      IRC Nickname: Maths Group: Ex-Member Posts: 1855 Member No.: 54 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 286    | Quite shocking tbh. Past couple of raids and a few events I have seen have a minimum amount of people attending. Here's some examples. Aussie tog pulled 2 ppl last week. Aussie tog pulled 4 ppl this week. Aussie raid pulled 7/8 ppl last week. American raid pulled 11 people. The uncensorship of 'WG' drop party pulled about 8? Castle wars pulled 4 ppl the other night. Euro raid attendance last week was only 17. Honestly guys, get active. For a memberlist of 80 people, this is quite shocking. I would be expecting at least 30-40% of the ml to attend the GMT raid, since its the most active timezone (24-32 ppl). That is not a big ask! The one week a minimum event per week really isn't enough. That is like a bare minimum, and should be done in times when you like have to study all week or something. I know school has started up and stuff, but honestly, pulling 10 ppl to raids just doesn't cut it. There's people wanting to learn how to pk, but honestly, half the time we don't have enough ppl turning up to raids to effectively pk. Have you not seen the 15 ppl that tele because we cannot kill them fast enough in fally? Have you not seen the big clans that rush us with 90+ ops? Have you not seen... Oh and another thing. Gear. Honestly its not that expensive. If I can afford like 50 sets, then I'm sure you can afford 5. I don't want to hear "I can't go p2p cause I don't have the gear". Oh and this.  Nty? Nty? How dare you. Seriously guys. Clean up the act. Start attending the raids and associated training sessions. --------------------  "Journeys are what brings us happiness, Not the destination." ~ Two time ex-raid leader of wg ~  | ||||||

If you think i'm joking dude, just try me. How about instead of posting on topics, you attend a raid once in a while? Then you might actually see whats so wrong about our raids. -------------------- "Journeys are what brings us happiness, Not the destination." ~ Two time ex-raid leader of wg ~ | ||||||

If we keep getting these fail turnouts, then we should get a rename. We hardly pk properly and we're named The Wilderness Guardians. -------------------- MSN: [email protected] IRC: Rage|Mike at SwiftIRC and SeersIRC Drop me a comment, click to view my RSC profile!

 IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | Last night it was 1 AM and I was preparing to go to bed when Glenn came on IRC talking about a group at BH that he wanted to get a team together and kill in PvP. I was like "Oh hey! I want to go help them because maybe I can be a benefit." So after I get ready and hop and everything (After I take a picture asking them to critique my equipment), they leave and I am about to teleport in with them. I get there, find Brandon, and survive for a minute or two against a godsword, range, and another random guy attacking me. I died and here is what I wore:  After I died I had people asking if I wanted them to give my anything, saying sorry about me dying, and then Brandon comes on TS and says that he killed one of them and asked if I wanted any items. I declined, because it was all for my clan. I don't need a reinbursment for the short lived fun that I had. I believe 1colonel1 basically went through the same thing that I did too. Do you know what I lost? About 150k worth of stuff. But I really don't care. It is for my clan that I should be dedicated to, and I am. Yes it was P2P, yes I went in risking about 1.6m total. If only more people followed this same theory and state of mind. I would like to say that I am sorry for not attending the Aussie ToG though. Because of this little rush to BH, the ToG was delayed 30 minutes or so, and by that time I really needed to get to bed. I had to wake up early this morning, and will not be going to sleep till around 3 AM tonight. So sleep was necessary for me. I would have attended if my rest was not crucial. --------------------      | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: Trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls Group: Banned Posts: 2956 Member No.: 422 Joined: April 4, 2008 Total Events Attended: 130 | Very very strong support for this. People really need to get their act together. I see 10-15 people to Raids, on a memberlist of five or six times that, and it really does disappoint me. I seriously think that some form of activity check needs to be made as far as events go. Having the event attendance bar is all well and good, but it doesn't help show when someone stops being active. People can stock up loads of events and then go inactive for a month or two, and be fine. Some form of activity check needs to be made. I also hope that the recruitment Elias has planned will help us inject new blood into the system, and help make the turnouts a heck of a lot more impressive than the ones we are pulling now. ~Mugger84 -------------------- Mugger84 Member Of WG Since 4th April 2008.

Damn Maffs, where have I heard that before  .Anyway, I agree with everything you said, and I'm sure this post will have an affect, as it did with me. Make sure you come to Raids & Events guys, even when you're not on the IRC/Msn, Check by the Events Forum and know the Event is at that time on that day. Then go to the event, because you will make a difference. ~Abs --------------------  "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

But that is nothing compared to the "I dont have to raid i'm to cool for wg" members - i just love those. -------------------- | ||||||
