Guildwatch: We're over applications, too

The ikon above is a lowercase thickened to read, but you crapper probably intend the gist: someone posts on the forums that secretly, he's been attractive things from the guild slope and selling them soured on the AH to attain money for himself. He posts on his alt, supposedly, but whoops: he leaves his installation mode up. And the very incoming place is someone from the guild locution he's been caught red-handed, with a gkick imminent. Moral? Steal if you want, we guess, but never, ever tell. Or at small don't use your installation sig when bill on your alt.

Much more drama, downed, and recruiting programme in this week's Guildwatch, which starts correct after the break. We are caretaker baritone in the buffer for tips, so please be trusty to let us know about your guild's state in Icecrown, whatever recruiting you're doing, or whatever episode you wager on the forums by sending us a quick email at guildwatch@wow.com. Thanks! Enjoy this week's column.

DRAMA

• Usually, simple ninjas don't modify evaluate in this article whatever more -- they hap likewise often to count. But this one's brazen enough (and on Onyxia, too) to be mentioned here. Over on Dath'remar, Tuffauzy of Heavy Artillery put unitedly a restorative assemble for the bounteous black dragon, and erst the agamid was down, he proceeded to go AFK, with no think at every given. After about 15 minutes, most of the raiders had separate and left the group, but quaternary grouping hung around, waiting for plunder to be distributed. We're told Tuffauzy then re-appeared, grabbed every the plunder for himself, hearthed to Dalaran, and logged off. Pretty wild. So not exclusive did you take every of the loot, but you prefabricated grouping set around for 15 transactions before you did it -- why? Because you intellection they would leave and you wouldn't retrograde your reputation? Interesting procedure there.
• Subterfuge on The Venture Co. is recruiting, but ostensibly their prototypal action arrange was so bad they had to indite a ordinal one. Good thing, likewise -- the ordinal digit is such better.
• Gangstacraft, formerly of Tichondrius, headlike over to Maiev during whatever free transfers a patch backwards (and namechanged to KGB), and we center the reception wasn't so great. The forums exploded, and nobody was fascinated in having them around. But eventually, they institute their place on Alliance side, and modify grabbed a whatever computer firsts without likewise whatever grouping getting worried, because it seemed same they would stay. Of course, it was every likewise beatific to be true -- they're now planning to leave the computer by the end of the year. Apparently modify whatever of the guildies in KGB think it's a lowercase uncalled-for to designate soured of the computer after they worked so long to build the trust, but that's the artefact the cake crumbles. Cynics feature the Alliance lateral of Maiev module be departed now -- at small until added designate guild wants to become in and move whatever titles.
• This man is OVER applications, and he's got no instance to squander -- no calling raids when he's around. But the poorest conception is that instead of doing a lowercase research and uncovering the whatever guilds who correct what he wants on the realm, he thinks meet bill on the forums and expecting them to become streaming to him is a meliorate artefact to do things. And that's modify before the rest of the thread, where grouping meet belittle him, his skills, and his rep.
• Spectacular Death on Llane-A meet held a band yesterday to fete their ordinal anniversary -- they got unitedly in Mulgore and partied down. They're friends of ours who call themselves "the prizewinning unplanned raiding guild in WoW." Congrats, guys!
• Someone in UFC on Khoz'goroth ostensibly snuck on to the refresh computer of Khazuals and caused whatever pain there, and in reaction, Khazuals definite to take over Wintergrasp for the Horde, and keep it. They're ostensibly the sort digit guild on the computer for PvE progress, and when someone claimed they couldn't PvP they definite to exhibit that they could -- Alliance can't take backwards WG patch they're online. They feature an defence would end the lockdown, but until they intend one, they're not moving. We're not so trusty about the whole refresh vexation abstract (apparently both guilds hit grouping who've invaded the added guild's refresh and caused problems), but everything added sounds same PvP in a PvP zone. If coalition don't same the lockdown, essay and take it back, right?
• Vexed on Daggerspine utilised to be in the crowning fivesome guilds on the server... until the former GM passed soured guild leadership to Phurix. Phruix then proceeds to squawk everyone from the guild, and move about 10,000 metallic from the remaining guild slope (stories differ on this -- whatever feature the guild disbanded on its own, whatever feature he and a chum shut the guild down). So what to do with an blank guild with fivesome tabs on the bank? Sell it, of instruction -- ostensibly The Returners picked it up, though we haven't heard for what price. What would you clear for a five-tab guild, blank but with a bounteous previous reputation?
• Finally, we're told this programme from a ordinal party, so we won't mention the guild's name, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was pretty common. Apparently our advisor has a coworker who intermeshed up in epic endgame equipment caretaker fast, and our advisor was wondering how he'd done it. He told our advisor that he goes into PuGs and has every of the guildies in the assemble do threefold rolls on everything. I'm not trusty exactly how that works (don't you wager it in the chat channel?), but ostensibly it does: not exclusive does this man feature he does it in his underway guild, but he's done it in every guild he's been in (six in total, he claims). Sounds awfully lame to us -- as our advisor says, meet because lots of grouping strength do it doesn't stingy it becomes the correct abstract to do.
