Guild asking for a weekly tax.

[wladimir89]

Is this even necessary, with all the boe's and crafting mats, this should be enough to supply consumables and enchants to the raiding members?
They plan this for future raids like aq,naxx for some resistance gear and on top of that i don't think we get anything,i still have to bring my own elixirs and buy my own mats for enchanting.

Edit:

Forgot to add, its 25g per week.

[ellieg]

If you are giving away money and not getting anything in return, then no lol. I'd find out just what they're doing with all the mats and boes.

Dang not even in a game can you avoid those darn taxes. Seems they took a play straight from aoc's book. GL to you.

HAHAHAHAHA, oh boy that was a good laugh. Time for you to either stand up to tyranny or find a new, less douchebaggy guild.

[Project 501D13R]

No, it's not, BoE's and crafting mats should be more than enough to keep the guild supplied, if they are demanding a tax from you get out asap, because that is a huge sign of terrible leadership from the guild you are in.

[Knaar]

It's one way like another to help the guild during raiding. You cannot expect to have a handfull of people farming and providing everything to the whole raid.
The key is to find the sweet spots where the guild bank doesnt overflow or asking too much that people prefer to leave.

[Kumorii]

Sounds like they just want extra gold from your pockets.

[Roxyfoxy]

It depends really. I guess the guild is planning to provide their members with flasks and stuff when Naxx releases, which require a lot of resources.
Most guilds will provide flasks when they are needed, like naxx for instance, but normal consumes like potion and elixirs, are the members own responsibility.

A guild with a leader that knows how to be a capitalist, will have no problem providing stuff to their members, but not every guild got those.
How much are they demanding you to pay?

[Machismo]

It's a bad guild, and there's lots of them around.

People are responsible for their own mats, there are no cauldrons. If the guild wants to do runs for E'ko in Winterspring, by all means, do it. Any guild that is supposedly trying to gather gold for Naxx already, is just taking your money. That is a year away, at the very least.

[Roxyfoxy]

naxx may not be released for 2 years and classic could be dead by then

Guilds prepare for naxx right now if you didnt know, what a pointless answer based on assumptions

Yes it is necessary, though it depends on how much.

My guild had a 10g/week tax for 3 weeks.

Sure, grab the occasional resist item that pops up for a couple gold. There's no reason to be calling for a tax to prepare for it.

I would tell them to go get fucked and find a new guild.

[schwank05]

I can almost guarantee there will be no need for resistance Gear or anything like that this time around just as you need no consumables to have the bosses top over in less than 2 mins. My Guild runs 15 man Ony and 20 Man MC already.

[Talrath]

Damn, bad guild bad guild.

Im pretty sure its a guild where people say this about gold farming: Ain't nobody got time fo that!

So they ask a tax, tbh they don't have to do it if they find people who farm mats and stuff for the guild. Most of these people become officers and such because they contribute alot to the guilds effort in clearing raids with giving food and such.

So my advice, get the hell away from there.

I dont support a tax on guild members, but grabbing a few resist items does not prepare you for naxx.

Right now, my guild bank got mats for around 100 flasks, some will be used in bwl and AQ, but we aim to have around 500 for naxx release, so we're good until a possible tbc release.

[Nnyco]

If they atleast provide potions or w/e in return but yours just seem like a pretty douchey guild.

The entire concept of giving anything to the guild makes no sense, even if you get something in return because at the end of the day you pay to get something, how is this any different from the AH? You MAYBE save a microscopic amount of gold? Pointless.

[Steelcryo]

I'd leave that guild straight away. You can almost guarantee that the GM is taking some of that gold for their own stuff. If you're selling unused BOE's and things, that should cover any costs the guild has at the moment. If they aren't giving you anything in return, then they're just taking gold for no reason. Leave and find another guild.
