Officers' Quarters: 5 tips for guild recruiting in a post-Cataclysm world
Every Monday, Scott Andrews contributes Officers' Quarters, a column about the ins and outs of guild leadership. He is the author of The Guild Leader's Handbook, available now from No Starch Press. Last week, we talked about why officers are burning out so early in the expansion. Many of the same factors have burned out average raiders and PvPers, also, leaving gaping holes in our rosters. In the current environment, recruiting can be extremely difficult. I've received quite a few emails lately asking for tips. Here's my best advice. 1. Don't be intimidated by guild level and achievements. So you just started a guild, or your guild hasn't kept pace with leveling since the expansion went live. Those perks are awesome, and no one will join unless you have them, right? Wrong -- players care a lot more about the type of community they're joining and the sorts of members that inhabit your roster. They care more about whether or not your schedule meshes with theirs. And they care more about having fun than 10% more justice points or faster mount speed. Well, maybe I'm generalizing a bit and not everyone feels that way, but honestly, do you even want a player on your roster who cares more about those things than the quality of the guild? Don't fill your roster with random players just to level faster. You'll only hurt the community in the long run.Continue reading Officers' Quarters: 5 tips for guild recruiting in a post-Cataclysm world Filed under: Officers' Quarters (Guild Leadership) Officers' Quarters: 5 tips for guild recruiting in a post-Cataclysm world originally appeared on WoW Insider on Mon, 28 Mar 2011 14:00:00 EST.
