Guild members raiding early

Hi all

What does your guild do to those guild members that raid early?

Is there any point giving them chance after chance, or best to get rid for the sake of harmony amongst the rest of the guild that are sticking to the rules?

We have a 24 hour zero damage policy like a lot of other guilds, but always seem to get a handful of members raiding as soon as the raid starts, even if they do little damage.

Main reason to keep them is we struggle to fill the guild, though we do average 42-45 members most of the time.

Thoughts?
  • Even a little hit is still a big problem. Let's say Someone does 2k during the zero damage period then clears during ffa when it's far he has done 2k more than someone that followed the rules and only posted a clear during far which means that they lock in a higher finishing rank.

    What the guild Im in has is a 0 damage rule for 24 hours, but level 79 and under can go for it if they’d like. But our guild only runs heroic rancor. With heroic aat it’s a free for all from the get go.

    We post rules right before the raid is activated for any new people. Any offenders are warned, if they do it again for fail to acknowledge in chat they understand, they’re booted during the raid so they don’t get any prizes


    We had a similar rule for a while, then we had someone come in and do over 2.5m damage, with the other little scores the Rancor was almost half over.

    Changed it to the new rule and he left soon after.

    With heroic rancor it has enough health levels 79 and under shouldn’t make too big of an impact. In any case, level 80 and above can enter the raid during the no damage phase and attack the guards so they don’t do damage to the captain. It’s usually only one character who is not well geared so they usually die before it’s their turn to attack anyways.

    After 24 hours, and officer posts in chat that we can attack. Then it’s a free for all. Usually done in 15-20 minutes, but even if you miss the window you can still get rewards simply by doing 0 damage.
  • Yeah, we had an 84 and under rule, the new guy was 82 and had a few decent teams.

    Do you do the same in Tank or is that fully open?
  • We are not yet able to do HAAT although it is our next aim, tried it twice but didn't make it past P1 the first time.

    Second try we got over halfway in P2.

    Getting close!

    For our test run we're going to see how far we get in nAAT with only 7 star characters without taking advantage of roster refreshes. We'll probably let it run for a couple days just so the 5 battle limit doesn't gimp us too much. If we do well we'll try HAAT; it should give us an idea of where we're at.

    If that's an idea you guys wanna try?


    Yes we talked about doing just that after our last attempt, I'm pretty sure we could clear NAAT in one day with a coordinated effort.

    We were naïve on our previous HAAT attempts, having phase clearing teams in normal were woefully underpowered in Heroic.

    A few of us are building up squads now, maybe get to P3 next time :)

  • Don't feel bad about kicking either. The way I see it they don't care about 49 other people in the guild. If they don't use out of app comms then put gold messages in the guild chat. Offer time for them to respond or acknowledge they've seen the messages.
    This game isn't for them if they never communicate

    Infinite amount of warning with no real consequence works wonders. I would try that.


    yeah my advice for all of your guilds is to free for all right away
