Dear WoW members of Crimson Wing:
As many of you know, Crimson Wing is designed to be a jack-of-all-trades guild, our three wings for Raiding, Pvp, and RP should all be going strong. One of the things that makes this guild great is the sense of family and helpfulness that we became known for in the previous months. Our members are talented and experienced, kind and enjoyable, and unfortunately I have been seeing a decline in the closeness of our members -- most of these controversies centering around our Icecrown Citadel weekly raids.
As such -- Crimson Wing will no longer be hosting ICC in-guild. You are encouraged to pug or put your own groups together for it from now on. You all deserve to hear the reasoning behind this, so here it is:
1) We have been unable to form consistent groups for any kind of progression, frankly without dedication, ICC will yield no advancement, having an entirely new group almost every single week won't get people where they want to be, which is Arthas.
2) There are few of us who are geared for ICC and more people who need lower level raids such as TOC, ONY, and ULD. We will be focusing on these lower level raids again for fun and for gear for people who genuinely are interested in progression and learning to be members of a consistent team.
3) A majority of our new members are pugging ICC anyway and are not available to assist the guild group when they go on their runs.
4) Too much emphasis is being put on the raiding section of our guild: I understand that progression raids excite many members, however we are NOT a hardcore raiding guild and we will NOT acquire the attitudes of one. That said, I feel as a guild we need to focus back on enjoying our company just as players before we take any further shots as upper-level raiders. Too many good people have left this guild thanks to tensions caused by ICC drama.
That is the gist of our reasoning, if you have any questions or concerns or would like to be pointed in the direction of a pug group or would like gearing help in the realm of ICC, our members will be happy to assist you. I am aware that this announcement will likely lose us some members, but for those of you who stick around -- you are the ones we wanted anyway.
See you in game.
Eyri
