I guess its a sign of the times - or something. Our guild is in a similar situaion. Casuals who had MC, ZG and Ony on farm then stalled on BWL. The more hardcore raiders started departing, the casuals disappearing into the woodwork to avoid raids and the idea of enforced raid attendance. Now we have a hard time getting enough head for MC. *Sigh* I can’t imagine the divide that Naxx is going to bring into borderline raiding guilds.

I love my new guild; The Pod People (TPP) of Whisperwind. They are so non-focused that it is a blast. There is random tournaments, mystery events, level 1 naked gnome races, and god knows what else they can think of. Anytime of day there is 20+ people on of various levels. Best thing is they are actually moving into raiding! Their recent ZG raid turned into a blast when everyone but the main tank decided to do the chicken dance emote. So at the precise time the tank pulled and turned around there was 19 people doing the chicken dance right as someone put the song on over Ventrillo :) Of course they wiped, but its now infamous amongst the guild as the greatest time ever.

Some guilds just don’t get fun and are far too business oriented. It’s loot addiction and can’t be cured… err well maybe the fabled “girlfried cure”.

The greatest part of TPP is the fact we’re random strangers that just want to have fun. We have a lot of alts of hardcore raiders from other servers that have fully switched over just to have fun, plan events, and help others. With such an old server it is often hard to get groups for lower level instances. I’ve had help in each and every instance so far. Sure it’s a level 50+ taking me through, but I’ve done these all before and I still get to see the dungeon at least :)

It’s not the joking around that’s annoying, it’s the obnoxious, excessive, and often times not inclusive joking around.

“In all honesty, end-game WoW is not fun enough unless you have a bunch of friendly people”
Only change to that comment I would make is replace “end-game WoW” with “end-game in any current MMO”

So many people forget that in any MMO I play (I will use WoW as an example as it’s my current poison of choice). My own guild just had a semi implosion with about 15 people leaving because we weren’t raiding to their expectations (first 2 bosses in BWL were killed then we have sort of hit a wall for the last 20 days or so) so they got frustrated and quit. Our guild has always been more on the casual side of the fence and they seem to have forgotten that part once we started being able to pretty much farm MC

As for the wiping on trash mobs it CAN be frustrating if it happens regularly because of goofing off, but I myself like to have or hear conversation happening when raiding even with the occasional wipe. On the nights were we just grind through the mobs and whatnot it’s just rather boring to me, and in no way resembles the definition for the word “fun” for me.

yay for rambling :D
