What to do about my guild? (Please, very worried now)

i started this game way back, i used to be an orc shaman. I loved the world of warcraft.

at first I didn’t really have much friends. I had two friends that I knew from my warcraft 3 days. One of them sadly was a human mage and so we couldn’t play together. The other one thankfully was a tauren warrior and we played so much together. Even though we couldn’t technically play with my mage friend we still used her as a spy so we know when cities will be empty. Oh, vanilla PVP do I miss you. It was so fun.

I still remember our first time questing in durotar, and our first time killing centaurs and such. He was my best friend, and will always be.

Around that time I started getting recognition since i was a pretty good shaman. We ended up building this really big clan, like the biggest one. We had 100s if not thousands of members. It was really awesome. It got to the point where I personally was in the world first deathwing kill. It was a rush.

Then around Mist of pandaria launch is when everything went to crap. my tauren friend died because of an irl fight gone wrong. My other friend stopped talking to me because she was sick of horde ganking her???. So I honestly didn’t want to do anything anymore. That’s not to say all things were bad. I met someone, we fell in love. So I figured the best thing for me is to just move on. I passed the guild’s leadership to this young guy. He seemed good enough, and his father was in the guild also before he also quit and his father gave everything he had to the guild so I figured he’d be great, you know?

So I give him leadership, and I just move on. I got married, had a child, believe it or not. Life was good. I moved to a new place as well, a fresh start.

Flashforward a year or to. The guild went to ****. The leader turned out to be so full of himself, arrogant, and so on. He kept whining and literally ordering the guild member to play pvp instead of pve. That’s all he wanted to do. It got to the point where he’d kick someone from the guild just cuz he didn’t like their race choice.

So someone from the guild comes to me and tells me this. Tells me the guild is falling apart. So I do that, and confront the guild’s leader. He tells me some crap about me not caring about the guild anymore and that I just gave it to whoever wanted it just because i didn’t care about it anymore. That’s not true at all.

So I managed to get rid of him. Get someone else to become the guild leader. I tried getting back into the game but I wasn’t as good as before. I was an enhancement shaman but for some reason after returning I just couldnt play it well. My guild had a couple of weapons ready for me but i just told them to give it away. I didnt care anymore.

I went back to my family, and now, years later someone tells me the guild leader that I put in charge has sadly died and someone else took charge of the guild and again, she keeps wanting to do nothing but PVP. They said she’s so crazy she’d tell them to occupy Darnassus every day. Many of the guild members didn’t enjoy PVP and just wanted to PVE but no, she wanted people to do what she says.

It really feels like this guild is cursed. Anyhow, I am going to go speak to her but I really would like some tips/help. If you can, please speak to me in game, my name is Thrall.

thank you for taking the time to read

edit: thank you for the advice Deydra

Make your own guild or find another one. That’s what you do about bad guilds. Simple solution for a simple problem.

As for the personal stuff? Sorry, can’t help ya.

It sounds like the problems you face are only electronic, meaning if you didn’t give it life here it wouldn’t have any meaning at all.

Move on my friend, there’s a common thread in your story here and that is things change, people die and real life needs to be held as the utmost importance, not the guild synergy or trying to recreate a special moment in time.

Even the Enhanced shammy you played, it changed too, I bet it wasn’t you that has a problem it might just be the mechanics of the toon and how it is now structured by Blizzard.

Its a huge non issue none the less.

Love your family and be happy its easy fix

I’m confused. You don’t play the game so why even worry about a guild in the game? It is not your concern any longer don’t bother making it one. You’re probably never going to come back to the game unless you’re playing it right now. I’m just really surprised that you’re still subbed/using the forum. Not sure if you’re paying for it or using wow tokens(I would hope).

I’m just being honest with you. This really isn’t anything you should “worry” about. You got far more important things to do in life.

im paying right now, I plan to talk to the guild leader and hopefully pass leadership down to someone else who hopefully can handle it. it seems this guild is just one tragedy after another though
If all goes well I think im going to pass it down to my tauren friends son. he was always a responsible kid

Maybe split into 2 guilds? Let the hard core PvPers follow their crazy leader and then the others can play in peace. You might have to hang around a while to get the new guild up and running though.

actually I think we might have enough support to do it. I was recently approached by an orc from when I used to be a part of my old guild. hes tried to convince me we should get the sane ones and split off / recreate it but I just don’t have the time or willpower anymore. this has crushed me

Might I suggest Zakhan. I think he would make a great guild leader.

Perhaps what your former guild needs is a basic campfire to gather around. I hear they can be very uplifting.

N.B. This was not a reference to my former home.
