Rethinking the raid guild

[Brista]

Now there is a middle ground. You can start a more conventional guild, and then slowly ratchet up the pressure to play better as you get into more challenging content.

Yeah I suspect middle ground is the way to go. While some people have felt "interesting idea" a lot of people are appalled by the idea and no one has strongly come out with "that's exactly what I've been waiting for"

OK so let's see what to salvage from the idea

I like the idea of class/raid role leaders writing up reports. Even without scores I think people will be much more focussed if their contribution is discussed. And a lot of the people who don't try are pretty blatant/stupid about it. Eg He's not that great, he only beat me cos he uses potions

I do think that we can get away with awarding the Player of the Month within each class/raid role an item. It's the stick that concerns people, not the carrot. Even if they don't like it at least it's only once per month not daily

How about the idea of raid roles rather than classes? It was frustrating as a Feral Druid to be strongly encouraged to make way for dps warriors in crap greens. I'd rather have signed up as a tank, be prioritised for tank loot but not healer loot, than have signed up as a Druid and been prioritised for healer loot I didn't want. Maybe a hierarchy where a Tank Leader is in charge but we also have class leaders
