You might be right, I may have been a bit too forceful. I never put anybody down though. I never would say hey, you play like crap, your gear looks goofy, and you smell funny.

But 20g repairs from the GBank everyday when we’re not raiding and not doing heroics tells me something must be going on, no?

Sometimes no matter how well intentioned you are people don't want your advice or help. Perhaps that was what happened here. I have no idea of the approach you used but maybe your enthusiasm for trying to improve your guild mates was too much for them. Personally I think it is their loss. I think there are a couple of questions to ask yourself: 1. Will staying within your current guild allow you to achieve what you want in the game and therefore mean you are having fun? There's no point staying in a situation out of loyalty if it's no fun for you. 2. Could your approach towards helping people be improved? Were you perhaps a little overwhelming with your assistance?

Oh, the life of a guild.

Any guild. They all have this problem to a greater or lesser degree.

One suggestion I’d make for recruiting like-minded people is to party up regularly – if your guild does dungeons, party up for dungeons but don’t ONLY party with guildmates – make sure you include outsiders as well, and use it as a way to see if that outsider might fit in and might be interested in joining.

That being said, most of my friends are spread out in different guilds as while we’re friends, we all have different goals and each of the toons that we’re focusing on are at different levels. We come together to share good times and socialize, but we’ve given up trying to be in the same guild
