Have Group Will Travel: Keep it?

[Fogyreef]

I personally love Have Group Will Travel (HGWT), enough to write some substantial posts in the WoW forums, capping one thread and spawning others. One got deleted that politely, but accurately called out Tom Chilton on his, well, you can read about it below.

The debate rages, yet few have the insight to see the realities underlying the controversial removal of one of the most popular guild perks.

The links below are pulled from the WoW forums and detail why Tom Chilton's "reasons" for removing HGWT are not only demonstrably flawed logic, but the antithesis of what Blizzard is trying to accomplish. I'm trying, selfishly yet still correctly, to save the perk wrongly accused causing what it actually mitigates. It's the guild perk version of "The Fugitive".

Please read the posts I linked, view the poll, try out the thought experiments and if you see what I see, please support the threads before it's too late and we lose HGWT to a knee jerk reaction to their self-created endothermic world bloat.

In addition to the outcry from the regular players in support of HGWT, as a multiboxers this topic seems especially important to us since HGWT means such uber convenience.

The Poll: (vote No if you want to keep HGWT)

This link points to the salvaged deleted post that once spoke Tom Chilton's name. It speaks directly to the quote attributed to Tom and how he gets it wrong:

This is the continuation of a my capped thread where you can find the pro's have the substantive debate advantage and the cons are reactionary and dismissive. I'm not biased, nooooooo. But srsly, it's ad hominems agaist the demonstrable good HGWT does for the community.

Here, as an extension, are some ideas that directly speak to the issue Blizz is blaming HGWT for. Got any of your own?

The Fugitive needs you.

Save HGWT. Eat dead content.
