I got a little heated yesterday and I apologize for that. Non-Wow related stuff put me in a real shitty mood and I basically flipped out on Alyse. We talked it over and it's all good.
Now I understand the reasons people think that 10 mans are a better idea. However, as I said a 25 man simple feels like more of a raid. Who remembers how great it was in 40 mans when people in the same raid were doing a compeltely different job on the same boss fight. I feel it's much more satisfying when 25 people can work as a cohesive unit to bring a boss down. 10 mans are fun yes, and will probably progress better for the majority of players because its easier to coordinate. But the top guilds in the world are still 25 man. Do you know why that is? It's because as a guild, they work to ensure that all 25 of their raiders are strong players and work together. It's more difficult to achieve than it is in 10 man, but that's what makes the best guild in the worlds the best, and what makes their achievements more memorable and I want that to be what we aspire to. It's the responsibility of the officers and in fact everyone else to bring us to this point.
We could very easily grab our 10 strongest players and tear through 10 man content but I would not be satisfied with that as a guild. All respect to 10 man guilds, but I do not believe that clearing content as a 10 man says as much about a guild as it does in 25 man. They're talented players for sure, bu they don;t ahve to work to overcome the problems that 25 man guilds have. I want every raider to work together in a 25 man and clear content that way. I want people to look at WLPH and say that we're a great guild not just for clearing content, but also by the manner in which the guild conducts and manages itself. I definitly think we have that potential. We have strong players, and we've survived a shit ton more internal conflict than any other guilds on this server without question over the past years.
I'm not going to be so arrogant as to assume everyone wants the same thing as me, but if you do, please work to make this guild as great as it can be.
