Comments on: Guild Bureaucracy: 7 Ways to Cut the Crap http://www.worldofmatticus.com/2008/12/10/guild-bureaucracy-7-ways-to-cut-the-crap/ Where healers come first Fri, 19 Mar 2010 10:02:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Zusterke http://www.worldofmatticus.com/2008/12/10/guild-bureaucracy-7-ways-to-cut-the-crap/comment-page-1/#comment-13617 Zusterke Thu, 11 Dec 2008 09:11:17 +0000 http://www.worldofmatticus.com/?p=2927#comment-13617 Interesting. We started with only role specific channels and later introduced additional class channels to increase our efficiency, with moderate success. The combination of both role and class channels allows you to apply coordination where it matters without creating overload. The forum is a different matter though... we have 1 forum for all specs and one for all raid discussions. What's the point of splitting it up? People can select the topics they read and we don't produce 20 topics a day :) I will post that 'empowered raiders' suggestion in our officer forum. Sounds like a good plan. It has been mentioned or encountered in the past but never discussed as a fixed approach. Interesting.

I just wanted to let you know that this post right here just ensured you a place on the top of my reader list. Your insights into all aspects of the game, especially healing, should not be missed by anyone who wants to improve their own performance. Keep them comin'!

As a guild/raid leader I expect my team to research the gear for the content we'll be raiding and see which upgrades they'll be after. That way when/if it drops they'll be ready to roll. When asking for rolls, placing a 5-10 second time limit and enforcing it would most likely speed things up.

Something like that. I personally don't like class talk garbage cluttering up my general forums and places like that. Shove them off into their own little corner. Besides there is nothing they can talk about that isn't covered on the WoW main forums anyway <abbr><em>Hudsons last blog post..<a href="http://hudshideout.com/blog/?p=1451" rel="nofollow">EA plans to make cuts</a></abbr></em> DPS, Heals, or TANKING is what I did on my guild’s forums back in the day.

That's a major time consumer. You need a way to efficiently hand out loot and get back to clearing the dungeon. I'd recommend that if possible, keep pulling provided the pullers aren't involved in giving or getting the boss's particular drops. Loot Distribution. That’s a major time consumer.
