You know.. gearing people is not that hard. If you saw some potention in someone you simple take tank and heal from guild, and you run some dungeons with that players, 2h later with some luck BOOM 200-300gs more.
absolutly agree
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.
