I hated when guilds did that in game, it annoyed the hell out of me lol but i'm not a WoW player, just putting in a small comment

This is done in the Trade channel, so it is very unobtrusive.

I did it last night and picked up what appears to be a very helpful, and cool level 70 hunter.

Shouldn't it be done it the "guild recruitment" channel instead of trade?

Just asking.

Is anyone playing the Alliance side still?

I don't think anybody plans on spamming the ad repeatedly - which i will admit gets annoying. Just to throw out there every once in a while.

Lots of guilds recruit this way and there is nothing wrong with it. We are in need of a healer and a tank so we can start raiding. Not every guild raids and when people hit level 70 and want to start raiding they look for things like this. If we don't advertise and actively look for people the guild grows more slowly and we want more people now, especially for raiding. The more the merrier. What is annoying is when people spam it over and over within a short period of time and we aren't doing that. I also don't see a reason for this to be limited to guild recruiting channel. Nobody else really does so why should we?

Anyhow, this is something the active officers of the WoW guild felt would be beneficial and all agreed on recruiting this way. If anyone has a problem with this or what we are doing please feel free to PM me or any one of the other officers and we can discuss why we feel this is necessary.

For those interested in helping grow the WoW guild family of OWS please use this message for recruiting. As always, be helpful and courteous to folks. If someone says they are not interested there is no need to persue it with that individual. Also, please don't forget to age check before sending a guild invite. Recruits must be 16 or older to join unless it is a family member of an OWS member. Please make sure you are familiar with the OWS and WoW guild rules and guidelines and let new recruits know where to find them.

When recruiting this way please do not spam the chat channels over and over. Once or twice while you are in a town is fine, but any more than that is just asking for people to start being shitty about it. If you are wanting to aggressively recruit, I would suggest keeping it to 1 - 2 an hour in a town. The best way is to run with folks in an instance or being helpful with quests with potential new recruits. Sending a message to guildless people is ok too, but just be forewarned that you may get negative responses. If that happens, just drop it with that individual, no need to retaliate or argue. Just move on.
