FTW Disbands

Well, it wasn't disbanded as of this writing yet, but it's gonna hit pretty soon. I haven't been in-game lately so frankly all I know about the reasons is what I've read on the forums. And frankly, that really sux big time. First there were some raiders leaving, most of them the long-standing members of the guild. Reason being them not having fun any more, or that they wanted to play with their IRL friends etc.

Sadly you can't do much about that. The problem is that those were the small pebbles that stroke an avalanche of guild departures, climbing up the ladder rank, and more and more excuses were made because "So many old members left I don't enjoy it any more".

Reasons are all valid, but frankly, it's the way WoW works. There will always be people leaving for IRL reasons, going casual, getting a GF and cancelling accounts (hehe), and new players coming in, some horrible, some weird and some brilliant. All you have to do is open your eyes and try to get by with the new people, because otherwise, you'll just bite the dust, be it sooner or later. And that's what exactly happened to the guild. I don't blame anyone, but I don't think disbaning a guild because you think it's not a good feeling any more is the right way to go. It just proves you want to leave the crisis and remember the old guild in its bests, and go for a new start. I understand guild leaders and/or officers doing that, because frankly, leading a hardcore raiding guild is an insane dedication job. But still, going for a new start will not bring you back with old people.

I just find it a shame that nobody wants to stand up to the challenge of leading the guild. Hell even if it'd be a social guild of 10 ppl, seriously, why disband it??

Even in Kara days when I freshly dinged 70 I remember leaving the guild after GM said he's gonna make it casual guild for his irl friends, and we had an insane amount of talented people in there. It's just against my logic to simply disband it.

So meh that's it. Now I need to ask my IRL friends what they're gonna do, but if they're gonna apply to Lost sadly I won't follow them. I don't really have that much time.

Should rethink why I transferred in the first place...
