For example, the Stormwind Guard type of guild might appropriately do active recruiting because the Guard really would actively recruit if they need more guys to stand on Stormwind’s street corners. Similarly, a Sentinels guild shouldn’t be afraid to actively recruit.

Of course, it comes with risks, when the wrong type of character or personality tries to join, but that’s where a careful process of RP-oriented screening can (no guarantees) help head off initiating members who just don’t fit.

Guilds such as the Netherbane, demon hunters who must stay quiet because they are essentially shunned by all of Azeroth’s heroic societies, definitely can’t and shouldn’t actively recruit, at least IC. But at the end of a day, a guild must have members, RP or raiding. I agree that the best way for quieter organizations like them and the WFR to gain members is to just be a presence on their server. To be involved and involve others in their stories.
