Since the beginning of World of Warcraft, I have wanted to raid. I have been joining guilds and waiting and never being put on the roster to raid. So I then join another Guild.
I have been on 3 servers and not one have a found my place to raid. Most times this why I wish everything were que able over needing to be in a guild. This is not get good nor is another I hate raiding post. I just want to really progress in wow.
At least last expansion pugging were easy. I did some of that.
You don’t wait to raid if that group has a spot for you when you apply. If you are applying to groups that have full rosters yes you will wait often you will not go on the prog day and go on the farm day to see how you do. These are mythic guilds obv if its a heroic/normal guild as flex, unless they cant field enough healers but than would be the same mabye not take you on the prog fights but the night farm night you should be expecting time in raid.
If joining a good group make sure to have logs so the raid lead can see how you preform if you preform well you will get in and quickly if your someone that can only do 1000 dps in ilvl 200 gear well there is a reason there not taking you to raids and only have to to fill up the guild as a social.
You should be doing keys outside of raid time also esp with the officers if not raider to show them how good you are to further make them want to take you.
Really you should be asking your raid leader what day will you be getting trialed as they will give you the best answer.
Thou ill be honest based on your hunter posted on (should be posting on your main if you want to know why your not doing x), if you where in my raid group you would not be raiding either. You have not done your m0s to get the basic ilvl to show your even trying, are not doing key runs with 0 keys ran. As a raider having 0 keys is insulting the raid group as a whole and your fellow raiders. Why should you be taken if your not going to even do 1 key to get the better loot at the end of the week. While not putting the 2 hours to do a world tour to get basic m0 gear. Esp if your not raiding you obv have the time. If you where a raider on the bench you should be in the discord still hearing what’s going on and doing productive things as you wait to be swaped in eg joining a m0 pug. Your missing enchants to thou at least you got a few.
If you want to raid putting in effort is required. From what I can see you are not likly to have put in the effort to look up fights or learn your class if you haven’t even bothered to do basic gearing.
Lol, no one talks in my guild or posts anything. How do expect me to do group content when there are none to group with?
edit: To get to the thing about the enchants I just received the gear 9 am today. Don’t expect me to have enchants waiting for the gear right away.
Seems to me you’re just joining random guilds instead of actually putting some effort to know what guild you’re joining and what they do or who they are.
bingo. if you want to raid, your best bet is to seek out and join a raiding guild. not all guilds raid (especially not the ones that spam invites or adverties in /2) so if you just join a random guild and then wait for a raid invite, you’re probably going to be disappointed.
If no one dose anything than the guild is not raiding and as such not a raiding guild. You don’t go to a day care and expect to get a masters degree or even a high school diploma. If you don’t join a guild that raids obv you will not raid.
As for doing group content without your guild that’s easy it’s calling pugging. M0 and key pugs are not only normal to do even when in raid guilds but expected. I quite often tell guild I’m going to do a new keys might get 0-4 that are in with me than we pug the rest. That means joining a group of only 1-2 of us and filling the slots if more. People not on in your guild is not a excuse to not be doing group content. Your guild is only a aid to group content mainly for raiding if a raiding guild. You atill should be and are expected to pug into key groups to further yourself as you are able. The fact you have not a single key done at all is showing you don’t do even the min.
Yes I do and guilds will also expect you to have enchants right away. Getting a new item means enchanting and having that item up to par ASAP to be ready. Not doing so makes you look worse when looking for a guild so will result in being in worse guilds and in turn not raiding.
OP, trials have to raid so we can trial them. i’m not sure what guilds you’ve been joining…
It does sound like you’ve been joining dead and “social” guilds instead of raising guilds.
Is your had actually joined a raiding guild as a raider you should have at least had a conversation with an officer about raid nights and times.
It sounds like you have been joining the wrong guilds. Don’t just join any guild that advertises in trade chat; if they’re willing to toss you an invite immediately without some kind of application or vetting process, that guild is probably not worth joining in terms of doing any kind of progression content.
Instead, go to your realm forum, or the Guild Recruitment forum, and look for:
That may sound like a lot of criteria, but it’s usually not too hard to find a guild that meets all of them. My point is that you do have to actually do some searching, because if the guild fails on any of these points, it’s not going to work for you.
So you do this, and you find a guild that you want to join, so you contact them (through whatever method they say to use: contact an officer in-game, or apply through their website, or talk on Discord, or whatever). Then the guild will also want to know why they should recruit you over any other random hunter, which is partly a question of social fit, and partly a question of showing that you’ll pull your own weight - such as by putting in the time to gear yourself up in dungeons, enchant your gear, etc. Yes, your guild will often run dungeons with you too, but even in a big and active guild, you’re probably going to have to PuG small group content some of the time.
It’s also worth noting that you can scan over guilds on your server, ordered by current progression, on wowprogress.com. That site also supports guilds putting in a description (often including raid times and recruiting officer contacts) and setting what they are recruiting. Not all guilds update it regularly, but it can still serve to help you find guilds that are running raids at a content level that matches what you’re looking for.
Thanks ya’all. I appreciate the support. I’m going bookmark this forum so can share with my battle buddies from war.
