Daily Can't-Get-Into-a-Top-Dop-Guild-with-my-PC QQ
I had the same problem once upon a time, after i joined a guild in TBC that had M'uru and KJ on farm, I had to break down and finally buy a new pc.
And good to see you too Nick.
What exactly is vodka's schedule like during progression?
Yeah, my computer is a fucking piece of shit. I think I perform very well for my situation though.
I know you guys just farm one night and spend the rest on LK, do you run any old content? Do they actually supply you with food, enchants, gems, repairs, etc? I would imagine they could if they had people who would run shit to sell items to do this like some guilds.
How are 10 mans ran, just formed in guild chat?
I saw Killars posted they would sell a Mimiron's Head for 200K. Seems crazy steep which just means they A ) don't need cash, B ) are not running that shit ever again. I ask because I want one, can proelbay get one much cheaper though.
During progression the schedule is nuts. You're expected to take time off work and school if applicable because you know so far in advance when new content is coming. The first week of ICC hard modes we were putting in 10 hour raid days 6 days a week. However, our normal schedule for progression is 5-7 days from 7-11 est, but quite honestly it is rarely 7, and rarely 6. We usually have Friday and Saturday off even during progression, and sometimes Sunday as well. Most people in the guild work and or go to school. Right now, it's really lax like I said, 2-3 hours on Tuesday, I usually sit for most of the bosses because I really don't need much anymore, then we schedule LK for a convenient night of two later in the week.
The only old content we do right now is ToC HM 25 for a few reasons. Number one, we still have people that need trinkets for offspec. Number two the 272 cloaks are still very good, the armor pen one for example is still BiS for fury warriors over any of the 277's. We don't do Ulduar. The guild I was in previous to vodka (I've been a vodka member for about 5 months, before that I spent 3 years in the horde guild Gong Show (still a top 20 US guild) and left when their officers decided to xfer to Blood Legion).
We run 2 10 mans, each 10 man gets 3 groups of people that the officers split up and people switch in and out for bosses/achievements that they need. People don't really argue about raid spots or loot or achievements, we all know we're going to get it done eventually.
Our guild bank is stocked, not only do we get free repairs for raids, but we're allowed to repair outside of raids all we want. At the beginning of each raid week we all receive an in-game mail from the GM with consumables. Right now, every Tuesday in my mail i get 20x Flask of the Frost Wyrm 40x Potion of Wild Magic 40x Potion of Speed. Fish feasts are dropped by one of the officers at every boss, and enchanting mats are available from the gbank for free as well.
And ya, people in the guild vomit when they hear the word Ulduar these days, so the price would have to be very good for us to sell a head at this point I'm sure. I've had one for about 4 months now that I got in my old guild, it's way more awesome to ride in it as a Gnome than it was as a Troll

A: We raid a metric fuckton during progression.
Well, I get that, I'm just wondering if it's really 12+ hours a day.
Like, how many "weeks" = progression, etc.?
Our guild killed HM Saurafang and can't repeat it, I'm pretty sure after a few attempts they have it down period for good.
Our ICC HM progression took about four weeks. 9/12 the first week, and then 3 weeks later we killed Sindra and Putri on the same night. We made the mistake of thinking that Putricide would initially be easier, which it wasn't, and we ended up blowing a lot of attempts on Putricide wiping sub 5% a lot. We finally gave up after a full week of attempts on Putri and then 10 out of 20 the next week, and started working on Sindragosa, and we 2 shot her, lol. Then we walked over and manned up and killed Putricide, this is all before the zone buff came out mind you.
