Warcraft Player Seeking Work

I wouldn’t call it an “epic thread” as some responders did, *cough*, but it is different. The now freshly-created player of the Arthas realm, Mojojuju, was seeking work about a week ago as a guild … I’m going to use the word lackey, but you might choose the word bitch … in “offering my services to any server for G”:

it’s simple I am offering myself as an experianced player to any guild on any server who needs one just tell me the server and guild name plus who to contact and add your offer in G and items. the winning bid will win my services. I will role on your server and join your guild then just help me level to 60 and I’ll serve you well.
if your guild is lacking in a particular class build let me know and I will role that.

a bit about me: i’m realy male and I’m 27(not just some kid), I have many characters, a few of which are 60 or near it.
I play mainly on a pvp server.
been playing since release.
I have an open calender and can play just about any day/time.
I’ve run mc and ZG alot but thats the extent of my endgame raiding, however I have studied the others.

someone requested a bit more about my classes played, I have played all classes and have a hunter, mage, and warrior at or near 60. most others are 25-45. I carfully study my role for each character class I play.

the bidding will start at 10G and 4 “12” slot bags(3 if you need a hunter).

Several joke bids later, and the winning bidder is revealed:

**Just an update it’s over and the winner is below, I rolled a troll priest named Mojojuju and will be posting with him.**

I hope this goes well..

Winner:
Agarwean

Level 60 Undead Rogue

Guild: Collision Force
Realm: Arthas

10g 4 14 slot bags on rolling a troll priest (berserking gheals yummy)
100g on level 20
level 40 mount purchased
150g on level 60 and 4 16 slot bags
100g, onxyia cloak, flarecore shoulers, various other needed for raiding things. once all attunements complete with minimal guild spam for help getting them done (we’ve got a raiding schedule to keep)

will gear you appropriately at 60 very quickly.

www.collision-force.com for contact

(What a shock. They needed another priest.)

Hell, that’s not a bad offer for an unknown player. Frankly, my guild spends a lot more for (largely untested) new guildmembers — this could be the way of the future.

The Big Hurt

I just thought of something about 100 times better than having Curt Schilling in your MMO guild and/or game: FRANK THOMAS.

Here’s why … he’s not one of those “everything is beautiful in it’s own way …” kind of guys. I’ll bet he’d be really moody ingame — yelling at guildmates all the time, and, for sure, he would not tolerate paladins without Blessing of Kings or warlocks that forget to soulstone.

And God help any primary healers who were AFK during a boss pull.

The best part of all, in my mind, would be the guild battlecry … Here Comes THE BIG HURT.

I am so enamored with this idea, I might send this to:

Carved Out of Wood

Previously … I blew up a dying guild alliance with an offhand remark and so began the race to complete content before our former allies.

We avidly recruited, shoring up holes in our raid roster. We added a fourth raiding night. We raided well beyond our abilities at times. A green/blue equipped guild raiding Onyxia with only 28 players is .. not easy. We persevered. We failed. We won. We looted. We sharded.

The race to finish Molten Core content and move into Blackwing Lair was back and forth for a few weeks. Ultimately, they won that battle. They downed Ragnaros first.

They played around with Razorgore for two weeks while we earned our chops on Rag. TwatGuild decided to take (yet another) two week break from raiding to let their people … I dunno, rest or something, rather than have Razorgore rip apart their guild as he’s done to many others before.

From time to time, our guild has suggested raiding breaks, but I, personally, am very anti-raid breaks. Rust never sleeps, yanno. And good thing we didn’t. We downed Razorgore while they were vacationing in Upper Blackrock Spire or somewhere, who knows.

Let the Living Well begin! We dropped Vaelastrasz the next week, and the other BWL bosses in rapid succession. They’re back to messing around with the drakes, last I heard, after TwatGuild Rebuild #5.

While we were gloating in /gu and Ventrilo the other week, it got me to thinking: what a difference a year can make. Then, we were an allied little raiding guild, dependent in many ways on our allies and they on us. Now, we are the smallest endgame raiding guild on our server, still just a bunch of scrubs, only mere weeks behind the top dogs. That could change in Naxxlerammahamma — we’ll see.

We built this guild on next to nothing: a few warriors worth a shit, a core of superlative healers, a raid leader that would not (and still does not) ever give up and a roster of 50-ish determined, dedicated raiders. We are carved out of wood.

One of the pitfalls in running an endgame guild is redoing old content for newer members. To a certain extent, it must be done. Too much of it, and the veterans (read: The Equipment) burn out or look for greener pastures. How to remain accessible to new applicants, yet not backslide into a farm team for another endgame guild. That old chestnut.
