It's hardFollow

When your guild falls apart.

It's hard.

I am Ronin.

Anyone else having this similar problem? Their guild was doing fine, progressing, getting people geared, friendly banter in gchat. Then suddenly, one or two key members decide they don't want to 'wait for other people to catch up', and then gquit and join a higher progressed raiding guild. Which ensues a landslide of people doing exactly the same thing.

We had 1 officer left in my guild, me. We had one per class, and a few more for PvP and PvE/website related issues.

I said **** it, I tried to keep my finger in the damn too long. Promoted a few other people to invites and officer status and gquit.

It's never easy. My advice would be to try to find some like-minded friends and form a core group to either find a new guild or start growing out a new one. A good, semi-permanent heroic group is not very far from getting enough people to run a 10-man or joining as a group to supplement a raiding guild losing members due to school pressures. ZA is around the horizon too, so 10-man raiding is going to get a bit of a revival soon.

I'd poke around the guilds on your server and see if any are looking for a Warrior - you have decent Kara tanking gear it looks like, and a guild working on Magtheridon may be looking for decent Protection warrior applications. If not, see if there's some kind of PuG Karazhan group or similar you could either form or get into - those are usually good recruiting groups, I know that we've pulled a fair number of members from Pugazhans that we started running individually when we stopped doing Kara as a guild.

Already definitely whoring myself out to highest bidder as is.

I helped build this guild from the ground up, had some IRL friends in the guild, which helped initially.

I've got other gear, I meet the req's from the other raiding guilds by far, just shy of DPS gear for many (I picked going sword arms spec for dps not axe, which is 5% less crit, which makes it harder to get the crit requirements for many guilds).

Your right Jorsh, I should just go find a bottle of pills, die my hair black, and put on some fishnets; drowning my sorrows in whiskey and Valium. Sounds just like the thing to do. Thanks.

I feel you, dude. My guild has been through that...twice. We've lost so many 70s who are sick and tired of waiting for the rest to catch up that we don't have enough 70s to do Kara. I've been offered tanking spots but I chose to stay, I made a silly mistake by leaving a long time ago. Different people have different aims in the game, some would like to experience the end game but for me and the rest who stayed, we've known each other for so long that leaving would be to much of an effort :P

I would say stay with your current guild and try to pull it back up. It's a lot of work but the end result is very nice. Anyways, good luck in finding a new guild.

My guild didn't break up, but they started recruiting HORRIBLE members. The new recruits were a motley of ninjas, huntards, and this one guy who refused to talk in guild chat or party chat and would only communicate to his party with /say Go...

I totally agree guildlessness sucks horribly. Trying to PuG instances but it seems there is an excess of tanks on my server, so im sitting on UB gear at 68. Fun..
