Running a Large Guild

[Sam DeathWalker]

Well I am paying for repairs for all level 85's (bank got 1000g from some kind of challege) and we have like 300 or more level 85's and yet have not gotten enough guys together to do even one raid this week. None of my guys are 85 so I can't raid anyways (well not the raids that count).

A Bunch of people left and I had to kick like 50 who were inactive for over a month and under level 55 so as to make room for new members as we are still at 1000 members. Anytime someone leaves someone invites a new person .....

Ya its like true that no one in the guild knows anyone else. One raid leader left, probabaly out of frustration of not being able to get 10 guys out of 300 to raid lol ... And guild chat is almost always dead cept when I come online.

Otherwise though everything is great none problems loosing the guild and some are even impressed when I tell them "just google Sam DeathWalker" when they ask who I am.

The in game calandar and announcements are good enough to set up a raid I guess, none of the addons I saw were very helpful for setting up a raid.

One guy wanted the raid leader job but I told him no bank access but that Ill be paying for all repairs and that he should take the extra lootz that none wanted and buy flasks and stuffs with it but he said we can't advance that way (I have like 100K worth of items in the bank). I could make one tab open but I know I will forget and goof it up and lose 60K of stuffs.

Still if we keep getting more level 85s then we lose (which is the case since I took over) I think a raiding core will slowly build up. A level 25 guild with free repairs is attractive enough for raiders I thinks.

I'm not so sure about that.

If all you're offering is to cover repair costs, you might be able to support the occasional PUG raid, where people are expected to bring their own buffs and there aren't such rigid compliance checks. But I doubt that a steady group will form that will tackle current content with any regularity or success. In the event that it does, it probably wouldn't be long before they went somewhere else.

I may be wrong, but I can't imagine a situation where a solid raid group would form and stay together under those circumstances.

What else would they expect, they get all the lootz of course, and can use the extra to sell to pay for flasks and what not.

What guild leaders pay people to raid?
