So I often read people posting their squads saying blah blah is g10 and blah is g9 nearly g10. And I'm just WTF cos our guild has loads of lvl 80 players but all day every day people are asking for mk5 callers or fusion furnaces. The thing I cant get my head around is how so many people seem to have g9 g10 toons when the raid rewards are just pathetic as a whole. We average 4or 5 raids a week. What's the secret? Why are some maybe most of us taking forever to g9 toons compared to the rest of you? Vader.. was the only toon I got to G9 withouth raid stuff... when I look now at my high lvl toons and consider how long it will be before 7 or 8 of them can get to g9 I get really depressed, cos at this rate it will be 6 months or more.

What tier of raids are you doing? T7 is the only decent rewards.

T5 and t6.. but surely its progressive. . You do enough 5s and 6s that you're ready for 7s. I dunno

People were getting upset by everyone saying it's better to be bottom t7 then top t6. While not true if you are the one person at the top, for the guild it is absolutely better.

And just to add, at some point you need to judge the reward of the exchange system. I will go days without asking for something because I don't want to give up my 40 furnaces or other raid only gear. I may donate what I can but if I don't ask I don't feel bad not giving. The guild agrees this is a fair way to do it so we all take breaks when we are close to finishing something.

Majority are pulling 600 a day - 25% i guess don't. Tier 7 raids are beyond us right noe. Only a few could cut it. The thing is. . If I left the guild and joined guys doing t7 raids constantly - wouldn't it be better I finsish top3 in my current guild at t6 than join another doing t7 and finsish 35th.

It depends. As pointed out earlier a lot of people say better to get bottom t7 than top t6. But if you're still doing some t5 every now and again it's definitely better to do constant t7. Plus, the drop rate for raid gear is much better in t7. As is the drop rate for fully crafted gear. Another thing to take into consideration is if you jump into a guild that's been doing t7 raids for a while they will have better gear and toons. You'll more than likely be at the bottom. Just some things to think about.

You are already feeling the issues of this mentality. I left a guild sitting top 2 when t5 was the thing. Started bottom 30 in t6 and weeks later bottom 40 t7. I now rank 16 in t7 because we all solo p1 and into p2.

Trust me it's quicker to be bottom 30 t7.

I agree with this opinion. Better to swim with the big fish in the big pond, than being the biggest fish in a small pond.

One intangible benefit is the learning that you can get from the interaction with the better players.
And of course, the rewards for bottom t7 rankings are better than mid t6 rankings.
