  • This is going to be a video where a lot of people will probably get mad. Keep in mind that the information that I'm putting out there can be used to also prevent poaching from your own guild if used correctly. This is another long video so I really just edited footage in for background so it's not just me but I don't really expect anyone to actually watch me run heroics for a half hour :P

    Make a video on "how to start raiding" I feel like your insight and speaking style would help the scrublife n00blords who want to try and play with the big boys.

      Riggnaros has a video out explaining just this:
      Riggnaros - Good Talk
      Not to discredit my boy Asmongold, but this video could be another source of information for you! I hope this helps!
      And I look forward to seeing Asmongold's take to this as well!

    • @Holymaneli
      @Holymaneli 9 лет назад

      Andy McWhinnie Not trying to be rude or anything, but if Delltah wanted Riggnaros' input on the subject he would go to his channel. Plus, don't link other youtubers' videos on other ppl's channels. It's just rude.

      I have a setting that puts video links in a spam folder, I allowed this one because it's an informative video from the raid leader of one of the best guilds in the world.
      Just because it's not my content doesn't mean that it's not helpful, but yeah I get a lot of people trying to advertise their videos on comments on my page, but this isn't one of those times :D

    A few weeks after joining the guild i am now, they choosed me as raid leader (when we started raiding) some time after, the guild master had to leave the guild for personal reasons, and it seems like everyone above me on the hierarchy had some problems (the brother of one of ther slipped juice in his pc) and, since then, i kinda turned into a guild master, but withount any experience or idea of what to do.
    These videos of yours have benn helping me a lot, even that a i don't follow them strictly, they help me to see what i am suposed to be thinking about.
    (This one is especially useful, since i am into a girl who has a boyfriend.)

    I use to be the cross server poacher for my guild. Would spend hours looking through trash guilds that were 1-3/whatever mythic and would sweet talk these people to transfer. I love poaching, I love hearing guilds cry that you're a poacher, and i love taking good players because I want a raid environment. If you think you're going to have a successful guild from spamming trade chat you're doing it wrong. Also if you cry that people are poachers, enhance your raiding environment. Almost any good player will leave if the raid environment is shitty friends with raid lead or not.

    Back when throne of thunder released, I was an officer in a guild that decided to merge with another one, so we could take raiding a bit more seriously. We weren't so bad, we were progressing on lei-shen heroic and we were very close to the kill, but after the merge, everything fell apart. Long story short, key members vanished or transferred to other realms, or simply quit.
    I'd like to see a video from you about things you need to take under consideration when you are trying to merge two guilds, or two raiding teams in general.

    It's not a bad thing to steal players, I work in the Aerospace industry and people are always being hired/fired and moved around all the time. It's a competitive industry and we look for good people to hire. Same as a guild, if you want good people your'e going to have to steal them from other companies

  • @KarmickDK
    @KarmickDK 9 лет назад +1

    My guild is currently a feeder guild on a low pop server. The highest progression on our realm is currently 6/7M, 7/10M, and our guild is 1/7M, 10/10H, with 9/10H on one shots. Recruitment is our biggest issue, as some of our raiders are not skilled enough for mythic, and even with those players, we only have about 13 consistent players. How can we advertise ourselves as a good guild, and recruit players who are at that mythic level of raiding?

    Any way you could make a video as a Raid Leader about dealing with issues in guilds to try to put out fires? You mentioned people wanting to change guilds with Paragons as an example. I really like your commentary videos and I feel allot of raid leaders have no idea how to quell fires in guild I.E drama, people leaving, stuck on bosses, etc.

    • @asmongold1341
      @asmongold1341  9 лет назад +1

    • @HipsterVegeta

      That's true, I guess it was more geared towards a halt in progression or getting caught up on one boss for too long.

  • @The1rust
    @The1rust 9 лет назад

    Make a video about how you handle players who move on to better guilds but want to use your guild as their doghouse for alts. Also, someone who alt raids in your guild as well as raids in another guild on the same level and whether or not they should be given some kind of inclusion in to the roster while sitting some of your core group out.

    • @asmongold1341
      @asmongold1341  9 лет назад

      As long as they are contributing to the raid team in the same way that a normal raider would, there should be no problems.

  • @xclonecommander
    @xclonecommander Год назад

    Can definitely say I've seen guild poaching and to some extent been poached in a game once. Didn't really think about it and got to play on their team before I joined so as much as it's bad for raid leaders it's some form of competition for good players. Poaching isn't bad if it means a player gets out of a toxic guild or a guild that doesn't fit how hardcore/casual they are. Ideally everyone would join the guild that fits them best and a guild should try to find members that fit them well. If you poach people to use them to benefit your inner circle only in the guild then it's just bad for the game. If a guild has a very tight clique that's closed off from the new players then a guild with a smaller clique or a clique that's more open to the rest of the guild would likely be an improvement.

      I'd kick them both out and cut my losses, when one person receives special treatment, the rest of the guild will either expect that special treatment also or become discontent because of it.

    Actively trying to break competing guilds and stealing players from them, lying to your players and not treating them with the respect they deserve.. What the hell, why would you want to make the raiding scene around you such a hostile place? What has happened to enjoying the game and genuinely enjoying good company instead of treating other players as simply means to an end?

    • @johnroush1099
      @johnroush1099 9 лет назад

      CPUzer0 I disagree. I'm a very moralistic, person, but I don't think trying to recruit members of other guilds is a bad thing. They wouldn't leave the guild if they weren't already unhappy, right? As long as you're not manipulating them by telling them their guild leader thinks they suck, etc. then I don't see the harm in it.
      This is a video that shows people how to take a self-interest without causing unnecessary damage to other people.

    This is depressing tbh, people attitude and way of thinking.
    Imagine meeting Asmon in game, in dungeon or whenever, he would constantly try to fuck you over on milion ways.
    He praises a lot Vanilla WoW in his vids, but his attitude is so WoD.
    HeelsVsBabyface and Nobbel ftw on youtube atm.
    Cheers

    ppl talking about him "stealing players"... you realize those are people who decide for themselves, not a property of their current guild, right? smh
