We have been working to recruit players. It has been slow going. We are raiding every week, making progress, and using PuGs. Our recruit post and recruit spam is the same as any other guild out there, and getting a response is almost impossible. So what do we do? We raid. We raid and we raid well.
People always want to be a part of something great. They want to be on the winning team or the superior side. So what we have done is exactly what we do best. We play the game, and we invite others to experience how we do it. Over the course of a week we have managed to impress enough people that we have a solid raid group. Some of them have joined our guild and some of them are staying where they are, but they like our raid and want to keep coming. They like our style, the way we operate, the way we succeed, the way we win.
So the goal now is to recruit those that haven't actually joined the guild, or replace them with people who will. Those that haven't yet joined the guild are aware of that. They know that when we recruit, their raid goes away. I have been honest and up-front about it with all of them, and they keep coming back. Are they riding the gravy train while it lasts? Maybe, but my guild is raiding and that brings more raiders. I still get the occasional prot paly that has no professions, is missing five enchants, and is using an AGI weapon that wants to come raid. Those people get politely declined. Mostly, though, I get raiders. Experienced players... 'salty', if you will. With our type of guild and those type of players success happens and that brings in more people. It is now only a matter of time until the raid is secure in it's 10 people and moving fast.
