If this is the only change, then why the hell does my updater complain about disk space:
Space available: 1,462,200k
Space required: 1,740,800K

That's right, 1.7GB :|

because they could be putting out a patch that says something like: "fixing the plumbing in stormwind" or something and that would take about 20gigs, and make the merchants really hard to catch, cause every 15 minutes, they would be at the bathroom...thank god i am a undead, and were past using the bathroom
WoW Reader?

Works for me... In my opinion, any guild that advertises for members isn't worth joining, so being able to block them all out will be great.

I am not really "for" guild advertising, but I would rather have some guy advertising his guild in the General/Guild Recruitment Channel and not just randomly whispering people to see if they would like to join... Also... if someone sends a guild invite out of the blue it is an automatic "no".

I have NEVER asked to join a guild just because of the name or the amount of people in the guild. For that matter, I have never ASKED to join a guild.

The more people in a guild makes the guild hard to control, and just because Guild X has 150 members... and Guild Y has 15... doesnt mean Guild X is a better guild.

Hell... I even made my own guild so I wouldnt be bothered with guilds trying to get me just because I was a Warlock and/or a Druid.

Back to the reply... You dont advertise and you dont get people... and I really dont understand how NOT advertising will get your guild new members (that are worth anything).

5 Million(ish) players + Word of mouth + Thousands of active guilds = Disappointment somewhere... (and that is why they made /gquit)

note: somewhere above there was a point, but dont ask me where. :P

Trust is an important factor to me. The way you get good members without advertising is by recruiting people you know well or have had good experiences grouping with (or accepting recommendations from current members who know or had good experiences with the person).

Any time you start advertising something like, "Looking for a good guild? Such-and-Such has x number of members and everyone helps each other, etc." you're basically picking up random people you know nothing about.

In the first scenario, you can trust a guildmate because they're a guildmate -- you have faith that no one would intentionally let a scammer or ninja into the guild. In the second scenario, you cannot trust any guildmate you don't personally know -- they're random people off the street.

It's not about size -- you can have a tiny or huge guild and still be a great guild either way. It's about what kind of people you recruit.

I mean, 2 of them are by and large irrelevant to most users (ie. Guild Recruitment & the timing thing which doesn't sound like a major bug).

1.9.3 managed to completely ***** up Feign Death for hunters who were levelling, I wonder what this one will do?
