Hello, Ashelin,!
Welcome back to the game, not too sure if you’re interred in transferring or create a new character to give us a try. Thought I would at least try.
My name is Darkironclad, a Protection Warrior and Guild Leader of, Veterans of the Alliance. This guild was established September 9, 2020. Yes, the guild is recently new. I’ve journeyed through many realms, guilds, P.U.G.S., and all aspects of World of Warcraft. I’ve also experienced DPS from most classes, healed on all but one class, and tanked all but two Tank Classes. Monk and Demon Hunter. Through my years playing the game, most people I’ve ran into always state, “Play something that’s going to be fun to play”. I was in my late 20’s when I started playing World of Warcraft. Today, I’m in my early 40’s.
I consider myself an old school player and have decided to lead a guild through Midcore Raiding/Mythic+/Rated BG’s for Shadowlands, in the coming expansion. During MoP, Cataclysm, and WoD, I’ve led Rated Battlegrounds. Members have seen my passion in RBG’s and experienced it, when they were working along with me. Through the years, members have asked me to lead raids. I have never taken the opportunity to do that for them. Something that I’ve never even done for myself is obtain the best gear in the game. Ideas just started rolling in my head. The squirrel wheel moves the cobwebs from my thoughts and fears. It’s now time for me to take the stand, get back out there and have some good old school fun. It’s important for everyone to find class/spec, that is fun to play, because in the end you are the only person playing that specific character.
I’m currently recruiting serious players now for SL who can manage 21hrs online, each week practicing for Midcore Raiding, Mythic+ & RBG’s. That’s roughly 2-3hrs a day to do something together. May it be not a lot of time together but enough to manage what little time we would have, together. Now & until SL, we’re inviting players leveling to 50, who’re taking an opportunity & joining. Knowing our members & how they play is important. Everyone pulls their weight working together to get stuff done in a timely manner. We’re building a foundation to structure 36 specs. We would like to have 5 of each spec, from each class as MS, for Shadowlands. Making a difference within an old school guild is not how good our members are, but how members overcome challenges by collaborating & working together. There is nothing more important in a guild than with passion and the will to succeed.
As a Leader I am accountable. My team’s mistakes are my mistakes, because I am their leader. My Leadership, it’s not just about responsibility it’s about taking the next step to make things right. A lot of times when I’m forced to make a decision on a given strategy that I’m not too sure of, once I have enough evidence to suggest making that decision, I stick with it and do this with confidence. Strategies do not come with information books. My job as a leader isn’t always going to make the right decision, but it’s to make a decision in order to keep the team together. Wrong decisions can be fixed. However, a scattered team is restless for disaster. As a Guild Leader I know I can’t do everything myself. I focus on the most difficult tasks and delegate the rest to Members and trust them to get the job done!
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. Watching Rated Arena Tournaments and Mythic Dungeon Internationals as an Esport, has inspired me to get into raiding. I remember watching one of the interviews with Ion Hazzikostas. An interviewer asked Ion Hazzikostas if raiding will ever become an Esport, in the future? I believe it may happen, though there is a lot that is at stake that goes into turning it into an Esport event. Not anytime soon, I’m sure. The thought of it caught my interest. Even if it does not happen, the fun of working together with players who seek the same level of passion as I do, guilds will take time to develop. I need players who would go the extra mile. As old school players, we play the game to interact with others and to play competitively. Our fun is gathering 20 people who’ll play hard to work together. The Best Reward To Have Is The Team We Create or Build!
I’d like to add a note. If you’re a casual player who would like to join our guild? We hope you join. We like members who contribute when they can. Our guild is small. As old school players, we have a game to play and we are always doing something. Rarely do we do anything by oneself. We would prefer to work with members and if there is anything they need to improve on their character, that is where we step into giving a helping hand. We don’t hold your hand and carry members around. If you are passionate to learn something about your class, we expect members to play hard, work with others in groups and do your very best that you can manage for your guild. We’re old school players with a positive attitude. Everyone starts somewhere.
