Discussion for Returning/ new players who want to clear content

Hey everyone! I have recently returned to the game with some friends with the goal of clearing as much content / gearing up as much as possible without getting carried or buying it. I’d like to start a discussion and gauge interest with other players in a similar situation.

I have been looking for guilds over the past 3-4 weeks and I’ve run into a few scenarios.

  1. They are a mass recruit guild that clear Kara but has no real raid structure in place and no sense of community ( no chance they get into 25 mans)

  2. Wotlk prepping guilds that consider raiding right now a waste as wrath is around the corner. (Imo they will most likely hit wrath with no structure in place and will be super late to the game or fall apart)

  3. Small friends and family guilds that have 8-10 people but they don’t actively recruit so the chances of getting to 25 man is pretty unlikely.

All these guilds have had a few things in common. They all talk a big game about their pve plans but at the end of the day no one plays together. There is also no action to create connection and expand their player base. Also the drama. Soooo much unnecessary drama.

All this aside I have a few questions and also some ideas.

  1. Is it actually feasible to find 25 players that want to organically raid as far as we can before wrath launch? (I’d be super happy to have a group that made it to ssc and tk or even further if possible)

  2. Does anyone know of any existing guilds around right now that have similar goals?

  3. I’d like to keep this accessible to fresh 70s. Can a fresh 70 get some decent gear before wrath or is it a waste of time?

  4. I’ve heard lots of people say no one runs 5 mans anymore as it’s to late in the expac. Is anyone out there interested in farming the heroics in the evening with friends?

I have some ideas I’ve been mulling over in order to make this happen.

  1. Is to just start my own guild ( lots of work, and it may just get lost in the sea of other start ups)

  2. Keep up the search to join in on a pre existing community (I’ve been looking but no luck so far)

  3. Try to find a few other starter groups and we all come together in a bigger guild with a set goal and mission everyone is happy with. (Combine a few 10 man Kara teams and boom that’s a full roster)

I know there are lots of players coming back and wrath prepping as well as lots of players with fresh alts. I’d love to either join in with a group or find some like minded players and we can work together to create a community with similar goals!

Horde for life!
Thanks for reading. Feel free to message me on aspiring, aliive, or alivve at any time!

I don’t know too much about that side.
If you were alliance, I would say join my guild.

Browse warcraftlogs for guild rankings, and most do post recruitment needs there.
Or watch the server discord’s recruitment channel. It is how I found my guild. Grobbulus is the invite link.

Why not put aside raiding 15 year old content and instead get into rp. Grobbulus IS an rp server in case everyone’s forgotten. If you wanted to raid, you had the choice of almost literally every other server classic has to offer.

That’s only a few hours of the week.

I’m here for the server life the rest of the time.
And boy is it lively.

I definitely know people who make raiding their primary activity while playing. Multiple nights a week on multiple characters, and when they’re not raiding, theyre prepping for raids. Like, power to them for doing what they enjoy, but you could do that on any server, yknow? If you’re gonna join grob, at least partake in the uniqueness of the server rather than homogenising it to become the same as every other megaserver (i HATE that grob is a megaserver btw, layers suck major phallus)
