I have a guild on the Vashj server on World of Warcraft and it has been a pain to get members. The guild is brand new so it is only level 1 and has under 10 members and I am in danger of losing those.
The guild premise is to have a group grounded in respect for each other and that I think is the major sticking point since many people act out their frustrations via online anonymity. They want to vent their frustrations by using the anonymity of the net as a way to avoid the penalty for behaving in such a manner that would otherwise get them into trouble.
Pray for my guild that it gains memberships and progresses into a decent high level guild with plenty of opportunity for all. If you aren't the praying type then wish me luck, I also believe in luck and wishes.
This is the guild recruitment macro I use and I hope to have 30 members by Sunday. . .
" is a leveling guild who's watchword is Respect. We are small but growing fast. 4 bank tabs, starting funds, voice chat, and people who will treat you well. Msg for invite."
Second macro is:
" is a lvl 1 guild with 4 bank tabs, repairs, starter funds, and a fellowship based on Respect. Respond for an invite. Join us for a mature game experience."
So you can see where I run into trouble. . . Everyone will think that there is no fun in being a member rather than a fun atmosphere that is civil as well. The upside is that is the few members I have are decent people who make the game enjoyable.
Any thoughts as to how to proceed? Should I just invite anyone and weed them out or should I continue along the very slow but sure method. I'm leaning towards the latter but I am tempted to switch gears and sort the wheat from the chaff.
