Running a Large Guild

[Pallarfo]

Thats not that much regarding the amount of people online.
Dungeons x7 and the 10% of the loot - repaircosts (everybody) our guild is around +/- 2000 each week.
Do they loot ?

you can do raids with a group of level 80's/70 if you still got a set of 80's as long as there level 80 you can get the dungon thing. at the end of WOTLK i could easy 5 man os with the ads down and to be fair the 500g be great just all my 80's are like 82 to and it don't work. might even level a group to 80 and stop there xp. for this as the guild am in nerver do the raid as well

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?

Generally you don't pay them anything.. They raid to have fun.

Greetings,

I just wanted to say that I recently bought a lvl 14 guild that was close to lvl 15. I paid 14k,which was way less than I thought the guild was worth. It has 5 tabs, and it had 1k in the guild bank, so all in all I think I got a deal.

The guild s pretty much dead though. It had over 100 members. I kicked about 30 that had not been on in forever. Only about 10 players actively log in, and no one complained that the GM changed hands. Since buying the guild my chars have probably done about 5mil guild xp, and it was only a little over a week ago that I bought.

I don't have a full 5 man multibox team yet, I am still leveling up my team.

I was curious, should I get more people, or just level it up myself? I figure once I get 2-3 teams at lvl 80 with my RAF, I should be able to at least get 5 levels in the guild by doing 80-85 questing with those teams.

Also props to the OP for being so damn rich. I am pretty recently returned to the game and feel I can start raking in the cash once I have a good 5 man multi going

I gave up on leveling my guild alone with my boxing teams at level 11 and started inviting people. Guild is level 19 now and still growing and going. Some things like bank tab #8 (have each possible race and class combination leveled to 85) are alot easier to achive with more members. On top of that its somewhat relaxing not having to go for the guildxp cap each day.

I just joined a guild instead of trying to level my personal tag. No regrets (top horde progression on the server with kickass people.)

This is really new for me but we are just starting to get a core group of raiders. The raid leader has lots of boss kills and we (well not me but my guild) do raids but with only about half guild members so they aren't guild raids yet.

But all new people coming into the guild want to raid and aparently the guild was a known raiding guild back in wothlk and sooner and some people remember that, although it does seem that current people are all farmers.

We are up to 480 level 85's (its went up since I took over my spamming trade for new members works) we lose 2-3 a day but also gain 2-3 a day plus we get those in the guild who level up and hit 85, they ususaly stay as they are getting guild rep while leveling, but they don't seem to want to raid.

I am sure we will be the first guild on the server with 500 level 85 members. I think that is something in itself. But again we never have more then 35-40 total online at any one time, still it gets better daily and having 20-30 level 85s online each night is nice and the guild chat isnt completly dead like it was. I was able to talk with 2 people who left, one left cause his friend invited him into his guild but was happy with my guild and another left cause "to many kids" and took his 5 alts with him .... well its expected that there will be turnover in a guild this size.

Iv put like 3K into the guild bank for repairs this month, as monies is coming in from dungeon runs and looting; so even with 30g a day plus for repairs for all the level 85s there is some funds in the bank.

Ya I was in a guild briefly in EQ (Hate) but never really did well so being able to run a guild is a step up for me for sure.

And I can see where I will be able to do raids (Im the guy the appoints the raid leaders so I guess Ill be invited lol) and heroics with my guys when they hit 85. Though not sure if I can box or not but I can gear my tank for sure.

A lot of people don't raid cause they say they can get good enough items without raiding, I guess its not like EQ at all where there is a huge difference between raiders and non raiders gear wise, but I knew that already.

Woot just logged in to find we did our first Guild Raid Killz. The first two boss in BoT (normaL) down!


Anyone know of a easy way to see who in the guild has high guild rep. Im not finding addons to show that.

Check out the armory for your guild.

Go to roster and click the "achievement points" drop down on the top right corner and set it to Guild Activity.

While this will not show you their faction (you have to check each individual for that) you can see who has contributed the most Points to the guild by looking under the "lifetime" column.
