Two questions:
The very last guild that clears Naxx before BC...where are they now? How fast are they clearing BWL, what kind of time commitment do they have to farming consumables, how stable is their roster?
And the same exact question for AQ40.
If you really feel like reading...
Coronavirus has screwed up my (guild's) plans royally.
I started a guild in January because I couldn't make any other guild's raid times on my server.
Recruited heavily during my planned raid times, after 8pm Pacific.
Coronavirus screwed everything up, I'm gonna be working nights now. So now I can't even attend my own guild's raids GDI.
So now I've got 750+ members (probably 100 active ones, 100 semi-active, and a dozen+ just hitting 60) and they're a good core, I've run social guilds before but things have gelled better than usual. They're good folks. But fact is all the really hardcore players started in August so Naxx isn't in the cards. We're barely doing ZG so it's doubtful that AQ40 is in the cards.
But what's the most I can do for them?
Again...what is the minimum possible bar to limp through AQ40 or Naxx? I just can't separate the fact that BWL is getting crushed under an hour from the reports that Naxx used to be so hard farming flasks shadow protection potions poaching warriors blah blah blah...what's the reality?
If I can get C'Thun that'd be a W, maybe even team up with another guild to get a few individuals carried through Naxx once in a while. But if I'm not gonna be able to get C'Thun, I might as well just tell people to go through BWL with another guild since that's all the further we'll get anyway.
