After much debate... I think we almost didn't?

There was more to it than raiding with that other guild, there was an influx of people who wanted to join the guild but couldn't because the shard was locked. The three reasons we went to Three Springs, from what I heard and from most important to least, were accepting people to the guild, to raid with the other guild, and to escape from Seastone.

Yes this is correct. I wouldn't have moved us just for the raiding group, since there was no assurances of how many raiding spots we would even get. Also, haven't we already progressed past where the other group was? I think even undergeared goons were better.

WHAT YOU SAY
I've been leveling mostly through PvP and I have quite a bit of favor saved up. I'm only level 43 and I was wondering if I should buy some gear or just stock pile it for endgame.

To be honest I haven't done any reading on how to gear at max level or what endgame even looks like in this game. Is there some other currency that makes this one obsolete? Or am I going to have some nice gear the second I hit 60.

they stopped raiding entirely. their (old) maintank stayed on faeblight and without hedo & i they were facing building a raid core all over again, and since most of them were on the verge of quitting anyway (even when they were raiding with us) they just decided to stop raiding.

anyway i'm overseas most of this week so i will probably miss guild raids; if someone is setting up an alt ft/ee or tdq run hit up exmilitary@greybriar if you need a dps/tank warrior.

Just note that when they are talking about marks they are talking about before they multiplied everything so when they say 4 marks a day they actually mean closer to 400.

salvarola is currently the hardest boss in the game because of an extremely hard dps check and moderately hard movement mechanics, followed by hardmode gelidra/kain and ultane. i'd say at least half of those wipes, if not more, (at least in my experience) would have been during the third phase (50%-10%).

Pre-60, the PVP weapons seem to be pretty much BiS for about 7 levels. Save up/get the mats for all the crafted endgame gear on page 50. I wear the crafted gear w/ PVE chest & shoulders, and swap out the PVP chest and melee weapons for warfronts. Still working on gear for the non-crafted slots.
