My guild is not a public guild.
We don’t recruit publicly ,were not on the progression forums, we don’t run pugs. hell Im not even in the forums recruiting threads. Since i started the thing we have never ever spammed for members or even dropped a hint were recruiting.
So this begs the question how the heck am i turning 10 + people away from the guild a week that don’t know anyone in the guild. I mean i ask this question, and get a oh i’ve heard your a good guild.
FROM WHO?????????
Oh just around.
I mean not that im complaining about the whole not having to recruit thing, but we apparently have a rep.
I have a gm in another guild that litterally obssess about me and my guild. He apparently spends his time bashing us. I didn’t even know who he was until one of my new recruits who came from his guild told me.
All i can say is just Wow, get over yourselves people!
On a side note, i mentioned to my guild we were short healers like a week ago. I now have like 3 more than i need, and 4 more that have apped in. I think my guildies have lists of people that are just waiting for a spot to open up.
He he, ahh well its much better than scraping for people ! /cheers.
I’ve done that a long time ago in another guild it sucked butt. I must have done something right this time.
learn from your mistakes gm’s, be fair, and don’t back down. If you pur a rule in place don’t ever let people walk on it. Never be afraid to gkick those that are not appropriate. This is btw, the 3rd guild i’ve run in two mmorgs.
And im kinda a big influence in my vanguard guild i think if i had more time i’d probably rule the roost there.
Do any of you gm’s have issues sitting back and letting someone else run stuff?
or are we all, full of opinions we know are good and think everyone should listen to even if they don’t take the advice? I think thats part of what makes a good gm. Being able to grab something by the balls and run with it, The backbone being the other part of course.

Anytime you are wondering what people are thinking… try to think like them. When looking for a guild what’s a good way to start?
/who Karazhan
/who Gruul
/who Magtheridon
Then check the guilds of people in your search results then start /who on each guild.
Scary!

We are a casual group, (with only three of our active officer-types at lvl 70 after 6 months!!) with plans to mostly 5-man and help each other with quests and such. Very much a casual friendly social guild who has our active folks ‘hire out’ for allied guilds who need spots filled.
We have recently started to run into the same thing. I’m the guild leader and am often randomly approached with potential recruits. Where from “Pugs that saw our folks be good and friendly!”. So now we are at teh crux of deciding, do we like our smaller family-size guild, or do we want to expand and start looking ahead to end-game 10-mans?
How does your group do things?
