Guys, We are purposely staying off the wvw field on Friday night until February's patch that should solve the Queuing issues. One of the major issues with Friday night is thats Date Night for a lot of us married / involved types. Girlfriends don't take likely to being placed second on Friday night. This makes this spot a very hard spot to fill. With the drama of Rush Night on top of that and every guild fighting for a field to play on it makes friday night a political nightmare.
Over the next few weeks I'm going to be working with some of the community that actually wants to work along side us but with everyone and their granddad doing the Friday Rush and that night particularly causing my leaders to drop like flys I kinda want to avoid causing more problems if I can avoid it. Friday night is a cesspool of drama, slander, and assumptions.
If and a very big IF we had someone trying to lead that friday spot they would have to coordinate with the community, be at the meetings Fridays at 3:30PM PST to discuss who's going where, and be able to work with those other leaders. Not only that but they must also lead as a Gaiscioch should being open to all and be a prime example to what we stand for. If they are not, all it does is cause more tension between us and them and ends up eating up my week trying to defuse the bomb that is friday night wvw. In all honestly I'd rather spend my nights building something, leading something, or spending time with my wife. Every night this past week has been spent defusing situations between us and community, Largely leading from what goes on Friday Night.
The past 3 weeks have been a overall terrible experience and a huge timesink on me. I'd prefer not to cause friction. There are lots in the community that do not support what TW is doing but to get us in a good light we will have to make sacrifice so that they see we aren't like TW. Right now we come off as a bunch of egotistical exclusionists which can not be further from the truth. If we put our best foot forward and work with them they can begin to see us for who we are and see that we aren't just another tyrant.
Remember a lot of you saw gaiscioch originally and though oh great, zerg guild. They're probably as bad as goon squad. The more you got to know us the more you saw things were way different. These peoplea re working off assumptions and we need to chisel our way in so that they can see what we're really trying to achieve here. This isn't long term, just long enough for us to infiltrate their community and find the parts that are worth spending our efforts with and the parts that aren't worth our time and energy.
Come February there's a massive WvW patch that is supposed to diminish queue's to non-existent and give us more battlefield to play with. At that point we can branch out into multiple pairings, join the friday night slot. For now I'd prefer that if your on the field friday night your joining one of the other commanders and showing them that Gaiscioch is here to support the community and not hog the limelight.
