| [Raiding] Opinion needed Background info:
I left my current raiding guild due to differences with GM. Basically I was told my job as the raid leader is just to lead during the instance and outside of that , they were going to do things they way they wanted this included:
1. Deciding who went to the raid.
2. Deciding when breaks where taken (which meant a 7 minute break for almost every 40 minutes of raiding)
3. Deciding what we raided.
This was a guild that was 1/8 in FL before I came in as raid lead and I took the raid team to 7/8 FL and then 5/8 DS before the nerf. At this point we raided 2 nites a week / 2 hours a nite.
I said no thanks and left. Between that time and now , someone transferred their dead guild over , a lvl 17 , and we (the wife and me) , agreed to help recruit and build a raid team. He made us officers and off we went. The downside is the GM here is only on during the weekends and does not want to raid due to latency as he is working away from home. This has gone on for about 2 months now.
Current situation is I found a guild with an old ingame friend that needs a raid lead. I moved my main toon over to that guild and starting leading the raids and the first nite we went 4/4 in DS where before they were barely getting 2/4. I have been given free rein as far as raid nites / who goes to the raids and what we raid. Both myself and the wife are officers in the guild. This guild is level 19 almost 20.
My problem is do I owe anything to the other guy who transferred over his guild or should I just concentrate on helping out the current guild since it is more established , has more members and they are more committed to raiding.
What do you guys think? |

| Do you know the guy that transferred over IRL? Is he just a casual player? Imo I would just tell him we have different interests in the game and I have nothing against him. |

| No I dont know him IRL. He is a casual player as he has not raided since ICC. |

If you and your wife worked diligently for 2 months while the GM only logged on the weekend, then I'd say you did your fair share and should feel no lingering obligation.
I get that you were feeling unappreciated in the first guild you mentioned, but a GMs role is to keep the guild together, and happy. I'm sure there were gritty details you left out, just saying that if all you want to do is raid lead, and you don't want the burden of being GM, I'm not sure you want all that extra authority. I could be wrong. Anyway, best of luck to you and your wife with this new guild. It sounds like a good fit for you guys.

Work on your current guild and enjoy yourself.
People know that transferring toons/guilds does not always work out, it is the nature of WoW. Don't feel guilty, you owe nothing. |

Houma, LA | Well if a GM only comes on for weekends, and doesn't want to raid. He wasnt too worried about the weekdays or raids before you and wife arrived, so what will change after? |

My pally was brought over to Smolder-fail to raid back in Tier 11. Spectres worked hard to gear me up at that point because they needed a solid H-pally. I raided with them through T12 on Sanctitie, then switched back to my rogue as my main (since Vanilla).
I left Spectres on my rogue because the main rogue, first in line for legendary, just decided not to raid if we were only doing 10M. 25s he'd show up for. Now while I'm greatful that I was able to start collecting shadowy gems, the 10M group often times would continue where the 25 would leave off later in the week to push progression. After a few weeks of 10s, me present, the other rogue absent, we went back to 25's; guess what the rogue showed up and kept getting his Shadowy Gems. Toons from a recent merger broke off again, and I decided to go with them. I get my shadowy gems, now at 157/333; we're 7/8 in DS.
I was hesitant to take the pally to Immer's guild because of the gearing history, they still wanted me to heal, blah blah blah. 45 seconds after thinking about it, I clicked confirm on the faction change screen.
TL:DR do what's going to make you happiest

Keep it in perspective. WoW is a game. Don't take it to the extreme where it adds stress to RL problems.
I log in to relieve stress, not add to it. |
