Pugging in Khyber - a perspective (Read 2827 times)

	So as most of you know I am waiting on a ban appeal on my main account in Argo. To kill some time and get to know some new players and tactics, I usually play on other servers, my first vacation was in Ghallanda and currently I find myself pugging anonymously in Khyber. Ill keep this thread updated with my impressions on the PUG scene and the different personalities / guilds I meet on my way to level 20 and beyond. I ran a von5 / von 6 with a group composed primarily of Helper's Guild. I wont say I was impressed but it was a nice change of pace from what I am used to. Despite all the BS and trash talk that THG has taken on the forums, I must say that they do a really good job in keeping things together and pointing people in the right direction when needed. von5 is not an easy raid for new players, but the group was able to tackle a couple of delays and all in all it was a great, fun run.

	I don't think anyone has ever been impressed by a Helpers guild member lol. There was an AA that always managed to be in Shroud Runs I was in. He loved to boast about his DPS and he never used melee. Annoyed me so much.

Too bad no one explained to him he was gimpd during manyshot cooldown.

	I agree with your assessment of Helpers. They have about 25000 members so it is only natural that they have a more robust spread of ability.

At some point I compared THG to Argo's KA, for that I apologize. Clearly THG has a higher level of control over membership and its more experienced members are trying to share their knowledge.

I have said it before in the spring our first guild Shroud wiped in Part 3 probably had 4 DR breakers in the whole group. We now run guild Elite ToD's and Epic Chrono's. It hasn't been easy but it has been worth the time and effort put in by all of our officers and members. We are still working on improving the overall membership all the time.

We have been closed to new recruiting for a while except for friends, family, etc. Did she make it to the interview process? If so who did she speak with? We have a larger than normal number of female gamers in the guild compared to guilds I have been in previously and in other games so it is generally a very comfortable environment for female gamers. If she is still interested I could set her up an interview with Sisster...she is a big softy.

I don't think she had an interview, just the "we're not recruiting" line. This was in the last couple of weeks, on a hide toon. I don't even know the name of the character.
