I have this exact same problem, though I haven’t been lucky enough to find a guild with people who work the same shift.

Actually, given the upcoming changes to guilds and their new acheivements in the planned “Cataclysm” expansion, Size/Progression may well soon become an important factor in looking at your guild. After all, if your guild is too small or too low-level to get certain acheivements, thereby gaining certain benefits, then you might well consider that a factor in deciding whether or not to stay.

Brilliant, concise and right to the point Shadowcaster! It is these people, the “lewt hores”, that have missed the whole basic underlying factor of gaming – fun! And the fun with MMOs is the community of people that you interact with.

People play WoW and other mmorpg for many different reasons, as such there are many guilds with different goals. It’s all good, If you like being in a guild where there’s alot of trash talk, join a guild that does that.. etc

It’s all about fun.. Excellent article..

Leaving a guild because of a progression issue is similar to leaving your gf/bf because one a little hotter likes you. If you always try to inch your way up in the end you get no where. Going for the flavor of the week never got anyone anywhere. Progression tends to go in waves, and guild A might be a few bosses behind guild B, but in a month that could be different. I try to address the reason there is not enough progression to make a decision like that, rather than slow progression as a reason to leave on its own. If your guild is slowing because it is short on a few people, give it some time. If you are consistantly getting no where because the guild as a whole is not motivated, or afraid of a challenge, poor organization skills of raid leaders, then maybe it’s time to go.

If you feel the whole game is the selfish progression of “your charecter” (sic) then you are exactly the type of person I’d be glad to have leave my guild to go somewhere else.

The purpose of a guild is to progress together and have fun. If your guild isn’t progressing and doesn’t have the major problems listed, you are inherently part of the problem. Its time you became part of the solution and made yourself and guildmates better with better gear, strategy, etc.

If you believe what you just wrote, you could make your guild better by typing /gquit.

Ok article, but standard. He needs something more interesting and in depth to show his real skill. Also I disagree on the matter of Size/Progression being the weakest reason to leave. The whole game is about progressing your charecter, first from 1-80, and once your 80, its all about gear and raids, so in my opinions its actualy one on the most valid reasons to jump ship and join a new guild
