We No Getting Started Guide

This guide was adapted from the We Know version but is different in some areas, especially looting - if you are coming from We Know, please be sure to read this for the differences.

We No is "No Drama" guild. We have worked very hard to maintain a civil, drama free environment. Members who are seen to be causing drama within the guild maybe be asked to leave or removed if officers decide that is needed.

Looting - For basic (5 man) instances please understand that you can click the little "x", the "greed" button or the "need" button when a group is looting an uncommon item. The "x" means pass. NEVER click "need" without asking the rest of the group first. Click "greed" if you want to disenchant or sell. Pass if you don't want it or want to be nice to others in your guild. Rolling "need" when you don't need something is the easiest way to get kicked out of a group and hated. Ask if you have questions. The loot rules become more complex when you enter higher level instances. If you don't understand the rules, keep asking until you do. If you are looking for a specific item, let everyone in the party know before you begin so that you can click "need" when it drops. If you win an item that you clicked "need" on you must use it right away. Do not loot until all the killing is finished. For more details, or for 10 man instance rules please read the We No instance Rules.

Don't Beg - People will give you stuff in our guild and will help you with quests. However, if they're busy or helping someone else, you might not get help right away. It's OK to ask if anyone wants to help you with something, but don't keep asking over and over. Don't beg for gold in guild chat, especially if you've just joined the guild. And really don't beg for gold in general city chats. If you've been recruited to the guild, the person who recruited you is your "sponsor". If you're level 1 and need some stuff to get started, the recruiter should be able to give you some gold or find someone who can. As you play the game and build your reputation inside of the guild, you will find that people will help you more and more. It's not that people don't like helping new players. It has more to do with investing a lot of time helping someone that may not stick around.

This goes for groups and instances as well. Ask in Guild chat if there's something you need to do, or use the Looking For Group channels. Do not beg random people in cities to run you through instances. This is considered pushy and rude and will reflect poorly on the guild. Also, as a guild we do not condone powerleveling.

Talk - There are a small number of personalities that tend to get more than their share of airplay on guild chat, but one of the keys to getting to know people is to talk on guild chat and don't be afraid. If you're new, you may find that people don't respond to everything you say since many people are scanning for comments from people they know. Don't be discouraged. Ask for advice and let people know what kind of person you are. However, be careful not to be rude, don't "attack" people, watch your language... use common sense. If another player gives you advice about your behavior, listen and think about it before arguing. If you have a question directed at an individual, use /w <name> and whisper it instead of using guild chat.

Group - Group with other guild members. This is the best way to get to know people and build trust. Many very strong relationships are built between players who group together when they are lower level. Finding a few people at your own level to quest with regularly will greatly enhance the game and also help you get through the tough parts.

Activity - In efforts to have a guild that is filled with active members, you must actually play your horde character to be in the guild. After 14 days of in activity accounts will be demoted to veteran, and after 30 days will be removed from the guild. If you are going to be inactive for an extended period of time and wish to remain in the guild, simply let an Officer know ahead of time.

If you are playing a new class, feel free to ask higher lvl guildies of that class for playing advice.

If you want xp from grinding/killing, group with people your own level or your xp rewards will be low. If someone high level is going to help you have them help you with quests. The best quests to do with help are quests where you have to kill bosses or kill some number of a particular monster/mob. Be careful of grouping with too many people for quests where you have to collect items that drop off of mob since you will progress that much slower. The general thing to remember is that there are several times as many quests than you need to get to level 60. You don't have to do them all. Doing quests quickly is a much faster way to level than grinding through mob (although some people may disagree with this.) The main thing to deal with is your quest log getting full. Clear the main quests in an area, move to another area, clear the quests there, etc.

One last note on quests. You can look this up on the web and I'm too lazy right now to find you the link, but there are several long quest chains (the first one you encounter is the Defias chain.) Make sure you do the important ones. The Onyxia chain that starts with Dragonkin Menace in Burning Steppes is the beginning of a very important chain that ends up in a raid to kill one of the baddest bosses on Azeroth. There are sections of all of these chains where you just travel and travel. Save these parts for when you're along with no friends to play with.
