I don't know where this comment co...@Fourcade:<br /><br />I don't know where this comment comes from. I have 57 exalted reputations and I never relied on anyone to grind any of them. I got the Lich King dungeon reps and the Ashen Verdict by doing them with my guild, but anyone who played during Wrath would have those already, and you can probably earn the dungeon reps without a group now.<br /><br />All other reputations can be acquired by yourself or with the dungeon finder/BG system. A couple reputations would take hundreds of hours without a team, but 55 is low enough that you can skip a few anyway - I believe there are 60 reputations you can max.Sthennohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429676469805661834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-44482253126779586692011-03-06T22:21:42.540+01:002011-03-06T22:21:42.540+01:0055 reputations to exalted is inherently social. I...55 reputations to exalted is inherently social. Its nearly impossible to get the achievement soloing so you'll have a group of 3 or 4 people doing the work for one person's reward.Fourcadenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-23874971904159736222011-03-06T06:13:14.785+01:002011-03-06T06:13:14.785+01:00I'm kind of curious about the point of your gu...I'm kind of curious about the point of your guild. I get the asocial part but I guess I'm confused how this translates to raiding. Do you raid to have fun? Get gear? Make gold? See I ask this because your policy about punishing people who make mistakes would seem to contradict two of those motivators: progression and fun. <br /><br /><br><br>I am in a progression guild ( currently 1/13 hard modes). We wipe a lot, sometimes even on farm content. One of things I really appreciate about my guild is they tolerate a certain degree of imperfections. For example, I am terrible at Al'Akir. I make bad decisions and visually speaking the air phase just kills me ( I don't know if it's old age or what but I have so much trouble visually determining my distance from other people and the boss). While the I have tons of gold and paying up for my mistakes would not financially hurt me in the least bit I would probably hate raiding in this environment because all it does is point fingers at people's errors. Everyone in my guild makes mistakes. When we downed Nefaian we spent a lot of time Wiping to dumb things, people missing interrupts, pushing a cackles before I and the other healers were ready for it. But in the end when we down it, it feels that much better. Everyone did their jobs well. If we were taxing people for their mistakes it would have made the atmosphere tense and we probably would not have progressed.<br /><br /><br><br>Perhaps part of the reason you are having difficulty getting people to do progression fights, is that your raiding environment is not conducive to mistakes which are key to progression.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-16885068917319680752011-03-05T11:51:50.941+01:002011-03-05T11:51:50.941+01:00Night elf mage is in progress.Night elf mage is in progress.Caramaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-21995064074825278472011-03-05T11:47:18.279+01:002011-03-05T11:47:18.279+01:00For someone trying so hard to get those achievemen...For someone trying so hard to get those achievements, you don't seem to have a lot of progress.<br /><br />My guild (511 chars, but alts allowed, so I suppose the same amount of players as the PuG) has 1300 points without the leadership ever really caring about them. They are all gathered by random members who just decided that they wanna run some old instances for the achievements.<br />No one really cares about the total number, I had to look it up after reading your post, because it never gets mentioned in /g<br /><br />Also - the stay classy bunch of achievements only gives 10 points per race and 10 for the meta. Is it worth all the gold? o_0<br /><br />Anyway, would like to read your thoughts on how this recruitment pitch of yours is going (or is it too soon to expect results?)Grimnoreply@blogger.com
