Just trying to get a feel for the server. When I played on live, I was too loyal for my own good most of the time.
"Feeder" guilds were simply the reality as most guilds would see some of their best and brightest lured away to the top 2 or 3 guilds. No one wants to be labeled as such, but it was hard for mid-range guilds to progress without losing some of their best. The top 10 players would be sitting on more DKP than they could do with because the guild as a whole had not yet gotten to the point of taking down targets that would net them upgrades. So those players would eventually lose patience and hop to one of the top 2 or 3 guilds and the mid range guild would suffer a huge set back. Normally at least 1 or 2 others would leave with that person. And quality new recruits aren't going to join up for a guild who can't hold onto their core.
So the cycle goes on more or less forever, where each time you make progress, someone loses patience and the guild suffers yet another set back. I've been in the middle of the cycle many times and am curious to know if it happens much here.
Anyway, to more relevant topics. Thanks for the advice on the guildhopping. Wasn't planning on it, but it is nice to know that it isn't the best idea in the world. I'll probably do some research on the guilds out there before joining up. I probably won't ever have the time to devote to a hardcore raiding guild (what is considered hardcore here anyway? I know back in the day, some guilds raided like 6 days a week. There any that still do that?), but I know that I eventually want to try my hand at raiding.
And this post is a hell of alot longer than it needs to be. Sorry
