g is already on the auction house and then gives you an undercut value to post with which you can adjust in fact this part of it was much easier than auctioneer so i ve now switched to that i d also been struggling with the wardrobe it is a brilliant system and a breath of fresh air as far as my creaking bags bank and void storage were concerned the main problem was i wasn t really sure that everything was saved there without checking first i checked the first few then after that just the occasional thing and then by pure chance discovered that one of the items i d been holding on to was not stored by the wardrobe so i turned to addons again did a bit of research and came across can i mog it which is excellent it will tell you if you already have a look stored in your wardrobe if it was gained by a different item if you can learn it if you can learn it on a different character or if it can t be added to the wardrobe at all it has the occasional glitch currently boiling down to it sometimes saying you haven t learned an item but another class can yet when you transfer it to that character it turns out you have already learned it but that is easily dealt with i can highly recommend that addon for anyone who is interested in adding to their wardrobe now i ve got all those sorted i have a new mission to go back through various raids and instances to fill in the blanks and to find all those tier tokens i have lying around to get them exchanged for even more items posted in addons leion wow tagged legion wow 7 comments being cheap takes time posted on 26 july 2016 by sprowt 2 i realised following prompting that once again i d neglected this blog my main problem is a combination of poor time management and being yorkshire which together with having the attention span of a cocker spaniel combine to make having a good chunk of time to write anything vaguely readable a bit of a challenge in effect we ve had lots of expense over the last few months that i ve spent vast amounts of time trying to reduce to a minimum we ve ordered a new car to replace the one that we ve had for about 15 years and now is developing its own version of old age most problems for which the garage can t find an easy solution we ve had a computer that needed replacing and a graphics card on another that also needed replacing new school uniforms to buy yet again grrrr a college to sort out and decisions to make over what to do during the summer school holidays being proudly yorkshire originally where the folk are renowned for having short arms and deep pockets ie they don t like spending money i ve spent huge amounts of time scanning the internet for various deals vouchers cash back offers and doing research on all options we re also of course in the growing season admittedly here in the north of england it started off fairly late with the sun only deigning to appear within the last few weeks so we ve been harvesting and trying to work out what to do with a variety of home grown food including strawberries raspberries white currants rhubarb and new potatoes we ve also now got beetroot two different types of beans peas courgette salad leaves sweetcorn tomatoes and squash growing that we re hoping have had a suitable boost over the last couple weeks of sun because looking at the current weather and the forecast that may be all they re going to get i m trying to make an effort to be organised i regularly write myself lists of things to do i have a google calendar that syncs up to my computer and phone that is chock full of things we need to do on certain days together with tentative events that i know need to be done but haven t firmed up when yet in between all that i m having to do the usual housework and tackle an ironing pile that just seems to grow of its own accord there is usually something wandering around the internet that talks of someone who starts off their day with just one thing to do yet in the process keeps finding other things to do finally reaching the end of the day and realising that one thing it s still waiting to be done that s usually me only there s never only one thing posted in me stuff food uncategorized

posts in that it was a request for readers to sell their guilds to her in the hope that she would join them which is fine but i did wonder if perhaps she was selling herself short in the process or perhaps failing to sell herself properly when you re looking for a guild you re basically looking for a new home whilst you re in game people will spend hours playing and the guild you re in the people you interact with can make a huge difference to how you perceive and enjoy or not the game itself in order to find a guild that enhances your gaming experience you need to find one that matches your personality and play style there is really no point being in a casual guild that fishes for fun if your passion is pvp or raiding one thing that didn t sit right with me on that post was firstly the overall feel that she felt she would be a catch for any guild that guilds should be falling over themselves to have her join them yet she said virtually nothing about what sort of guild she was looking for so take note guild leaders and those recruiting for guilds are usually not just looking for warm bodies to fill the guild they re looking for people who have the same general outlook and enjoy similar things to current guild members the same approach to the game and to ascertain this they need information from the potential recruit a little bit about your real life situation how it may affect your time in game whether you re a focussed individual who has specific goals in game or is just happy to dabble in various aspects what times you normally play and how regularly if you want to join in events what days times you d be available the other thing that would ring alarm bells with a recruiter are saying things like i m in a dead guild and it s my fault i don t make friends easily and i have a l100 character who s gear isn t useless the fact that there is also a proviso to her joining any guild that she will write blog posts about it too would also be off putting for many i ve seen her posts and although they re entertaining and often to the point they re also often a bit on the negative side which i understand in a way after all people more often tend to write about things that annoys them than stuff that doesn t and that type of post is more likely to gets responses so the assumption is that the majority of blog posts regarding any guild she joined would be negative and very few people enjoy bad press so i m hoping ms chat finds somewhere to hang her wow hat and call home somewhere she is comfortable can let her hair down and be herself with people who can accept what she is and what she has to offer whatever that may be for others considering looking for a new guild i d say the following be honest with yourself first and foremost know what you want what you enjoy and what sort of guild will suit that if you cannot work that out you re going to be exceedingly lucky to find a suitable guild straight away and the more you hop from guild to guild the less attractive as a guild member you re going to be i do the majority of the recruitment for our guild and the first thing i m looking for is an open and honest application sometimes i can simply tell from the amount and content on the application if people are going to fit with us there is a specific demographic that has a much higher chance of fitting with us that s not to say that those outside of the demographic will not fit but just that there is less likelihood and that s not saying anything negative about them it says something about us i ve found that a much higher proportion of younger applicants tend to lie or mislead on their application forms either by omission misunderstanding or simply because they think the information being asked for is irrelevant a lot of questions we ask during the application process are solely to understand the person applying and we always base our decisions on how we feel an individual will fit in it s nothing to do with the character you join with the character does not interact with others it s the person behind the character that does that one way we understand people is by doing an honesty check if you can t be honest on your application when you re supposed to be showing yourself off in the best light then you re not going to be honest in the guild now i m not expecting anyone to come online and blurt out everything that happened that day or tell everyone their deepest darkest secrets i m just checking to make sure people are able to be honest when it counts for example when we organise raids we expect people to self monitor and be honest if they muck up it s much easier and causes less drama if we know why a wipe for example happened because then we can work on it try alternatives try to avoid it happening again if there is a disagreement in guild that people can be honest with themselves and each other dishonesty leads to exacerbation of problems and drama which we don t like once the honesty hurdle has been overcome it is simply a matter of assessing if the person applying would fit sometimes it s an obvious rejection we ve had people apply from the wrong realm or faction with no intention of moving we ve had people applying who are looking for a raiding environment we re unable to provide we ve even had one person apply to join for a completely different game other than the fact that quite obviously these people had not researched us properly before applying and the first page of our website would provide all of the information these people needed to realise we were not the place for them of course they were rejected because we were the wrong place for them other times decisions take longer during which time i research their previous guilds what sort of guild environment they were used to their achievements what they enjoy doing in game and sometimes speak to previous guilds to find out more so all of that is worth bearing in mind not all guilds will go to that trouble some will do no research some will do more some will require voice chat interviews and trials before they will accept you this leads me to the second thing you should be doing if you re looking for a new guild research once you have established what you want out of the game what you have to offer and what you re looking for you need to research guilds don t just accept the first offer that comes your way in trade chat do a bit of homework it will save you time effort and possibly upset in the long run by knowing what you are looking for and then actually looking for it rather than keeping your fingers crossed and jumping from guild to guild the resources i would recommend are the blizzard forums check out both your realm and the looking for players forums if you re interested in raiding check out the wowprogress website for realms that are suitable for you then the guilds suitable for you often guilds will have recruitment posts describing themselves and links to their websites take your time watch trade chat watch who talks on it who advertises what those adverts say shift click on character names in chat to see their guild name and then do a who for that guild name to see how many are online if there are only one or two online at a peak time for you then it s not the guild for you have a look at the in game guild finder type gf in the chat pane and take note of guilds that look suitable again do a who for those guilds during your peak times any that still seem suitable search for them in your browser use the guild and realm name you may come across websites for them and more information about them if they re still suitable speak to one of them in game check first to make sure they re not in a raid or dungeon make sure you find out all you need to know before you start an application process whether that be filling in an application form or simply contacting someone in game posted in guild wow tagged alternative chat guild guild website

working part time term times i should have bags of available time rattling around just waiting to be filled but either i m just really bad at time management or somehow i ve managed to fill that extra time with stuff i also know that in order to write anything here i need to devote a decent sized uninterrupted block of time and that just doesn t seem to happen that often my brain is basically a shopping list full of things that have to be done most of it is highly mundane some of it i m avoiding ironing again and most of it just never ends it might get dealt with for now but then it just drops a bit further down the list waiting to sneak it s way back up again this week for us it s half term the schools are off and therefore i m off work i tend to use this time to help catch up on stuff that s been lurking on the list for a while but also things that are more difficult to arrange during term time stuff that requires the kids to be involved unfortunately so far this week most of my time and concentration has been focussed on the guild and not in a good way i was hoping to sneak in some time to just learn to enjoy playing wow again recently it s just felt like a job logging in doing maintenance keeping the roster tidy website up to date guild vault sorted trying to plan and organise raids being online enough to be approachable if needed whilst getting dailies done a few weeks ago i bought the legion upgrade and i ve had that big level up button just waiting for me to select a character to boost i ve just about settled on one but despite that so far it s taken me two weeks to get to that character only once to start looking at it again yet one person in the guild seems to be needing my time devoted to him this one person has had more of my time and attention over the last few days than my own kids for which i feel really bad and rather annoyed this one person has somehow been involved in virtually every problem that has happened in the guild over the last 18 24 months the amount of hours that have been devoted to dealing with problems that looking back on weren t actually massive problems until this one person got involved is completely stupid admittedly some of the problems that he has brought to our attention have been a slight problem but the old adage mountain out of a molehill springs to mind there was no reason why spending a few minutes dealing with them would not have sorted them out yet once this person gets involved they suddenly spring into a size out of al...
