Changes to the Stormrage Guild system

[Mirajj]

In keeping with the theme of people running away screaming, I will echo one of Pete's sentiments and suggest that if we get into too much bickering and head banging on Guild issues, we risk doing just that: inducing folks to run away screaming.

This is the point that I'm rapidly reaching, as I read this thread. I'll admit that I don't have the game yet, and I'm not likely to for a couple more months. I was tossing around the idea of this finally being the guild that I join. I have never been in a guild before, though I've had several invites. But then I see bickering like this, and wonder what's the point? If I really want to find someone online, I don't need a guild to do it, I can find them myself. I'll grant that a guild makes that a little easier, but if this is the kind of hassle that needs to be dealt with, I'm sure that in the end it works out to be easier to just search them down myself. I've watched a friend play WoW a couple of times, and there seems to be a couple of good systems for finding other players of a like mind/level.
