He does very much play this game still. Just looking up his guild would have told you that both he and his guild are still going very strong.

Regulators - Good Movie and they are about to do a third rendition of it.
Odd that the one in the post is shown as a lvl 120 that hasnāt been played since the level squish. Is that a forum glitch or what?

The one that was quoted is no longer on the same server, based on the link Evilira posted that poster and their guild server transferred, with the character and guild name being the same but on a different server (original post made when they were on Hyjal, and now on Malfurion). Hence the original post that was being quoted is correctly showing a character hasnāt logged in (the showing as level 120 with the blank portrait), since the character isnāt on the server the forum character links to anymore.

i highly suspect discourse took away the ability to extend a thread to 20k. it was in a stealth update. thatās why every thread suddenly got closed past the new 5k cap.

Well thereās two truths at least to point out.
First blizzard has not really cared for guilds for a very very long time - I felt the most energy they expended on guilds was when they gave them ranks and then went that didnāt please people they said āok well we are done thenā
Secondly most guilds in existence literally across all realms are hot trash. They are mostly created from players that just want to be the boss of something and they have no clue what they are doing.
Iāve played wow nearly 20 years both factions Iāve had characters over those years on probably 20 different realms. Iāve joined dozens of guilds . My feedback is my opinion of course but itās pulled from experience. Social guilds that donāt talk arenāt helpful (fyi I offered the help more than asked for it btw) , raiding guilds might have some validity but they arenāt really needed anymore with communities discord friends lists etc .
So my philosophy is if a guild offers nothing to benefit your gameā¦ why does that guild exist? Why do āyouā stay in it?

I stay in āmyā guild because it was the very first guild I ever joined. We had some great times. But personal problems split up the guild leaders. The one who inherited the guild (who also recruited me) has lots of health problems. The guild slowly died. Then, I think, the guild leader actually died. She hasnāt logged on in years, and the guild used to be her pride and joy. One day I logged in and was guild leader with no notice. (The original leader had not logged in to promote me, and I had no message from Blizz saying I could take over if I wanted. I was just in charge of a dead guild.)
So, in memory of my old guild leader, I stay in my guild.

Still trying to keep the conversation going.
I decided I had to quote this one because I miss Ythisens. He made me feel like someone at Blizzard cared. Of course, then they fired him.

However , I cant seem to get my old horde guild to allow officers to change the greeting of the day for example and I donāt know why. The paragraph has no checkmarks and I have no interaction with that page?

Still here, still waiting.

Huh. That seems odd. You should be able to check the āIs Officerā box and that will give officers all the listed permissions.
Now, if you want to give an officer just the permission to change the greeting but not all the other permissions, youāre out of luck. Thatās exactly what this thread is about. Itās an all-or-nothing option. You canāt split the different permissions up between different officers.

I highly disagree. Iāve rarely ever run into a bad guild.
Anecdotal, just as mine is within the same timeframe.
That doesnāt much have anything to do with the guild permissions, thoughā¦ does it?

It kind of depends on your definition of ābad guild.ā I think it usually comes down to more of a ābad fitā than a bad guild. My guild had a rule about certain language in guild chat or during guild events. Some people might think that was too ācontrollingā and thus it was a ābad guild.ā But they were really just a bad fit for the guild.
But I 100% agree that guilds are NOT :
There may be some guilds like that, but in my experience, most guild leaders want help running their guilds. Which is precisely why we want granular permissions. We want to be able to spread out the tasks and not have anyone feel they are responsible for more than they can handle.

Iāve been kind of busy, and posting on the forums is on the bottom of my to-do list. Actually, itās scrawled on the back, under a grease stain.
Iām not expecting theyāll have any of the guild changes available in the beta, but if anyone has access, perhaps they could give it a look. Also, is there going to be a pre-patch? Theyāve announced the expansion launch for August 26. I expect the guild changes before that.

Iām enjoying the Pandaria remix. Not so much enjoying the lack of guild permissions.
Still holding out hope weāll see them fixed with the promised guild updates.

I do hope that the guild updates include a restoration of the granular guild controls.

Gah! All my free time is taken up with the Pandaria remix. Iāve no time to come here and post about the guild permissions. THIS WAS BLIZZARDāS PLAN ALL ALONG! Distraction to make us forget.
Well, I wonāt forgetāno matter how many glowy gold balls you hang in front of me.
Blizz, if granular guild controls arenāt included in the update, you might as well not have bothered āupdatingā guilds at all.

Agreed. But none of this seems to be on their radar at all. And Iāve heard nothing from beta about it, either.
All these years and it seems as if theyāre trying to kill the guilds, instead of helping them.
