It Killed our guild. Albeit I think it was on the decline already, but it was a significant push over the cliff. In Wrath, we ran two 10 man teams and a 25 man unit through the week on the off days of the 10 mans (which both ran concurrently) First the 25 mans went, then we were down to one 10 man, now, it's a surprise if we have enough to raid. Other factors have contributed as well, like the announcement of Kung-Fu pokemon, erm Mists of Pandora expansion coming up next, announcing to us that the game is going in a direction not for most of our members (adults), but those were just re-enforcing factors to the guild changes as a whole. but hey, they gotta do what works for them as a whole, and I don't begrudge it. I just play other games now.

I am deeply offended (not really) by the implication that adults can't/shouldn't like kung-fu pandas or pokemon or Mists. If it's not your cup of tea, fine, but please don't try to claim that the reason some people dislike them is because they're "adults."

... or maybe that IS your reason, but that reason only applies to your personal definition of what an adult is.

P.S. - I'm going to see Beauty and the Beast 3D tonight. With friends, not with kids. It's going to be awesome.

I still find it mildly hilarious and mostly pathetic that there's such an outcry over pandas and pokemon.
If you played the RTS, then you would know one day the pandas would be coming.
And as far as wow pokemon, which is no viable reason for your guild to be suffering as it hasn't been implemented yet, it is another aspect of the game separate from raiding or questing or pvp or 5 mans or anything else you choose to do. Does your ability to raid rely on your ability to cook at a 525 skill level?
I just wish people would understand how dumb they sound when they complain about stuff being implemented that's completely optional and has no bearings on anything else game related.
