To have fun, meet new people, raid things with the guild instead of a pug that might fall apart after the first pull.....

What is the purpose of a guild these days?
Cataclysm is fixing that.

Guilds are getting talent trees and levels in Cataclysm (exp is based on the top 10 most active guild members only so that larger, more active guilds can't level their guild faster than those without as many members...or so the theory runs).

How so? I'm not flaming, I'm just curious.
Read up
and enjoy.
Edit: Forgot to quote -_-
I hope they add a better guild management tool too, specifically a "guild unwelcome list". Someone steals from the guild, scams a guild member or otherwise earns a permanent kick should be able to get just that and NOT be able to sneak back into the guild on an alt or after a name change.
I'm in a big open leveling guild. A lowbie guildie was caught begging in Orgrimmar and asked to stop, as it was embarrassing as hell to have someone with our guild name pestering people for gold. Another guildie even took the time to go mining with him, showing how 20 copper ore could easily be sold for 4-5g on AH, but next day the lowbie guildie was back to begging. He was told to choose between membership of the guild and begging, and eventually he ended up being kicked. He pleaded his case with an officer and got a second chance, promised nver to beg again and was seen begging an hour later, so out he went again..
Over the course of the following weeks he would join with alts, wait for a time with no officers online and then start flaming the guild. I think we ended up kicking 15 of his alts and naturally we reported him for harassment. Blizzards response was "Well, don't invite the guy." which is pretty easy to say when we have no idea of knowing whether the new toon joining the guild is him or not. We could add some sort of screening process but that would be a burden on everyone trying to join and the officers having to screen and it still wouldn't offer a surefire way to make certain that the angry beggar wasn't one of them..
Blizz has stated that they love guilds because the social aspect keeps people playing, well it's time they give us a tool to deal with the anti-social then.
Someone earning a permanent kick should be able to get his/her name on a "Guild unwanted list" edited by the guild master or officers. While on that list it would be impossible to invite any toon from the same account. If the guild decides to give someone a second chance, they first have to take the name of the list.

I'm not in a raiding guild since raiding is not on my to do list. My guild do raids weekly, its nothing new and we have some pretty decent geared toons, so gear is not the problem.
Most people in my guild either have jobs and/or are married, which means to raid frequent is hard since there is this thing called the real life knocking on your door every now and again.
On topic in the older days (vanilla and BC) you had to be in a guild to do raids. These days its not necessary, guilds are more of a social thing imho and its great. I sometimes log on for hours just flying around farming ore and chatting to guildies. The chatting is probably the only reason I still play wow since I live on a farm and well people are not easy to come by....
