Talking to Bornakk about Raid Rewards in Cata

[MiRai]

If the number of persons required to start a guild formed any part of the basis of a raid, then from Vanilla we'd have all required 40 signatures for a guild to be formed. That the number of signatures required to form a guild is now the same as the number of players the smallest raid will maximally hold is pure coincidence.

Note to that as little as two toons can form a raid.

I wasn't comparing guilds to raids, I was comparing guilds to guilds. Your 5 characters technically aren't a guild, they're half of a guild; but Blizzard is giving us a little leeway by saying 7/10 and 20/25 is acceptable. Those 3 sentences I wrote were their own separate ideas.

On multiboxers joining forces:
Why should we have to first of all?

Because Blizzard said so. They obviously want > 50% of the raid make up to be from the same guild.

On multiboxers joining forces:
Secondly, it means that where each of us once had our own personal guild banks accessable without the necessity of logging over characters, now that guild bank would have to be shared. I already make quite good use of all 6 of my own guilds bank tabs.

As Khatovar said, how difficult is it to leave an alt in your guild to hold the bank? I have my main in a raiding guild, where we all share the guild bank. I have 4 alts with 4 different guild banks holding all kinds of illegal goods from south of the border. My main will continue to get achievements and guild perks, while the alts, that I could care less about, don't get squat.

If my guild fails to meet the qualification for a guild by some technical standard, then why is Blizzard making this concession of reducing it to 7/10? Why give any leeway at all?

Because Blizzard said so. They obviously want > 50% of the raid make up to be from the same guild.

If we all agreed and mindlessly followed everything Blizzard said, simply because Blizzard said it, we'd all be posting on the WoW Forums with our real names. Blizzard isn't always right - recent events have quite adequately (re)proven that.

It is a possible solution and one we've already discussed on my server. This however doesn't address whether the requirement forcing this was fair or not.

I just couldn't level multiple teams. It'd kill me... hehe.
