I am trying to return to mythic raiding this expansion. This expansion I have had least amount of interest from guilds in literally expansions. It used to be if I posted I would have 20+ guilds trying to recruit me by the next day.
I have had posts up in multiple spots Discords, Forums, other sites like IO and overall I think I’ve had less then two guilds show interest. Overall they didn’t quite meet the criteria I was looking for. Ive had my post up and bumped for over a week now. I dont know if raiding is severely dead or if I’m on most over populated class ever or if people just dont value past experience anymore.
Its honestly kind of crazy. It feels like I’m going to have to pug raid lead AOTC just to find a half decent guild.
What has everyone else’s experience been? Does it feel different this time around? Does finding a guild feel awful?

As a recruiter for a guild, I’ve had a crap ton of good times finding people to raid since they opened cross realm. My guild went from 1 main raid and 1 alt to 3 main raids and 1 alt, where we have almost 40 people setup to raid come Tuesday and 50 people across the first week. I’m doing good! lol
where are you looking? are they reaching out to you? Ive made posts on Raider io, Recruitment discord, WoW forums. Last expansion I literally got 30 guilds every time i posted over couple days. This expansion I get one to two when I post. Usually they dont fall within my criteria which are not out of the normal for mythic raiding.
I did swap from healer to dps. Maybe this is the normal for dps. Or maybe no one needs shaman’s and dk’s… i just dont know whats wrong…
I’m using Guilds of WoW and the forums here. I’ve had some applicants but almost everyone I’ve gotten recently has been me reaching out to them. However, it might be your timing - A lot of guilds found people for their teams prior to launch. That is when I did a lot of recruiting for my guild. I needed additional people so I kept going recently.

Cool, Ive never seen that website before. Ill try posting there too.
As the recruiter/gm for my guild, everyone is rerolling shaman after the update/buff they received. Im going into tuesday with at least 5 of the roster hoping for spots for mythic. I dont know if this helps much but thats at least what ive seen
it does, Yeah i always try swap to things i think will be good in M+ as thats may favorite content. Ive noticed a ton of shamans and DK’s looking for mythic raiding.
It may just be i have to raid lead myself AOTC so that i can stick out over all rerollers.
Yeah, my wife and I play together as tank/healer, it’s been better but the roles aren’t exactly the most available by this point.
Tank is always a hard one … Either you have your 2 tanks or you have no tanks lol
Exactly, hard to find a guild with just one lol, thinking about going with a start-up.
You are welcome to join my guild and create a raid team with us =D
depends on your goals. I’m looking to be fairly competitive this season. My goals will be AOTC completion week one. If I dont find raid team ill probably raid lead pugs to achieve it.
I am wanting to get on mythic team as soon as possible.
Im wanting to do 2days a week after first couple weeks. 8-10hours a day. Weekday evenings.

You would be leading your own raid … your goals would be your own … lol we have 4 raid teams in guild right now - Tuesday, which is AotC only with reclear, T/W, which is AotC into mythic prog, W/F, which is AotC into Mythic prog, and Saturday, which is AotC for drunks, people who can’t commit to a firm schedule, and people wanting to take it slow.
Oh yeah… I appreciate the offer thats more then i want to do these days. I dont mind helping people in raids but raid leading is not the road i want to go down anymore.
Recruiting is my least favorite part of the game. Raid leading is not my fav but its a means to an end.
Using the recruitment discord has been pretty bad for me too so far. I posted I was mostly looking for a guild to run keys with, late night during the weekdays as I don’t get home until 1015pm or so.
Got probably 10 responses that was some guilds raid schedule that I couldn’t make.
A few responses from new guilds gm’d by people that only have the first aotc from multiple expansions so I’m assuming they play get bored and quit.
A few responses from guilds that don’t really seem to run keys. I’m not great but I made 3k every season on a character, and was active helping my guilds. Kind of wanted folks who played more then ksm or portals.
Dragonflight when I posted I would get lots of relevant responses, but I’m hoping it’s just because it’s preseason and maybe not as active.

Thats exactly how ive felt so far… Yeah it sounds like you and I want similar things besides the scheduling.
When all else fails, I look to the WoW Made Easy Discord myself. People run all hours of the day and night and all types of content at all levels. That’s just one option though. Raids at all different hours, days, M+ content at whichever level. I just like the feeling of having a guild and a more established “spot” but it’s been hard to come by.

Im sorry you’re not having the best of time finding a mythic raiding guild. I would suggest Guilds of WoW. There’s also a Guilds & Recruitment Community Discord you should check out.
I wish you luck! Good luck and have fun in the upcoming raid tier!
This expansion is a weird one, same kind of deal, only getting return contacts from guilds with 3 people or 300. Nothing actually workable.
