Guildwatch: What, no gnomes?


Tuesday means its time once again for Guildwatch, your weekly look into unfolding guild drama, dying bosses, and folks who could use you in the endgame. I particularly like this week's guild picture, because it has both a sitting bear AND a furbolg. Throw in a dancing treeform druid and you'd have everything you need for a fun Saturday night.

Remember, just like Sally, the waitress who's worked down at the Sidetrack Tap Diner for more years than you've been alive, this column lives and dies on your tips. If you've got 'em, send 'em to wowguildwatch@gmail.com. Click the link to read this week's GW.

DRAMA
  • Decree on Aman'Thul-H has apparently split up. The GM left a while back, and apparently the replacement caused lots of criticism and anger. That's never good.
  • The shaman class leader of Haven (who we reported last week was being split between hardcores and casuals) has responded to the allegations, saying they are complete and utter kodo krap. He thinks a former member of a "crowded class" led us wrong, and asks for an apology and a retraction. Yeah, except GW was exactly right-- the class leader says they're headed into Gruul's Lair, which means the hardcore members stayed and the casuals went. Which is exactly what we predicted. Good luck with Gruul, guys.
  • Envy on Bloodscalp-A is trying to weather the BC drama, too. They've had members leave them, but they're, like many guilds, just trying to determine the best way into Karazhan-- either grinding for gear for a while, or potting up and downing a few bosses. Anyone out there want to throw out advice for how to lead a guild into the new endgame?
  • The Sleeper Cartel on Perenolde is doing some awesome stuff involving ingame events. Unfortunately, they sent us a note about this too late to let you know it was happening, but last Saturday, they had a huge server-wide party with races, player-run quests, refreshments, and fireworks. I'm sorry I missed it. If your guild is doing stuff like this, please let us know so we can help you publicize it, either here on GW or on the site itself.
  • More BC friction: hardcore players from Divine Bloodline on Norgannon-A have split off to form From the Ashes.
  • Ninja Alert: Cyrice, a priest on Burning Legion-H, grabbed The Night Watchman and logged out.
  • Finally, here's a video of Los Banditos Locos on Barthilas-H taking out the gnomes in Ironforge. It's long, but oddly entertaining. And if capital city PvP is your thing, you'll love it.
DOWNED
  • Drop Bears of Moonrunner-A have downed Attumen the Huntsman (pic above).
  • Limited Order on Thrall-H has cleared Kara to Shade of Aran! Grats! Also, they're looking for a few more, esp. Pallys, Rogues, Mages, Shaman, and Druid.
  • Qualinesti Blood Guard on Aggramar-A downed Gruul. Their mage Hersheys needs to learn not to pull aggro-- apparently he died. A lot.
  • A Horde Dazed Knight (winner of this week's Best Guild Name award) on Mischa-H killed Ysondre, the world dragon in Duskwood.
  • And I'm sure a lot of guilds dropped Gruul after the hotfixes last week, but they were too busy getting set for the rest of the endgame to email us about it. Don't forget, if you've got a downing to brag about: wowguildwatch@gmail.com.
RECRUITING
  • DP, Inc on Aegwynn-A (it stands for Deadpool, in case you wanted to know) is looking for a few good active members. And they're the only guild I've ever seen witn a Myspace account. Which allows me to do a shameless plug!
  • Naga Please (who would have won the Best Guild Name award if not for the whole unoriginal thing) on Darkspear is actively recruiting lower levels for good times and fun.
  • Vahalla on Dath'Remar-A is looking for Dwarf priests, hunters, pallys, locks, and shaman. They specifically want people at GMT +8 time, too, as lots of them play in Oceania.
  • Consigned to Oblivion on EU Aggramar wants all classes except hunters. And he wrote a really, really nice note to us, so you know that's a good guild to join.
  • I asked for shammy love, I got shammy love: Kytharion Enclave on Dalaran-A wants druids and shammies of all levels. In fact, says the tipster, they're made up of only druids and shamans. That's awesome! My shammy is Horde, but I'm thinking of rolling a druid over there just to go on a raid with you all.
  • Sterling on Blackwater Raiders-A is a "moderate to high roleplay guild" that's selectively looking for quality players. Two of the officers run a podcast, too-- check it out if RP is your thing.
  • Nihilistic Intentions on Marlorne-H is an adult guild looking for 58+ to go with them through Outland and into Karazhan.
  • After Life on Kilrogg-H is recruiting all classes for casual endgame raiding.
Hey, I have a question for you all: anyone actually found a guild from all these recruiting notices yet? Just wondering. If you have, or have any other tips to send in, please do: wowguildwatch@gmail.com. See you next week!
