Stop talking about "You don't want this game to become like wow." This game has existed for 8 years now, 11 counting 1.0. It has its established community culture at this point and it was influenced by wow from the very design document. You're not our wisened savior come from an aging land.

Second, for my static that will be meeting for several hours a week (we're at 40+ hours this week, almost killed 4s), I reserve the right to deny potential members for any reason. Don't like your attitude? Denied. Don't like your glam? Denied. Decide based on your log history you're not worth gambling on as a good fit for my group? Denied. This works as much to the other party's benefit too, they don't end up with any filthy toxic elitists who don't play with their same mindset, so they can continue holding up their noses whenever parsing is brought up in polite society.
