Almost there

Meaning Friday folks. I was reading this Article just yesterday and had to post it here. I would have done it this morning but I've been so busy at work. I figured since a few take smoke breaks during the day, this is my smoke break. Anyway, the article I read yesterday was a guild who went from Kara to Illidan in six weeks!!

In the Article it mentioned that several of their members were still in Blue while fighting Illidan himself. Simply amazing. Ninety-five percent of their guild had never seen any T6 content before. Who's the Guild? Havoc!! This is their history on how their guild got started. Their Guild Leader injured his arm and was forced to give up his position as a Marine officer. Rather than look down on the situation, he took advantage of it. He looked at is as a golden opportunity. He thus returned to his old guild Rage but found that Rage had died due to officers moving on or others losing interest but a decent amount remained and he volunteered to lead and reform the Guild, thus the birth of Havoc.

His expectations were made very clear from the beginning: this would be the best guild anyone had ever seen. At the time, the Horde guilds were far more advanced, with the leading guild already relatively deep into T6. He knew it would take work to surpass them in a short amount of time and claim the server first Illidan kill.

He decided we would raid five days a week, four hours a day and have very strict policies on attendance and performance. The guild officers were responsible for making sure their classes showed up flasked and buffed and performed as well as they could. In addition, he made everyone read numerous strategies on each boss fight ahead of time, as well as watch videos on YouTube.

I think this strictness is what attracted people to their guild. They have an aura of professionalism that most guilds lack. They recruited many members from other guilds, several of whom were far undergeared for the content they expected them to participate in but nonetheless performed very well.

On raid nights, they believed there was no such thing as a wasted wipe. Meaning, that every time they didn't kill a boss, there was something to be learned about the encounter -- something that was done wrong or could have been done better, either by an individual or as a group. This process of finding the problems and weeding them out, in combination with a determined raid group and a fairly heavy schedule, is what led to rapid progression. Everything was not perfect, and several of the members we recruited early on were eventually were weeded out due to poor performance. However, due to the number of applications we received, we were eventually able to form our core group that would remain together and push to Illidan and thus since the reform, this guild under new leadership was able to go from Kara to Black Temple in six weeks. Simply Amazing but again it requires that you give up life in order to progress. Not to mention that they only have 33 members.

Great Story and Congratz guys!!
