Good points. I realize it will take time, but I'm not in the rush to 85 I've seen others engaged in. I'm currently grinding lower level dungeons using dungeon finder, because of the 300k xp it gives the guild. Since there appears to be a cap of 7 times I can do this a week (and get the 300k xp, which equates to around 2% each run), but I'm ok with that if the end result is something done well.

I would highly discourage anyone paying to transfer to my guild/realm. I think anyone interested should start a new team instead (once I reopen the guild to new members).

I'm also more interested in creating a good guild than necessarily a big one (I'd rather keep it as my own personal guild than spam trade channel with adverts).
