I joined up with Pax again for the people. As I said when I re-applied, in every game I played and every community I tried to join I looked for qualities that Pax had; the people, the ideals, etc. I never really could find it, and when I found out Pax had a WoW chapter I was thrilled at the chance to rejoin the flock.
Seeing as there weren't many playing yet I took it upon myself to start making plans for Legion. Finding who was gonna be playing what, bringing in friends when I could. By the time Legion launched and everyone leveled we only had three members of Pax (aside from myself and Morov) playing, Dordrac and Gil, and Buck. As far as overall WoW activity goes, new recruits and those otherwise unaffiliated with Pax take the cake. Which is fine. The problem I have is the same one I mentioned at the last officer meeting, where I felt that the rules in place on the WoW chapter shouldn't necessarily be the same as the SWTOR chapter due to the differences in the mindset of each game's players. I get the type of guild we're striving to be, as I've seen many large multi-game clans in my many years gaming, but I feel the structure of the guild doesn't really fit with me anymore, and I just feel it's kind of outdated.
It gets very discouraging seeing many potentially awesome players turn away after seeing the application process for Pax. And it gets even more discouraging when I have newer people or people interested in joining wondering why people that don't play the game have say in how the guild is run. I found myself unable to answer those questions with a straight face, because at the end of the day I found it just as silly as they did.
What I ended up with was a large and growing group of awesome people joining the raid group I put together under a structure I don't necessarily agree with. For that reason I'm going to be splitting off and doing my own thing in WoW. I'm always down for playing with any of you at any time, you could even consider me and whoever else joins me an Ally of Pax, you're always welcome.
Lok'tar Ogar. May the Force be with you. Cheers, loves.
