Tiger - Venture Co.

Yesterday, I was sitting for 2-3 hours in Azsara, staring at the damn fishing bobber when its going to move so I can get a supposedly 14% chance to get a the fish I need for potions that give me +2000 armor for one minute, that I will later use in Zul'Gurub. I was utterly bored in every possible way. For a second there, I was really starting to ask myself why the hell do I do this if it's not fun, and why do I keep paying for that crap. The answer was really simple. You guys. I really enjoy going through hard stuff together with you, and it weights out all the boredom I get on the day to day basis, because after you ding 60 you still have something to do for a while - that is going to the 3 endgame instances for smaller groups - Strat, Sholo and BRS. But then, you finally get your last pieces of armor you need, and the only way ahead lies in bigger places like Zul'Gurub and Molten Core, and I know that our guild is just on the brink of starting doing it, and that we must clench our jaw and push through this last part and get to doing the endgame, as Blizzard has devised it for us. To be able to break through the barrier of million little guilds that are made of great people, but get stuck in that endless level 60 limbo, untill they get bored of the game, or just leave the guild searching for better luck elsewhere. I see some of you coming up to 60. I hope that by the time you gear up enough, the generation behind you will also be hitting 60 and we will be able to break into Molten Core. Prepare for some waiting. You will not wait as long as we did, but you will wait.
Each one that decides to bail out in that process is setting the guild back a step. While making one step back while doing four steps forward is not a problem, it slows down the process, and maybe pushes you to make two steps backwards.

This is where the guild spirit and team spirit comes to place. We are building this together. We will push and wait and fall and rise up again and eat dirt, but look up untill we succceed. You will be tolerant and patient and do everything to succeed. I can promise you one thing, that when we do succeed, you will feel the joy and you will scream like an idiot, because you will be rewarded for months of sticking with it, and waiting, and trying and failing over and over again. That moment will show you the guild spirit. Each one of you that decided to stick with it and go on, while everyone else fell will feel that.

For lower levels out there - USE THE CALENDAR TO PLAN EVENTS. We WILL help you, but get a team of 3 or 4 of you together, and 1 or 2 of us will go with you, when you plan it in advance. You will get help, but don't expect it served on a silver platter - do the planning and preparations and organising and schedule yourself, don't just expect us to take you for a ride while you sit back and reap the rewards.

All of you have to be maximaly tollerant. There are 70+ different people in this guild. 70 different people, of different ages. With different daily obligations and daily schedule. With different personalities and different lives. Each one of us percieves fun differently. We have to overcome that and make it all work together. You have to be maximally tolerant to the guy on the other side of the line as you never know what he has to do and what he wants to do and how much time he has.

Cheers!
