hear hear, let's now define casuals. really?

trials do the same job as everyone else if you are good at recruiting and should be rewarded equally, and kicked if they did not pass the trial.
looks like you want to sell runs, that explains it all.
Do you imagine if blizzard were to design a loot system that would calculate who deserves every item basing itself in the performance of every player?
It would go down so that best players get all the loot and are even better and worse players who would never get anything until the good players would have get everything.
That would be really cool and I'm more an average player than a good one.
"Semi-casual" is not truly "casual" though, it even has a "semi" in front. Like, the literal definition of casual is "not regular or permanent, in particular." for the purpose of gaming. The minute you throw organized raiding in though, thereby having something "regular or permanent" you can no longer refer to yourself as "casual". You're not hardcore either per say, you're just kind of... somewhere in the middle.
Definitely, want loot? become better player.
The system could of course account for the % upgrade, if the best player get a 1 -5 % upgrade and the worse player get a 30 % give it to the worst, but overall the system would itself organize the better get the items, the worse get the leftovers.
I really would like to see it.
got any magical data proving that?

Semi-Hardcore makes sense, also something which you can see on wowprogress. I have yet to see semi-casual. But as he stated, most guilds are semi-casual. I am sure he has the same kind of prove like his claim that mostly jerks use ML
It's not toxic at all. If you run a raiding guild, you want loot to go to your raiders. If someone is on their trial runs, they haven't yet shown their dedication to the team or their ability to perform. When they get gear over a raider, before their trial is done, you are essentially rolling the dice as to whether they will stay or not. Denying loot to a trial isn't a "fuck you", it's done because you don't know if that person will stay. I don't know about you, but the raid guilds I have joined don't exist to gear up non-guildies/non-raiders.
Sylvanas didn't even win the popular vote, she was elected by an indirect election of representatives. #NotMyWarchief
Just don't bring them. If the guild is working on progression, anyone not geared for progression boss kills can fuck off. Underskilled? Fuck em. Undergeared? Fuck em. Don't know the fight? Fuck em. Can't make every progression night? Fuck em.
They wanted this, they got this, they brought this on themselves. Blizzard isn't going to change it back just because guilds that focus on progression stopped bringing lesser geared/skilled people who, for the most part, only care about themselves getting some pixels. Might as well just move on (slower of course)n
No casuals are doing the type of raiding that I'm currently doing. They're irregularly raiding heroic at best. So their opinion on the matter is kind off whatever and that's putting it nicely. Exorsus is in a race of it's own, the only people that should care about their opinion are other world first race-contenders.

Ehh what? You're quoting an old post of mine. Someone must've really touched you in a bad spot.
it just looks like this, you've been repeating yourself, check your posts, it looks funny.
you want to feel important cuz you killed argus a few months ago and expect respect for your guild , that's perfectly fine.
you are not doing progression any longer, and were trying to hire trials to help you farm mounts/sell runs whatever. Your attitude just shows that you may be one of many examples when trials are not treated as equals and abused. Did you ever give a trial a TF item judging on same terms with the core team?
No it's about self-awareness and knowing your place. We don't "hire trials", we always recruit long-term. It's just a bigger chance we might recruit people with less experience during farm because then they have a chance to show they can play the game. We don't do sell runs so that's one thing you've gotten completely wrong. And we farm the mount for everyone, trial or not. We've given out like 40 Gul'dan mounts to trials that joined and either left or got declined. We've given away TF'd loot to trials that we see alot of promise in. Of course we'll prioritize core raiders over trials since we don't even know if that trial is going to stay.
You don't even realize it's the other way around, we carry someone to 11/11M and then they leave/quit the game. That's more likely to happen, trials fucking us over because they just wanted the achiv. You've got 0 insight, absolutely 0. Not every guild is toxic, believe it or not, top mythic guilds are quite nice places, otherwise it wouldnt ever get there. You don't become a top mythic raiding guild without having a good and stable core, you wouldnt get that with an extremely toxic environment.
