To the point: carrying others through the raid was kinda the point. Well, the secondary point. The primary point was to bring new members closer to being viable raiders on the front lines. After all, even the most experienced raiders have to have a FIRST time for every encounter. But the idea was, good raiders will continue to learn so suck it up, teach them well, and everything will be fine.<br /><br />Of course, that's because everyone on the team bought into those rules. Sure, some left, not interested in making the guild better overall, but for the most part we did well and had a group of people that genuinely enjoy and respect each other.<br /><br />Granted, I've never been part of guild that reached the Mythic raiding levels yours has, so there might be a kind of 'jock' mentality that us dirty casuals don't understand. Which is fine, I already have a job :)<br /><br />Hope it smooths out. People do get cranky in between expansions, don't they?Grimmtoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14384688484347073287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-34174017746262748322016-05-07T23:02:40.742+10:002016-05-07T23:02:40.742+10:00I think the environment you provide in Frostwolves...I think the environment you provide in Frostwolves definitely has an influence on people's behaviour outside of guild/game. Yes, people do have a stronger sense of self on their own, but morals and behaviour is shaped by the sum of one's social environments. So, if the guild is the only environment where someone is expected to be tolerant and accepting, and their other environments don't, then yeah you probably aren't going to see much change.<br /><br />But the fact that you have such an environment means that you expose people to those values. The more leaders and groups who provide such spaces, the more people will be influenced, and it will start some positive feedback loops. So, it is definitely not the case that your hard work is all gone the minute they step out of the game!<br /><br />Keep the faith, Navi! It is good work.Dahakhahttp://starfiredbeef.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
