I just saw that part of his post because you replied to it, klemmy. Guess I skimmed over it. :D
But yeah, that's the sort of thing I do with my guildmates on retail. Or the people we recruit. In the past month, I've recruited 4 people for mythic raid. I've helped carry them through dungeons and raids to get them geared up, and it's worked wonders. They've gone from fresh-level-100 gear, to raid-ready gear in a matter of 2 weeks. And by now, they are competing with me and other core raiders in performance. It's really nice. And having helped these players start out from 0 increases our chances of keeping them as long-term raiders, too, as helping out people like this usually gives them some sense of loyalty & friendship to the people who helped them.
