Every coin has two sides
... or how to balance two sides of a guild such as ours.
Great article here inspired me:

Basicaly our guild falls somewhere along those lines. We are mostly so called casual players, however WoW is a game made in such way that a huge part of it remains out of reach for guilds that can not foster enough high end players - and we don't want that. We want to do it all. However, being really capable of downing engame content on regular basis comes with a price, as "casualness" of the guild fades away - and we don't want that either.
Basicaly we want to have our cake, and eat it too. Which will take lots of our nerves in the long run, but will also make our existence within wow much more fun.
Tiger has to offer something to our high end players, and we have to offer something to our casuals. If we bend too far into one side, the other side will rot away.
It will take alot of tolerance and initiative and ability to find a middle ground to achieve that.
To be clear of one thing - each and every member of Tiger has the ability to organise events. Just make sure you stay within the rules of our guild and with sense of good taste. We want to promote our guild, not achieve a bad name. Everything else is up to each and every one of you. Tiger will be what we make out of it.
