Raiding

Do you prefer Personal Loot to the Group Loot mechanics when you're knee-deep in a dungeon or raid? Patch 6.2 is bringing some improvements.

When I left my progression raiding guild and settled down into my current 'raid when I can get to it' guild, I realized things had changed for me and World of Warcraft. It's not that I love the game any less -- after eleven years I think it's safe to say that WoW and I are officially a thing -- but I just finally lost my taste for what it takes to raid content at the highest level the game offers.

Sometimes as officers we have to make decisions that disappoint certain guild members. This week's OQ covers setting raiding standards for social raiders and the possibility of flexible mythic raids.

Is it okay to talk about a member's "dirty laundry" after they left? What about pugging progression bosses outside your guild's raids? What can you do if you think your officers promoted the wrong person? This week's OQ has the answers!

Raiding with your alt is not a right -- it's a privilege. Today's OQ covers finding the right amount of healers in a flexible raid, inviting co-workers to your guild, and disagreeing with officers over alt raiding.

You ask -- OQ answers. This week we have questions about saving a struggling community and recruiting for a slow-progressing guild.

I've been running a lot of retro raids for pets lately, and it's got me feeling nostalgic for the raids of old.

Hearthstone isn’t always (at least not for me) good fun… I’m not particularly good at it and never make it very far if I try to play competitively. Still, I enjoy tuning in to watch Matticus talk about it and, oddly, I had a lot of trouble turning away from this week’s not-quite-endless Hearthstone turn. There was just something about the soothing rhythm of the ongoing barrage of Arcane Missiles that was hard to look away from.

But now that that’s come to an end, we can get back to the business of answering Queue questions.

Every guild has its own distinct culture. Can you change that culture? And how can you protect it from new recruits? We discuss these questions and more in today's OQ!
