Yeah casual guilds don’t really have those issues because the requirements for skill at low raid tiers are so lax. Honestly the game kinda lends itself to toxicity when you play in 25-man groups, and it only takes a single person messing up in a mythic raid to ruin the pull for everyone. When it’s like that, isolating the “problem” player is going to be pretty common, and people tend to be more elitist and toxic in general when they are hiding behind a computer screen.

That’s not to say a high level guild can’t be positive and supportive, though. One of the things I like about watching RWF is that most of the high level guilds seem to have such a tight bond, and they never point fingers over a single raid wipe. They’re all in it together and come up with ways to compensate for each other’s weaknesses. But it probably helps that every player is highly invested in playing absolutely perfectly, and I’m sure getting a guild to that point requires aggressively cutting out a lot of weak links along the way 😐

I got a little weird about House once the main cast got half swapped out, but by the end I came to terms with it and I think the show actually ended pretty solid

I used to have Paramount Plus for Big Brother before I got tired of it, it’s good for that “reality” genre. Also nice to have a news channel which is not an offering on the larger streaming networks.

Other commenters hit on the reasoning, just adding that they’re called highly composite numbers. My favorite!

Just curious, how does being in a Slack channel feel more like being controlled than being in an office?
