World of Warcraft : Burining Crusade
In Vanilla, we were a BWL guild. Had it on farm and we were halfway through AQ40 when the clock stopped in December 2006. So we were a successful and yet fairly casual guild. You counted as a regular if you were raiding 2 or 3 nights a week.
In 2007, the guild officers ditched the DKP system and adopted a loot council. This generated favouritism. By the time we cleared KZ, the guild became partisan and divisive with 'core' players raiding more than 3 times a week and then there were the casuals like me. Next up was Gruul's. First night we attempted it, it took us 3 tries, and we were 3rd time lucky. One of the drops was a caster sword and the loot council couldn't decide which mage or warlock to assign it to as all of the core casters already had epixxxxxxx. A few minutes of deliberating and the sword went to one of the core players. An argument broke out on Team Speak, vocal arguing plus furious typing on keyboards that was picked up by the microphones
2 days later, I logged back into WoW to find that I wasn't in a guild any more because the guild had disbanded! We then became 2 separate guilds, basically the core players in one and us casuals in the other. The irony was that we got further in the Burning Crusade content and would eventually clear some of the Sunwell where the other guild didn't manage to begin Sunwell.
So a kinda fail but a win at the same time

) & was just chatting, when someone I knew from duels asked if I'd help out in Lich King raid, as they needed one more player or it'd disband & they were desperate at that point, so I agreed, despite knowing sod all about pve. They wanted to get it done before heading to bed.
