    It is not surprising that the raiding community and participation is rapidly declining as a whole, not only the hardcore ones.

    At least this time there's a patch between this and the next expansion.
    If they keep this up we'll get a good expansion start in about 3 expansions.

    It's a very old raiding guild. They were never at the Paragon/Method/Limit/Echo level but they pushed together for years. No need to be so edgy.

    Oh no, people that have been raiding for a decade have stopped doing so, #deadgame, or maybe they just grew up and either lost the enthusiasm to keep raiding, or life has other plans.

    Just because it’s been done before doesn’t make it good though is the point.

    They try to prevent us from burning out by “rotating” (like the M+ system from the next expansion) but it is just having the opposite effect on a lot of people. Frustration when it’s not up

    So they are a guild that wasn’t competing for WF? Why would you know them then… nothing edgy about that.

    It really doesn't. The game is structured around content not all being available at all times to entice subs for longer periods.

    I second this

    Because they were the number one Alliance guild for a long time until they faction changed with BfA I believe?

    They're hardly a nobody guild.

    We're talking about the WotLK-era of the game -- I doubt most people posting on this forum these days were old enough to read much less play WoW back then. It's a generational thing.

    Oh, I would want that so much! I've leveled all classes in Legion because the calls hall mounts were a great incentive but armour sets for transmog, couldn't force myself to do it more than once.

    well its literaly one of thusand of no-name guilds who are mythic raiding. why would they be special ? i have seen 3 mythic raid guilds collapse just in last tier. yet somehow mmochamp didnt mention them even they were very fun people to raid with

    i literaly care more about +10 that i just did on my fresh rogue alt then about them quiting - because people i meet in that dungeon had impact on how i play game

    them quiting have 0 impact on wow.

    Hey Edgyaedius, they were a top 15 guild since wotlk.

    It is generational to an extent - I'm older at this point and saw this and felt a little wistful maybe. I don't know anyone in the guild anymore at this point - but I immediately assumed it's ongoing life changes, getting older, less time, etc. Who knows though. I was on Ysera, where they started way back when, and they had a good reputation in addition to being competitive. They were an influential enough guild that when they left the server it created the typical ripple effect of other competitive guilds leaving, and the server essentially died. It never really recovered.

    They were a solid guild with good people that left a mark on the community. It could be argued there are tons of similar guilds, and that's true I'm sure, but they achieved some notoriety by being all around good sports / good people. It doesn't diminish the impact. It would be nice to see more of that era of community around today.

    They are, or were, an old guild who have been known by many for near the whole lengthspan of this game.

    I don't know if I'd consider that a good thing. "Old" is a common pejorative in the modern WoW community these days. There's a prevailing wisdom that the older you get the worse you are at video games. (Just look at Riggnaros as an example. That guy had Limit Maximum status in the community back when BL was the best NA guild; he's mostly a living meme these days.)

    No, they are not one of thousands. They were like one of 15-20. Also noone said them leaving have impact on WoW. They are just much more recognizable than "one of thousand no-name" guild.
