The kind of player that felt they could be so much more, but were surrounded by excuse-makers: Facerollers clinging to pathetic justifications for their incompetence like a broken-record. The other type of recruit we attracted was that of a player who felt constrained by their current conditions. He had a taste for cream and was uninterested in the peasantry of milk. Cheeseus was a good example of this type of a recruit. I'd offer an alternative to the abusive demands of hardcore raiding, and guarantee seeing some progression. Whatever the case may be, I was not there to judge, but to simply welcome in. It may very well have simply been a conscious decision to strike a better balance in life. Maybe the only thing that changed was the addition of a kid to the picture.perhaps it was none of these things. Perhaps it was more appropriate to game into all hours of the night when your significant other was simply the “boyfriend” - but now that he was the "husband", it was time to get some priorities straight. Perhaps their hardcore raiding days were during College, but with degree in hand, it was time to knuckle down and punch the 9-to-5. The first bucket of players were battle-worn and exhausted ex-hardcore raiders who prided themselves on server-firsts in Sunwell and Naxxramas (40-Man), but for one reason or another, couldn't maintain that lifestyle anymore.

Equally important, it allowed me to skim that cream off the top and place it on Deathwing-US's shelf for sale. One: it gave the individual players in my raiding roster an opportunity to rise to the top, rewarding them with pellets as they continued to pound the lever. Creating a hierarchical structure of ranks in DoD served two purposes. We appeared no different than the brand any other guild sold. ![]() But without a system to incentivize players, to excel and be acknowledged for that excellence, we sat on the shelf of our server's grocery store and stagnated. The players that were poured into our raid team were a mixture of all different talents and styles, of varying degrees in skill and play. Throughout Vanilla and The Burning Crusade, our raid team was not unlike a glass of milk. that's a taste reserved for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
