Is any other guild requiring all their raiders to flask for the first few weeks of AQ? Do note, that the guild I’m in isn’t even a top competing group, and we must bring a ton of other consumables along with said flask. Is asking everyone to drop 500g per a raid night reasonable, or am I losing it?
I’d argue it’s a little over the top, seeing as not every class can benefit from flasks as well as the others (Example, hunters, are they really going to benefit that much from extra resistance, health or mana?). Plus it’s damn pricey, and the skill required to raid is not the same as having the time to farm mats or gold for flasks.
Now, I absolutely DO think it’s reasonable to require elixirs, food, sharpening stones, mana oil, all the other consumables. These don’t take much time to acquire, or get the gold to do so. Or possibly just have everyone chip in to make sure the tanks and healers have what they need, as they’re kind of the nuts and bolts of the raid. But requiring everyone to flask is going to piss off the entire guild.

If you have all the items you need from available raids, / Gquit and tell others to do the same. Only the tanks really need it if that. Or tell them if u rly want to get your Sperg on, get your cc rep now and have the items u need for nr gear before the gates open
Hate to say this…but…your guild is about to split up/fall apart.
Just happened to my buddy on our server.
Guilds are moving into AQ40/Naxx—they will start giving out ultimatums to their members regarding flasks/consumes. Poaching/consolidation is about to start in the next couple phases.

Could you know just try the content before spending money for the extra edge. There are certain consumes that you should have based on your class to maximize your throughput for a reasonable amount. If all guilds start requiring them they will just become prohibitively expensive, probably even more than the people requiring you to have them are willing to pay.
We might flask our MT for a couple weeks while some gear gets farmed, but any raid that has been farming BWL since release should be able to clear it without too much trouble, gear wise. Mechanics wise? That depends if your guild works as a cohesive unit.
Consumes will not be required to clear AQ/Naxx.
I use full consumes in BWL for every raid, so im going to be doing the same for AQ and Naxx.
I just like to perform the best i can.
It will be a guild requirement for AQ and Naxx prolly for the first few weeks i assume tho.
No, it’s not going to be required for us. It’s going to be encouraged for those who can afford it, but if guild leadership doesn’t understand that some of your members who have been with you from the start simply can’t do that, it sounds like your guild leadership sucks.
That’s between you and your guild leadership.
Different guilds have different standards depending on what the guild’s goal is.
What’s ‘reasonable’ is partially contingent on that; and it differs based on who comprises the guild’s player base.
There is no ‘easy’ answer to your question.
