I’m in one of those odd duck casual semi-raiding guilds. One advantage we have is that the guild is made up of mature adults. Though we move slowly through raid content, I would call everyone that chooses to participate is dedicated to progressing. The keyword, of course, is that they all CHOOSE to participate.

“Would it have affected your decision to leave your old guild if would have had to change servers?”

I’m a guildmate of mallet’s, and I transferred to ner’zuhl just before xmas myself.

I’ve played WoW for three years, and it took me a solid 2 years after the only other guild I liked fell apart, to find Carnage.

Honestly, sometimes you have to look at what you play this game for; and if you play this game to raid sometimes you have to make some sacrifices and move away from less motivated people. Its generally nothing personal, its just the reality of wanting to raid; you can’t be a slouch and progress.

Carnage is pretty casual by every meaning of the word; as mallet says: don’t let people tell you that playing well makes you some hardcore freak, it just makes you good at the game you play.

No. My Dwarf wasn’t a native of Ner’Zuhl. I transferred here and left a few good players behind but that’s another story. Several months later, they decided to follow me.

“IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve had to make the tough choice of parting ways with some friends a long time ago to play in my guild now. But weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re on the same server and we still chat and I still play with them every now and again. Just because you change guilds doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t mean you change friends. ”

Would it have affected your decision to leave your old guild if would have had to change servers?

i object:)

We frequently take about 30-45 minutes to get mage food made, get everyone summoned, settled in, and buffed…

ALWAYS listen and follow the raid leader
Take 10 minute breaks after each boss kill

we’re still dedicated, motivated, and definitely not lazy, we’re just relaxed and enjoy the fun in voice chat and throwing heavy leather balls around. But once we get started we get down to business:)

“Am I hardcore, No. I don’t really think so, but I’m just dedicated to what I choose to do around the schedule that I have”.

Im just simply “Dedicated”

Most people in my Guild are not, nor do they seem committed. Most enjoy their altism with characters thus less effort dedicated to their raid characters. Obviously Im only Dedicated to one character to which I put all my effort into.

Yes its frustrating trying to progress in a guild with players with a casual attitude to many things with the sphere of raiding. I guess im a progessive minded player in a guild of what seems to be casuals with exception to just a small few individuals.

As yet i haven’t decided things either way.
