Here it comes. wait for it, wait for it! WAIT FOR IT!!!! AND......

BOOM!
Hi again every1. It´s wednesday witch means Maintence day.

So todays blog will be about progress again. This is part 2 btw.So if you didn´t read the first one i vould sudgest u go do that so you you know what im talking about.

So what i will talk about today is the progress impact on guilds in general.
I think i made it clear in the last blog about this that a guild needs progress. If it dont got an the guild will slowely die out.
So what does people count as progress these days? Well the only kind of progress people want and are locking for it 25 man progress. Since almost every player atm sees 10 man progress as pugable. Wich some of it isnt btw. Atleast not ICC 10. But people want the best gear and because of that they want 25 man raids. I know almost every player has heard the classic excuse why a person leaves a guild " I want to raid 25 man end game content"
This is where i alsmot facepalm. People want end game 25 man? By end game i mean Lich king normal and hardmodes 25 man.
How do they expect to join a "end game raiding guild" when they havent even cleared fester and rot on normal mode 25 man? what signals does this send a recruiting officer off an end game guild. They one shot these guys without even breaking a sweat.
And these players who leaves a guild who almsot got a 25 man team who is stabel becuase the guild doesnt got the manpower for a 25 man raid.
I wonder how people think here, "lets leave a guild because it doesnt got 25 mans going". How do they expect to get anywhere with that attitude? How do they think all these "end game" raiding guilds started? All guilds started of the same way. They could barely get people for a 25 man raid. Those guilds who pulled through every patch and lack of members situations allways had and still got atleast 20-25 people who are DEDICATED to the guild. What i want to know is where did the guild dedication go?
If you join a newely started guild, or any guild who cant get the manpower for 25 mans you should be dedicated to the guild. Because leaving the guild within 1 or 2 weeks isnt good for the guild moral. I guess most of you think "Why should i care? Im not a member of that guild anymore?" Well, this is an MMORPG, where you meet people in pugs all the time, or see them while you are questing or farming. How do you think they see a person who left their guild within 2 weeks with the reson "I want to raid 25 man not 10 man"? They vouldnt respond so friendly vouldnt they? atleast i vouldnt.
PPL also wonder why guilds got these long application forms or why they got a trial period for 3 weeks of time. Its because they want to find the DEDICATED players for their guild. They want to find the players who actually cares about the guild in first hand, not them selfs, the guild. And they want to find the players who doesnt leave for the reson "i want to raid 25 man". If you are lucky to get about 30-40 members who are dedicated to the guild. This guild can get far. They are considered a good guild. these are the guild people want to join. These are the guilds all the non dediated players want in. Why you might wonder. well the answer is simpel. They want to raid 25 man not 10 man. they cant wait 1 or 2 weeks for the guild to really get going. they want to raid 25 man now!

Ok this wasnt really about progress at all. Well a some was of it. and progress was in the back all the time. but i guess i got carried away.

well next blog will be on sunday i might continue on this topic. thogh i dont know.
Before i call it to an end ill throw in some stuff that got into the game this week.
The ICC attempt system has been extended to 35 attempts on end wing bosses and LK(hardmode that is)
And the ICC buff is online. this buff gives you +5% HP healing done and DMG done in ICC. it can be turned of by talking to your faction leader. This will make ICC a little bit easier.

Remember ppl. Dedication and bonding with your guild is worth more in the long run then the progress. We play this game to meet new people, to have fun. Not to make enemys because you didnt have any patient to wait for a 25 man team.
