I'm all for "hard questions", but what kind of "hard questions"? I'm of the opinion that the only hard question that needs to be asked is along the lines of why does the nature/type of your guild make it a good guild.
At this point in the game, about the only thing a guild can do is present its goals, guidelines, structure, etc. A guild can defend the claim that they have the best guild based on their agenda, leadership, whatever, but what else can they say? There's no factual game experience, so to speak, that can be pointed to.
If you "prove" something to them and they just say "no that's wrong" then what's the point even? It turns into a cluster-fuck.
The Idea was to give new members and other community members a different way to look at guilds that's it, while always keeping a neutral position for myself. Neither was this meant to defame any guild or be a "Witch Hunt, nearly to let guilds state their goals while not letting some guilds talk like they are the greatest guild ever without having anything to back it up.
I want to make this also clear for the last time to certain jaded individuals, that I am not promoting myself or trying to push myself onto anyone one. All the Projects that I do are for the community and to put them into the spotlight because I do enjoy being part of it.
Furthermore, let me add this, right now I still feel this might be a good idea to do and none of the people that had the "need" to post against it gave me a real reason to doubt it. I might have to work on the format that's it. So thanks for the comments, the thoughts, the opinions the trolls and the pathetic attempt to get this post deleted by the mod. So have your cookie.
PS: I will ask the mods to take this post down by the end of the weekend.
The negativity here is apparently coming from a personal place and the fact that somebody doesn't like me has never stopped me from doing something I wanted to do.
However I'm also universally loved by all, so it's not much of an issue.
Ultimately, if you want to do this, then do it! You did ask for opinions and got them. If this is something you really want to do and the critical remarks haven't changed that, then honestly, fuck them and what they think.
Don't let your dreams remain dreams.
This is what I use to categories Guilds.
- Hardcore - Ultra competitive tries to be Ranked #1 often within the top 10 guilds. Very high demanding and high requirements to join. Often difficult for people to maintain life while meeting the rigerous demands of the guild.
- Progressive ( Competitive ) - Very competitive tries for high ranking tho not too die-hard. Tries to keep up with most end game content. Often has some sort of min requirements.
- Progressive-Family - Competent for some of the hardest end game content while maintain a friendly atmosphere, with the understanding that people have lives. Often these guilds can be in the top 20 because of high retention and friendlyness.
- Family>Progressive - People who are busy with work and family but still like to work towards end game content. People who like a casual guild but can still accomplish endgame content but not at the risk of job or time with the family.
- Family - Very casual and friendly often people that are very busy in RL and play when they can.
There are some nice places to go for guild info already which is pleasantly surprising at this stage of the game.Recruitment:
I think a Podcast with interviews would be awesome.
I would stick with the promotional part of guilds, for now, let guilds talk about themselves for now. Get people interested in the "glitz and glam" of it all.
Don't kick that hornets' nest.
@BCGiant is a good guy just trying to feed his AOC hunger. Shouldn't matter if it brings up salt or drama. AOC wants its community to be strong and what's going to bring us together is ripping it apart and getting to the dirt and grime of it all.
So I say do it!
The idea of interviewing different guilds is a pretty good idea, but it is personally something that I would wait doing, because the guild system and most aspects of the game haven't really been fleshed out yet. You could potentially ask them about their core ideas and theorycraft, but not much beyond that, which is sad.
I would of course watch it if you made a series, as your videos and streams are always top notch
I'm shocked the necro police aka @Lex let this post be revived
Who revived this post -.-
The Idea behind the project was, to allow everybody who want to pomote their guild!
But If someone would make the claim, that they would be the top guild and so on, like during the guild fair! I would turn around and ask them for proof and what they are basing a statement like this on. Thats it.
FOR THE PEOPLE OF VERA !
You need to ask yourself what have these guilds done in the last 12 months.
I think the video will get pretty boring cause you will get some good answer for like a few episodes and then the same over and over again cause there is still an nda.
But then again if you do it once a month this argument would be invalid pretty soon.
Next thing that you can think about is, are there any guild outside of NA? Like EU or OCE for example. This way you can hit a variety of viewers.
What I'm worried about is that the guild leader not want to speak about all there strategic moves, cause it can put them in a disadvantage. So the information can be limited.
I think Asking hard questions is also a good idea, just to hear the GM way of dealing with things, under pressure and shows viewers what they are getting themselves into.
