Guild manager / raid leader hopped to one of the hardcore guilds on our server so as to have a break from leading. Our guild then proceded to break into casual / hardcore and I stayed with the more casual crowd in TBC. Still a great read through here as I had friends in more progressed guilds dealing with similar things.Auzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07276794013644003229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556575758010903163.post-92034761659861163252012-11-20T13:19:01.936-07:002012-11-20T13:19:01.936-07:00Yup, Razorgore and Vael were both well-known brick...Yup, Razorgore and Vael were both well-known brick walls for many guilds. I'm still stunned to this day that we managed to pull off the Razorgore kill-all strat.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your experiences with the split in TBC. If I had left it much longer, we could easily have split in a similar manner and lost so much of the core that there would be no picking up the pieces.<br /><br />I won't deny that luck played a huge role in my successes as Guild Leader in those early years, but even now, looking back, with the experience that I *do* have, one thing is for certain...<br /><br />...situations like these need to be rectified and decisions need to be made, and they almost never favor everyone.Shawn Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110605868875966328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556575758010903163.post-85859932307656795642012-11-20T08:46:11.928-07:002012-11-20T08:46:11.928-07:00It's really kind of scary, you guys went throu...It's really kind of scary, you guys went through almost the exact same progression pattern my guild did, with the exception of us getting stuck on vael for months. God, the screaming when he died.. haha. We also ended AQ40 early in order to check out Naxx, and got about as far as you guys in there as well.<br /><br />Unfortunately during TBC (Where I also had to make the switch to shadow priest, for the same reasons. Was playing holy paladin before that.) , the guild split in half. Straight down the middle of our core raiding group, and the half I was in never really recovered.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148944962619656478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556575758010903163.post-48997732354742621942012-11-19T17:32:12.146-07:002012-11-19T17:32:12.146-07:00:| That was a very awesome read but now I've g...:| That was a very awesome read but now I've got the itch to resub after a year and a half off.
