Running a Large Guild

[Sam DeathWalker]

Ya on the 2nd guild I dont really plan to do much, they seem to be doing fine without my input. Iv kept everything the same except I took away everyones ability to kick others.

Why would I give advise on something I don't know about? Im getting an idea of the raid progession though but as to the actual battles I just defer to the "raid leader". In the first guild we have like 13 or 15 people who can lead raids I just tell people go talk to them if someone has a progression question.

Basically in the first guild I just recruit and offer gold to anyone who does a FL raid (10K for our first one). We had 440 level 85 when I took over the first guild and there are 487 as of today. A bunch quit cause I wouldnt kick some guy telling everyone how bad they play in chat (he made a big deal about a frost DK who wanted to dual weild instead of 2H as tank), then he quits and turns out he is in the new guild lol, but he not say much in the new guild chat though.

I only kick people if they are inactive, if people are playing who cares what they do or say.

Im not really a "active" GM, I dont raid (no level 85 toons), I just make sure everything is going ok. Pay for the Caulderons and keep some gold in the bank for repairs (1K a week or so).

Ya the 2nd guild seems hard core players whereas the first is casuals. And yet neither seem to raid FL lol ...

There seems no simple way to merge the two guilds as they are dissimilar.


Now thats not to say I am never going to know raiding but it takes a lot of time, as you know, reading EJ to max everything and watiching videos of fight stratagies and reading about the fights. I have to get all my guys to 85 before I even attempt that. The good thing about boxing a lot of characters is that I dont have to be doing 100percent with each; even if I am doing 70 percent with each I am still doiing great.

Its not I am completely unknowledgable:
