Wrong. She expected common courtesy from people who play a game, from people who verbally committed to the effort. The only misnomer in that situation is that courtesy from people playing THIS game is not at all common.

Sorry Pally.

For those of you who don't understand, Pally's story is an example of the difference between "progression" minded guilds and "casual" guilds. For those of you who think like Gutter, the story is an example of why the "elite" guilds don't want your casual asses.



Where's an example of someone presumably in an elite guild once again making himself look like a complete ass? Oh, never mind- I quoted it.

the only real control you could have is to get a few of your fav. friends and start you own guild with the understanding of what you guys want to do. this worked for me about 3yrs. ago and the guild is still going strong. i however left and went Alliance for a change of pace, but i still talk to them daily in real life.

Guilds for the most part suck hardcore in WoW I have never seen soo many people in diff guilds.


on another note I think the next mmo that even has a chance at touching WoW will be one that offers people more solo or 2 to 3 man content. the days of raiding for most people are over even 10 man can be a hassle.

I agree. Some players would rather be elitist and not have to deal with rude people who think their time is more valuable than your time. Well they aren't necessarily elitist, really it's about finding like minded people.


Also Gutter, in 'real life' if I am meeting people, I expect them to show up, for dinner, movie, drinks, whatever. None of it business. Just common courtesy. Your argument would be valid I think if they were trying to force people to show up for X hours like a job, these are volunteers who are a little inconsiderate.

ok Kryv, but are you going to go ballistic if someone doesn't show?


If you do, then are these people really your friends, or are you just concerned about what they can do for you?

Common Courtesy is a lost art. I learned a long time ago not to expect that from people who aren't dealing with me face to face.

Sad eh?

Yah but Cawlin, they didn't progress, anymore than a "casual" guild didn't progress.


I'm going to bow out while pointing to her statement about NOT going on successful pug runs, in order to be free for the guild.


The pugs made it, she didn't.


So, we have casual PUGs, doing better than a progression guild, on WRATH's 3 year old content....

I'll stick with the pugs that get the job done, you keep your elitist guild, Cawlin.

It's not about progression. It's about courtesy. Save your zeal to vilify "elitists" who care about common courtesy in the pursuit of the progression they've all agreed is their goal as well as your ridiculous /chuckling for someone who doesn't realize what a troll you are on this topic.
