How I Accidentally Took Over A Top Guild in WoW

[@ThiVasss]

I kinda feel bad for the Guild Leader, so far it seems like he was a guy with good intentions just not competent enough or didn't put as much effort into the game. He didn't attack Muk, not on the raid or in the mail and gave his position so his guild could be in a better place. He should have been the guild manager and Muk the raid leader or something.

[@XBelknap]

It shows a snapshot of you leading a guild into a fight, freeze frame, record scratch, you narrating, “Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got into this situation.” Cue 80’s Music.

[@assero000]

You could say that it was... A guild war...

[@denikehi4579]

i want you to know you made it to my top 10 pun list and you won an actual applause from me. Very good 10/10.

Realock: This is my guild and here I. AM. KING. Muk: What is a king to a god?

[@gdiSeer]

Ah, guild mergers, they always go wonky in such interesting ways. It's like a universal MMO standard. As an aside, know how you can tell when someone's a good storyteller (e.g. Muk)? When a story is 10 minutes long and it only feels like a minute and a half went by. Great content/delivery as always, Muk!

[@RaviVemula2]

That post process on your voice for "good morning everybody" actually got me so good hahaha

[@Buraunia]

Editing skills 10/10.

[@mittensfastpaw]

I remember this and it was neat you helped them so much. Yet I couldn’t help but feel bad for that other guy as well.

[@efershadow3780]

Sometime a guild really have such 1 person standing behind a guild leader that is better than the guild leader but doesn't want to be the guild leader. They just want to command when fighting to get it done but doesn't want to deal with guild issue. I'm in a game now with such guild. One who is stronger/experience than the guild leader. But my leader doesn't mind. He just, oh you go ahead and command, I'll just laid back and follow along.😂

[@ThiVasss]

They should establish their roles, leadership can take many forms. If one is more experianced/competent and the other a better at handling internal systems, they can split into the Raid Leader and the Guild Manager.

[@efershadow3780]

But some guild can't establish roles like that, some fixated guild leader is the leader. And some guild leader can't accept rank lower than him/her better command. Like this encounter, the WoW leader must have thought "my face are all gone, I'm embarrassed infront of all my guild mates"

[@Haunting_Hyena]

There is a reason management is broken down into several sections

[@Moonwired]

I established a checks and balance system that has always worked really well, where one part of leadership is in charge of the administration, and another part is in charge of strategy and lineup.

[@Moonwired]

As someone who used to play wow and was a raidleader during that period, and currently plays gw2, i understood all those references! Man those days in retrospec, I had a lot of those whispered conversations, the drama. Good times.

[@Ashendal]

This feels like my WvW guild, except our leader doesn't quit while drunk. He just doesn't tag up anymore and let's the four of us that are much better at it just go for it while he manages the guild and makes sure the bank is always stocked with guild cata's.

[@eonaon6914]

If your a good boss/manager you let the assistants handle the small while you handle the overall direction. That lets everyone win.

[@NaoyaYami]

Yeah, nothing wrong with that approach. Leading a guild doesn't mean tagging up. That's why it's common in fiction (probably with some examples IRL as well) to see free-spirited leaders that are just charismatic and don't sweat the small stuff while it's 2nd in command that actually gives out proper orders and keeps people in line.

[@LittlePinkBowser]

And then you send a screenshot to your old guild showing that you are leader of it

[@Feom1234]

"Hey guys, so it's going well, I think they like me"

[@LittlePinkBowser]

In all honesty if I sent that screenshot my caption would be “oops”

[@R.senals_Arsenal]

I almost didn't click on this cause the Thumbnail did not make me think this was you, I had to read your name on it, and I did so cause I was like "who posted this?! And how am I subbed to them?" 🤣 But yeah, glad I finally did click, cool story! 😅

[@elementochannel6994]

I Love theses short stories

[@Riaining7]

I love story-time with Mukluk.

[@Goremize]

Guild mergers, always an interesting experience. Actually surprised it all happened with their Guild Leader away. But I will say one thing, I'm glad our bench people didn't just log off haha, they'd usually go and do something else while waiting for their turn, as we'd swap out classes depending on the boss in Rift/WoW, or swap out if someone needed to go. If you don't have a bench and someone leaves, that means that essentially your raid is down a person. :) Though that's experiences from being in a Oceanic first kill guild. Extremely stressful however. Honestly, its been so nice not having that stress in GW2. Maybe that is why I was so opposed to DE's existence. as "fun" as that kind of stress raiding was, I never want to do it again.

[@tuffigk8235]

I've known many Throg's. Epic storytime, awesome editing!

[@timberrecycling]

this is now my favorite muk story

[@christophermiranda1277]

LMAO! I was a WoW player, now a GW2 and these references are just too perfect! Thank you for the good laugh.

[@valfalos997]

3:00 DUDE that was me when I joined a random pug in GW2 and I joined the guild after on a whim(because apparently this was a guild raid I joined) and we continued to raid for like 2-3 years, I became the official raid lead in like a couple days and now we all quit the game but I still play with like 4-5 of my old guild mates and we are close friends to this day XD I just joined this seemingly random group and got in the voice chat and just started calling out mechanics and tactics because I was so used to leading PUGs up until this point like I got into raiding and raided for like half year purely in PUGs up until this point, most of which I lead because I just researched every fight and tactic in advance XD

[@JesseTribby]

Yeah this happened to me in OG WoW. We couldnt get past the first boss of Molten Core for weeks. The guild leader was ready to rage quit because we were all bad. I asked if i could raid lead for a couple pulls. We killed Lucifron on my first pull. Turns out we were just tanking him too close to the main raid group. Guild leader rage quit anyway. We went on to eventually down 3-4 Naxx bosses before BC. But being in charge sucks. The end.

[@amandahvizda5603]

Just found this randomly...and had no clue you were doing the youtube thing...this is Lucy you know from your original guild on Kirin Tor. You know the one who let you die on our first Illidan kill...cuz you are not prepared. I just had to post that...and yes we were sad when you left fyi... :p

[@MuklukYoutube]

Oh my god, yea I do remember how you claimed your blizzard was on cooldown as worms ate me LOL it’s so good to hear from you again!

[@TipYourtank]

This might be the funniest wow story I've ever heard. WP sir!

Happy to know ppl's good experiences with other amazing ppl. Even the former leader has a great spirit^^

[@dinabrown6529]

lol I have done that too, my old days of wow raiding has caused me to call stuff in gw2 raids when im not even the com lol

[@StrongzGame]

in BC i played for tempest keep and Black temple i use to mad as hell

[@Hard-Core-Gaming]

now I know what happend to our guild, you did well

[@TFalconwing]

The beginning of your story sounds eerily similar to the first day we did Ankka CM and I just took over shotcalling from the commander because I got tired of people dying to quaggans and krait...

[@Ashendal]

I still have to do that the few times I play north Drizzlewood as I generally only do south now that I finished with the infernal otter grind. The commanders, even ones that "know" the fight against the claw, apparently don't and most of the time everyone's constantly being blown off ledges.

Usually it's not people who are good at the game mechanically that start guild, but people good enough socially.

[@drdoctor9146]

I wonder.. After you took over the guild, did your guild continue to profit and get many more raid clears?

[@wolfinthedepths]

don't know if this was the guild Muk talked about but he's mentioned getting multiple server first clears with a guild in WoW, I'd say that's successful leadership

[@MuklukYoutube]

Aye, I lead that guild to multiple server firsts in Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm.

tbh, it drives me mad to hear muk´s shouts during fights. Good for learning an encounter watching videos, bad for gaming.
