The Guild Counsel: How to make PUG raids work
There's one thing every guild leader dreads: It's raid night and your guild is short on numbers. You could call it a night and postpone it, but that will mean a dip in morale and an increase in frustration within the guild. Too many postponed raids will eventually lead to an empty roster as people move on to other guilds. An alternative is to PUG it and advertise for more guests in general chat. The upside is that you'll be able to do the raid, but inviting in the unknown can bring plenty of new problems. Like the misfit toys above, there are plenty of players who have their own set of flaws and can make even the best-planned raids a true test of patience. Can a PUG raid work, or is it a recipe for disaster? Let's consider that question in this week's Guild Counsel.
Breakfast Topic: Do you know the patch guy?
In every guild, there's that guy. You know the one I'm talking about. He was around for awhile, enthusiastic about the game, wanting to jump in on guild PuG's and have some fun. Then he wasn't around much. Then he wasn't around at all and you forgot about him.A big patch goes live and he's back. "Hey, how's it going, man? Long time no see!" You think hard to remember when you last grouped with him. It's all a blur, it's been so long. But there's new content and he's raring to go! Fair enough, but you know he'll drift away again in a month or so.Do you know that guy? Are you that guy?
