Our friends on worldofraids gave us more info on Death Jesters of Stormrage-US, wanna know more? Let’s me give you some tips.
In <Death Jesters> we take our reputation very seriously, both with other guilds and with the realm at large. We think we generally have a friendly rivalry. As an example, we teamed with <Integrity> to take down all the horde leaders at level 70 three times so people in both guilds could get the black bear pre-WotLK. We've loaned out Hearts of Darkness to guilds shortly after we killed Mother Shahraz so that guilds would not be bottlenecked in BT for too long. Ultimately, the raiding pool on every realm is fairly static and it is only going to bite you in the end to treat people and other guilds with disrespect. People remember your names, your guild and your reputation. And that is part of the reason competing guilds have fallen apart while we have thrived.
We've been around for four years for a reason, and that's because we've kept a high degree of class and integrity. We've had our ups and downs like every other guild, learned from our mistakes, and risen past them. We've had people come and go over the years, and many come back because they can find no guild better. They love the atmosphere in guild chat, feeling welcome, and that they are a part of something unique. We have had players leave for top North American guilds in the past, and when asked what made the difference between us and them in progression, they replied that those guilds grinded longer. They weren't happy in "mercenary" guilds where they were just another peon for their officers, where turnover was high and the app list a mile long.
There has certainly been a lot of drama with world bosses. Ever since Kazzak was introduced, there has been quite a bit of griefing by lesser guilds logging on alts, or attempting to wipe raids. With Kazzak, it came to a point where a GM intervened and asked the raid leaders to roll to decide which guild would attempt first and any subsequent griefing would result in immediate suspension. Likewise, the Emerald Dragons were an enormous source of drama. Some guilds were known for griefing, killstealing, and had a general reputation for that kind of behavior. We fraps'd occasions where they would deliberately try to train dragonkin on top of our raid, or would pull aggro to have a dragon breathe onto our raid. At one point the griefing and killstealing was so bad that we organized an agreement with most Horde and Alliance raiding guilds on Emerald Dragon etiquette: the first guild to clear the trash and drakes to a dragon had the first shot at it. All but the notorious griefing guilds agreed to it. One famous server encounter is called Rootleaf's Gambit. During this encounter in the Hinterlands, two of those griefing guilds were right behind us as we were clearing. So our raid leader, Rootleaf, suggested we pull the first named drake and feign pulling the boss. We knew the guild would try to pull the dragon then, so we let them, purposely not killing the drake (Rothos) the pathing him around the portal. Once they pulled, we retreated to a safe distance and watched happily as the patrolling drake came in and wiped their raid. We came in, pulled, killed, and looted; it was a glorious battle. Coincidentally those griefing guilds are no longer around.
