I definitely can't fault the guild for that.Yane (Yet another night elf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04373678689973023610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34280462.post-1170796656916507172007-02-06T13:18:00.000-08:002007-02-06T13:18:00.000-08:00Most guilds are a dynamic of people with varying a...Most guilds are a dynamic of people with varying amounts of free time to play this game, with some rare exceptions where it seems the guild is there second job (or their first if you play like Death and Taxes..)<BR/><BR/>You describe a situation not foreign to any guild banging it out to 70. If the guild is a social one, then you might see more helpfulness to get those up and running to 70. If it's largerly made up of the competitive crowd, you'll largely be on your own.<BR/><BR/>My guild has both. I login and see folks in Shattered Halls while I'm smacking on quest mobs. I also see folks helping other players (aka priests) level up. I've also seen chunks of players leave our guild in favor of a more casual/family oriented style of play.<BR/><BR/>The good news is, in TBC smaller is better. The ultra-competitive players will likely leave or you will if the gap continues to widen. New guilds will form, old ones will die. It's the new way of things.chicograndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15983636930662775465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34280462.post-1170788157209652162007-02-06T10:55:00.000-08:002007-02-06T10:55:00.000-08:00I've been in the same Guild since I started playin...I've been in the same Guild since I started playing WoW, well, the first Guild I joined. Now admittedly the original members, a group of long time virtual friends all left for other Guilds, then left WoW altogether (except for one guy who I still chat with). One Guildie was in the right place at the right time and the founding members made him Guild Leader before they left, he brought in several of his RL friends, and while he's now left WoW (for the most part, he still logs in occasionally) his friends all still play. We recruited other players as well, and during various times in their WoW careers they all left for Raiding Guilds, which eventually broke up (which happens sometimes) and they all returned to my Guild.<BR/><BR/>Our highest member is currently 68 and most of the regular players are still just mid 60s. So nobody is in any real hurry to hit 70, in fact it's possible most of us are reluctant to level too fast because replacing our Purple items with Greens is just too sad, although it has to happen eventually.Cap'n Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267651027289124037noreply@blogger.com
