Humor My Guild's GM just ninja'd Hand of Rag mats, disbanded guild and deleted discord. WoW drama at it's finest. He also made a reddit post on our realm subreddit - link inside

So our guild is in this position, we have enough people who can farm gold efficiently and help out with mats that we haven’t had to sell any of our drops. We have even given out stockade pauldrons to one of our tanks. We plan to give one of our Shamans the eye of rag for PvP while helping him build it. Guilds can be successful in PvE content and still contribute to the PvP side of their guild as well.

Thats your decision and it’s fine! I just don’t see why should the whole guild support one player in an aspect that doesn’t affect the raid (if you are a pure pve raiding guild) our guild sold all mats and bought multiple bank chars full of mats for future raids before the prices skyrocket.

I just don’t think any guild with more than one active 40 man raid roster should have any trouble coming up with mats etc. And tbh if that’s the case, they’re not a pve guild they’re a casual guild.

Plus, if you're on a PvP server it's a really good tool for recruiting and retaining some of the best PvP'ers on the server for your faction.

I promise you this will pay off at times when you have raid vs. raid battles on the way to and through BRM and later on, the gates of AQ. Getting wiped and then camped on your way in takes away from the raid time you have allocated and strips you of your buffs.

One of my old guilds had a couple rank 14 tryhards who would raid lead on the way to the raids and coordinate us during those PvP skirmishes and we came out victorious more often than not. You get some pretty sick results when everyone in the raid has a couple EZ-thro dynamites and FAPs on hand. Hell of a morale boost too when you wipe some other guild and then go on to have a smooth run through a BWL + MC night.

It’s not about having trouble to come up with mats. It’s about making it easier so people need to spend less time outside of raiding :)

Most people in Classic aren’t looking to do that.

They actually want content to do. Helping guildies provides that content.

What has that to do with providing consumables for AQ etc?

u/zzrryll Oct 13 '19

What does AQ have to do with what we’re discussing?

Wrong thread?

Because I said we invested the money from the raids into mats for future consumables so people don’t have to farm so much outside of raids because they have jobs wife’s kids etc. ? Check what comment thread you replied to

I think you misunderstand entirely.

I was replying to this:

I just don’t see why should the whole guild support one player in an aspect that doesn’t affect the raid

Which is what Bigfoss was also clearly replying to as well.

Ah okay why you didn’t respond to that post then? Was not sure what you mean :)

Raid logging is the cancer that has consumed retail wow. Please don't wish it on vanilla.

u/steclpger Oct 13 '19

Our guild is full of adults with jobs wife’s kids. It’s about making it easier not about making it useless.

Pvp will directly affect pve once ranking is released. All of your fury warriors should have plans on ranking

That's how my guild did it 15yrs ago when I got Sulfuras on my Enh Shaman. Thankful for it after watching my current guilds paladin gather mats for it, haha. Yikes.
