Agenda:
1. Started with what do people think of 4.0
--Tasty: "We all know that Arcann and Vaylin are banging right?"
--a lot happy with story, a lot happy with quality of life, all raids made viable, lots to do solo
2. State of game
-went over the rumors and offical responses by Bioware about changes coming to servers (PvE/PVP instances, no mega servers, possible server merges in future)
3. Survey Results listed off
-in short, people love the guild, are ok with the game, love our server. People think our recruiting process and trials is perfect as is, though people think some leniency could come to our activity requirements
State of Guild
opened floor for people to chat
-buck: want to open up the guild to have other games
-narr-hann: burnout, may branch out to another game, would support a wow guild too
-Lohgan: if we go multi-game, ensure forums support it. a bit burnt out, but one way to change that and reinvigorate, is to do a new class with a new trinity role
-Brandon-Jinn: a little burn out, waiting for new warzone
-Scuba: not feeling burn-out, still pushing DPS and competing on Star Parse with community, loving GSF
-Narr-hann: RP could re-invigorate
-Shawn's notes on his fears about Bioware/EA not committing appropriate resources to SWTOR
-Tasty whatever we do, let's pledge to keep this guild going
-Naar saying hopes story talks about rebuilding the republic, empire
Recruiting
---proposal to remove "only our guild" rule
----naarhan approves
----Lohgan: raid conflicts?
----Tiffs: like other guild more than us?
----Nwahs responds that if people like other guilds more than us, then they probably should just like them more than us and we're better off I guess. And we can learn from that situation on how we could maybe be better, or we're just not a match for that person.
----scubax suggest absorbing other small guilds... recruiting deputy needs to work with officers to find small guilds that we might be able to absorb. They would go through Trial process.
----scubax: on the next survey, how much can you help with recruiting will be a question
---talked about proposal to change application process, can join guild and try out in trainee mode without having to apply right away. New system proposed is to have people either apply as they do now, or you can /ginvite players from fleet, put them in Initiate rank, lower than Trainee, set member note to "needs to apply" and they have 7 days to apply. May make the rank called "Needs to Apply" just so it's very obvious to that new person.
PvE
-survey question to ask: tues always nim, or rotate every few weeks in case people can't make a certain night.
-nightmare: need to post all the things nightmare requires (adrenals, medpacs, all endurance/mastery datacrons, companion boosts, augments, min max mods and enhancements, synergy of class buffs)
PvP
-We'll have a pvp night somewhere in the Mon-Thurs rotation... GSF can work it's way in once a month to start and on weekends
-no one will be upset you don't have pvp gear, you'll be trained, you'll get advice, you'll be helped to get gear
-if you lose a lot, take your lumps, or try lowbies
-Pax tonight (me, brandon, lohgan, pretz) won like 6 out of 7 war zones. In the last few weeks, at least for Nwahs, when grouped with Pax, won probably 75-80% of warzones.
Proposed changes
-we should have an officer meeting to discuss all these proposed changes especially the multi-guilding and what that will look like
create survey for approval of changes
