Please bump this - Recruitment Related

[Ríoghnach-kelthuzad (Ríoghnach)]

Blizz you’re out of touch with the community and should take this feedback seriously. I find it incredibly triggering that I cannot bump my own recruitment post anymore.

Please separate out players from guilds, and implementing a class search function for guilds/teams that are looking for specific things would go a long way.

@Sierra love your discord thanks for all you do to support our community.

YES it’s so annoying to have to change characters to bring it back to the top.

I agree, come on Blizz. People play this game for the content yes but without guilds it would be boring. You need guilds, guilds need you. Start acting like it and help us find people. Help your players find friends that they can play with for years to come.

Recruitment is just kinda depressing atm regardless.

[Ohlookashiny-silvermoon (Ohlookashiny)]

This would make things so much easier

At least some servers/guilds have you to pick up where Blizzard is completely lacking.

It’s a forum. Creating a new subforum would take all of 10 minutes to implement correctly given proper database engineers, which I’m sure they have.

Just keep this going, its bound to gain some traction with them eventually.

Helping to keep this awesome idea going! Seriously hope Blizzard listens to this idea, it is amazing!

Let’s split this! Please! <3

Why isn’t this a thing yet?

@Midgette-stormrage

With the premise that general discussion and things like Guild Recruitment have different expectations and needs. Do these limitations impact a guild or player from sharing information with others? How do you envision us getting our information to the player base or a player looking for a guild to do the same. Does it help the flow of ‘new posts’ to have all the recruitment posts in the discussion posts? That is a specific topic that when I come to the forums unless I am looking for a guild or as a guild looking for a player I wouldn’t necessarily want to see in the ‘latest posts’ thread. Is it something that should be separate?

Agreed

Every week more and more guilds close - when those guilds close there are only so many open opportunities for those players to find guilds. Not to mention every time a guild closes I’d bet at least one person takes a break from the game due to the tedious process of finding a new guild.

Another category for guilds and players on the forums would help guilds find recruits easier and help players find guilds easier. It makes sense!

You’ll probably help keep some raiders subbed longer which will pay for however much it’ll cost you to implement the change.

This blizz. make it easier for us to play the game. Make it easier for people to find their matches and make quality raid teams.

[Cbegsdh-bleeding-hollow (Cbegsdh)]

This is a good idea.

2nded, one of the few logical choices that blizz hasn’t made yet.

I think this is really the part that matters. Happy people with connections keep playing. = ) Guilds help find people the connections and communities they are craving.

let’s keep this on top!

How would we make the recruitment forums more functional for us?

Here are some ideas I have.

1. Separate the ‘new posts’ for recruitment from the general forum topics. Either as a filter that can default to recruitment being off for the regular forums or remove it entirely from the regular forum new posts view and only be able to see the new topics/posts from the recruitment subsection.

2. Allow ‘bumping of posts’. Give recruiters and players a way to let people they know they are still looking. Have a reasonable criteria vs. never being allowed to bump a post. This characteristically has not be enforced on the old forums which is appreciated.

3. Automatically allow, regardless of trust level, the ability to post links to common community sites that are used in recruiting. (Wowprogress, Warcraftlogs, RaiderI.O)

4. Provide separate sub-sections for Guilds looking for Raiders/Members and Raiders/Members looking for guild.

Those coming to the forums looking for a guild or as a guild looking for more players, have different needs. I am sure I haven’t covered all of the ideas, does anybody else have some that I didn’t list?

[Pandapriest-turalyon (Pandapriest)]

As a person that has dedicated a large portion of my wow game time to recruiting I would love to see these changes come to fruition.

[Stariela-proudmoore (Stariela)]

Bumping again for an amazing idea! The forums really NEED this change!
