With method gone and dead who beta test raids for blizz now?

Curious if the next guild that test for them is as good as the now defunct method.

Method is only gone in name, they are still around

I think they became Echoes? Something with an E, whatever guild is #1 in SL with an E will be the Method players lol

Method isn’t gone, they reformed as Echo with almost the exact same roster. But a bunch of guilds test on the Beta.

Didn’t they re-form under a new guild? ^ Answered.

Wait what? Method is gone? What did I miss?

Go look there is enough information online if you take the time to search.

Some people are under the belief that because of some dudes sex crimes that the entire guild and all players in it will disappear from wow

Technically speaking, Method in name and brand are dead.

They reformed under a new name / brand, Echo, IIRC about 15 / 20 of the team are the old method players with a few extra to fill in the spaces.

Without going in too much, MethodJosh did some real bad stuff and Management tried to cover it up, when it came to light a lot of the players left under protest.

TLDR: Sex creep in Method was hitting on underaged girls. People found out that the leadership (both in guild and organizational) were actively protecting him, as well as some other (but not massively dissimilar) drama within the management of the organization.

Organization went kerblooey, and all the actual talent fled and either joined established orgs or made the new ones.

That’s the mildest I can put it.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a brand crash and burn so spectacularly.

I think Nathria will be a good way for Limit to prove that it was resources holding them back compared to Method, since Method are basically the same guild (minus Sco and a few others), while Limit is the current golden child of the raiding scene.

currently Limit and Pieces test raids, like they have for the past expansion or so.
Method also is still around, though I’m not sure in what state since their new GM got busted for trying to buy gold from Gallywix.

MethodJosh, who was an extremely skilled Discipline priest player, had a history of grooming several underage girls online to the point where there was even a police investigation ongoing as a result, and because of this misconduct he was completely banned from Twitch. The higher-ups of the Method organization attempted to sweep all this under the rug in a very elaborate manner; muting Josh in Discord while the RWF was being streamed, completely prohibiting his name from being mentioned anywhere on Twitch, and even hiding him away on a Chinese streaming website.

When further allegations with sufficient evidence came out rather recently, in tandem with a separate instance of sexual harassment of Swedish player and streamer AnnieFuchsia (who was at the time of the sexual harassment issue a member of the Method organization) by Method’s co-CEO Sascha Steffens, basically everyone under the Method banner jumped ship within 48 hours.

Two days after it all came out Method lost every single streamer, all its marketing folks, its high-end sponsors (Corsair, NordVPN, Wowhead, etc.), its professional players in all other eSports scenes Method had a stake in, and its entire top-level Mythic raid team. They all pulled out. The name “Method” was, and remains to this day, perpetually tainted by the actions of Josh, of Sascha, and of the higher-ups of the organization that attempted to sweep it all under the rug.

They just quit the guild not the game. :man_facepalming:

Is it really necessary to throw dirt again? I’m sure they have google.

That’s the mildest way I can put what Josh did.

“Sex creep” is a way nicer title than “groomer of underaged girls”.

Why did Method disband? Just over the Josh thing ? It’s crazy to me that people would hold an entire organization accountable for the actions of an individual.
