But ... I recruited players who had gone out and farmed every piece of gear they could get on their own. It is a requirement for raiding in our guild, that they've farmed all those pesky badges, leveled tailoring or whatever they needed, to achieve the best they could, on their own.
Guilds that wipe on Gruul are generally filled with players who expect their gear to come from drops off bosses. If you can change their thinking on this point, maybe they have a chance. If not, gear yourself out, the best you can, and start guild shopping.

This is problem I'm starting to find in general. New 70's trying to move from greens to purples or PVP gear to PVE gear by running KARA repeatly and not bothering to get any of the Blue items that are sole/group quest rewards. I think we all know that some of the Blue items can be better for pve and most of the purple pvp gear I see on players these days. In my previous guild, before it folded, I searched wowhead.com for any all the items that I would need pre-kara, and some of them are ridiculiously easy to get, I don't see this anymore. Grom's axe comes to mind. I rarely see proc warriors using this item anymore. (author note: I have nothing against pvp gear - I use one to two items myself while tanking).
In any event, we had a bit of guild drama last week between the GL and few members and few of our healer's left. We end up trying a duel guild raid last night on Lurker and hydros. Our GL ended up annoying the other GL so much the other GL quit the raid.
And that pretty much made up my mind about my future with this guild.
Thank for all your helpful advice. I think I'm going to take summer break from raiding.
