The downside I see to the new LFD system is that now people seem much more likely to just jump right into 'The System' without even bothering to try to put together a guild group. As someone who doesn't like pugging and likes to see guild solidarity, I see this as a problem, though not a huge one yet.jeffohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708074863929831135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-457872344128932582009-12-30T06:33:55.545-06:002009-12-30T06:33:55.545-06:00Not at all.

And maybe those friends would later join your guild so... Well I think I just ranted my way to agreeing, that indirectly it might become more trial based to join a new guild because of the dungeon tool.Dwismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332850111235993334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-66171492989310897472009-12-30T02:55:21.875-06:002009-12-30T02:55:21.875-06:00I guess it depends what your guild is for.
If you...I guess it depends what your guild is for.<br /><br />If you want to do a lot of 5 mans at odd times then the new system seems to really support that. Grab whoever is interested and round out with pugs. That may make being in a guild less frustrating. (I've certainly been in raid guilds where none of our tanks need or want heroics which is frustrating).<br /><br />For raiding it doesn't seem that it should make much difference. You need a guild to raid for fights of any complexity because the voice chat in WoW is unused/useless and most Vent owners aren't happy with 20 different randoms turning up each night.<br /><br />I can see that not being so likely to play with people first might hurt retention but the fact that people can self-gear to t9 without guild help is huge.<br /><br />If we see cross-server raids then it may hurt guilds. Frankly I'd rather join random raids than commit to a guild if I thought they could regularly beat the bosses.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-12943386465818260742009-12-29T23:43:30.923-06:002009-12-29T23:43:30.923-06:00@G-Rebel: I have to admit, this is something about...@G-Rebel: I have to admit, this is something about which I can do little more than blindly speculate. Maybe Blizzard could track guild invites/leaves/kicks and time in guild and compare. But I doubt they employ many virtual sociologists.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-33012211670066846092009-12-29T10:55:05.403-06:002009-12-29T10:55:05.403-06:00I suppose it's possible, but it may be tough t...I suppose it's possible, but it may be tough to prove the strength of the correlation.<br /><br />Certainly the ability to obtain better gear significantly faster may make one more desireable to other guild who are recruiting heavily, thereby luring people away from their previous guild.<br /><br />I've seen it with 3 people in my guild in the last month, so maybe it's more prevalent than I think.G-Rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643815147549753677noreply@blogger.com
