YES! And well put - thanks Alan. I have received support many times from the TF officers in establishing my run, offering ideas/suggestions, and participation. For the "Team Omega" run, there are loot policies (friendly basically) and things like consistent attendance, showing up with food/flasks/repaired are strongly encouraged. And many of us in TF would like to progress and experience content. But that is not the reason/focus of the guild as a whole. Does that make raiding/progressing wrong? Certainly not. However, if (and I'm not directing this at anyone in any way) progressing/raiding is the primary reason you play WoW, TF would probably not be the best choice.[7F]LarryBoy;334300 said:If we were a raiding guild, the population of the guild would be strongly encouraged to show up for officially scheduled raids. The guild leaders would set policy dictating attendance requirements, rules, loot rules, etc. If you had an issue with the raid policies, you would take it up with the leaders.
By stating that we're "not a raiding guild" I think we mean that the guild leadership is not sponsoring and overseeing the raid; it is purely the undertaking of the leaders of the raid (even if those leaders happen to be officers), and the authority and responsibility of the run rests on their shoulders.
I think what Bob and others are getting at is because we are "not a raiding guild" the guild is not going to "force" members to join these raids, and the guild is not going to make sure things are fair for all members of the guild or raid - invites, loot rules, etc. Really, the guild and guild's leadership has nothing to do with it.
I know many (officers included) are looking forward to giving Naxx 25 a run as a guild. I'm not worried that it will change the face or overall purpose of The Forgiven. And this way, Eric gets to sing for 24 of us instead of only 9 tragic toons...
