Running a Large Guild

[Zub]

Edit to add: I still think you'd level up even faster if you just took each group of five separately and quested them to 85. Yeah, it can get monotonous doing the same quests over and over, but you get so much reward experience (even without RAF or guild perks) that it is pretty fast. Only collection quests slow you down but you plow through mobs very quickly. I have fifteen 85s, with ten of them leveled up as multiboxed five-man groups. And my shaman/warlock team is 70 now and will probably hit 85 sometime early next year. I may get to twenty level 85s before you get any of them via the AOE grind method, and I consider myself a pretty lazy leveler.

That's very good advice, and amazingly it is the exact same advice the whole community gave Sam something like 2-3 years ago when he started his 'project'.
But Sam is Sam, he knows better than that and has all these awesome leveling spots allowing him to blast through a 3rd (4th?) RAF with still a bunch of toons in the 40s/50s.

Nothing new here :-)

Indeed.

In fact he's finally outlevelled me because I stopped playing over two years ago having got to whatever max level it was back then while the best player in the world was still at level 40 or something.

Three years to level from 40 to 80. Thats certainly the most fearsome track record.

Seems they stack but its the level 21 perk, being able to summon everyone to most anyplace I can park a toon which is so nice. I can park alts most anywhere I want to go and bang .... Im there.

And of course I have way over 1000 guildmates to ask for help (and summon lol), and 400K in the bank (and over a million in gold in items to sell); so I do start a bit ahead of where I did before.

And my JC mage has hit level 83 from doing the JC daily everyday.

Fair enough.
Want to give an estimate as to when you'll have 30 toons at max level?

Well I renamed the PvE guild to "The DeathWalker Imperium" and the PvP guild to "The DeathWalker Dominion". Finally getting my golds worth.

The PvE guild is going flat out, new raid master has gotten us 6/7 in firelands normal and I am expecting 7/7 after tonight. Up to 505 level 85's with more joining the leaving.

The PvP guild is quite, I dont do a thing actually, slowly losing membership but new people do come in from time to time. No new accomplishments, just people teaming up for 2v2 and 3v3, but thats what the guild is for.

Meanwhile I am working on getting 5 million gold in AH sales on one guy, hoping that to be a wow first.

And wasting time on RL .... bleh.

Too slow (again):

That site doesn't seem to follow anyone past 2 million (understandable, when you think about it). How would anyone track something like "first to 5 million gold," much less "first to 5 million via AH?"

In any case, Sam should probably contact that site. If he's got a guy with 4+ million then he'll make the list twice, at least...

lol you're trying SO hard to be the best at *something* (anything). It's very entertaining.

I said it years ago, someone else also said it above : as long as blizz releases new expension : never - he missed the wotlk deadline and he will miss the end of cata too...

What I am interested in though is getting my hands on a level25 guild - is that achievable legally with just 5 boxing ?

I suppose I should find the "getting gold faq" - I have some more questions but not sure about what the TOS has to say with respect to "selling" GM (and don't want to violate our rules)

Sure, why shouldn't it be achievable "legally"? I've grinded my guild to rank 25, think I got it early may this year.
It's rather boring, but probably more fun and rewarding than mindlessly farming FL trash for BoEs. Counting the posts on this forum alone, it looks like a lot of ppl farmed that trash, so why not grind guild xp...
