THIS is how you recruit for your guild.

[Aquaplex]

More and more guilds ive been in lately have alot of girls in them. Most of the time they are better players than guys, especially when it comes to healing.

You are obviously not in a serious/hardcore raiding guild. No serious raiding guild has more then 1 female raider at best. Female wow players are nice to chat with on vent sure, raid wise they're nothing more then a liability. I will say though, once in a while u will find that odd female player that is actually pretty good, but that's few and far in between. Most female wow players view WoW as a cool instant messanger with pretty graphics.

My experience has been different. The last serious raiding guild I was in had 5 females; one was one of our better tanks, one was a lock, one was a mage who pvp'd all the time, and two were healers with one of those two being the priest leader. The tank would raid lead on runs for leveling alts. She was very cool and very good. The lock was a good player but she wasn't the best lock, but who cares about that? The other healer, not the priest leader, was a train wreck. She used to be a cop and would go on and on about getting shot in the line of duty and how she wasn't respected yada yada yada.

I work with a guy whose wife is the best geared player on their server, and he says there are 2 other female players in his guild as well. Aquaplex, your blanket statement works in certain cases but not all.

To the Original post, That's an epic recruitment advertisement, I've seen one like it on Elune recently, probably all copycats from an original

Ya know, looking at the original guild recruit post and at my keyboard, I noticed that my A and Z are like right next to each other.

3a. Essay:
In order for the admissions staff of our college to get to know you, the applicant, better, we ask that you answer the following question:
Are there any significant experiences you have had, or accomplishments you have realized, that have helped to define you as a person?

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four-course meals using only a Mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.
But I have not yet gone to college.

If you're being serious, you're epic fail.

I've had a pretty good track record with girls in WoW - the guild I was in for years was half girls, and they were a blast - we had everything from a 16 year old to a grandmother. The other guilds I was in, same thing - and two of them had women as guild leaders, and they were good at it. One was the main healer, the other was the offtank.

One of the best paladins I ever ran with was a very hot little number, according to Faces of Wow - she took her job seriously and played her butt off, and was the first one to show up for a raid, and the last one to leave. This was during vanilla, and she had a VERY good reputation on the server as a hell of a player.

I don't know, I don't mind women in my guilds and runs - but then, I'm not on WoW to pick up women, or do cyberstuff, and I don't play games or kiss their asses giving them stuff - and that makes a huge difference. They're just people, and they are as good and as bad as guys are, really.


As for serious raiding guilds not having women...that says all you need to know about a lot of "hardcore" raiders. 'Nuff said.

Well, clearly these folks would be using Dvorak keyboard layouts... which have A and Z on opposite sides.... ( A stays where it is, Z gets moved to next to right shift)
