GRIP – Guild Recruitment Automation

Retail / Midnight 12.0.1+ · v1.5.4 · Localized (EN/DE/FR/ES)

Stop manually /who-ing and whispering one player at a time. GRIP handles the entire recruitment pipeline — scanning, whispering, inviting, and posting — so you can focus on running your guild.

What GRIP Does

Scan → /who for unguilded players, auto-expanding saturated brackets by class

Whisper → Queue personalized messages with multiple templates and sequential/random rotation

Invite → One guild invite per click/keybind (Blizzard-compliant hardware-event gating)

Post → Schedule Trade and General channel recruitment ads on a timer

Ghost Mode → Full pipeline automation via invisible overlay — scan, whisper, invite, and post all drain through a single hardware-event queue

Built for Safety

Guild leaders fear the Silence penalty. GRIP is designed around that reality.

Daily whisper cap with 80% warning — hard stop before you hit risky territory
Opt-out detection — "no thanks", "stop", profanity in EN/FR/DE/ES auto-blacklists the player
Invite-first mode — only whisper players who successfully received your guild invite
Account-wide blacklist — temp (auto-expiring) and permanent tiers, shared across all alts
Officer sync — guild officers running GRIP share blacklists and templates automatically via addon comms
No-response escalation — repeated ignores escalate from temp to permanent blacklist
Campaign cooldown — built-in break timer with soft warning and hard auto-pause
Execution gate — every whisper, invite, and post is checked against the blacklist at send time

Smart Filtering

Zone filter — expansion-grouped, dynamically populated from C_Map with seasonal zone detection
Race & class filters — target exactly who you want
Raider.IO integration — filter by M+ score when the Raider.IO addon is installed (optional, works fine without it)

Tracking & Stats

30-day rolling stats — whispers, invites, accepts, declines, opt-outs, posts, scans
Accept rate and peak hour analysis — know when recruitment works best
Performance profiling — /grip perf for baseline metrics

Sharing & Sync

Officer blacklist sync — set-union merge over GUILD addon channel (add-only, never removes)
Template sync — share whisper templates with last-writer-wins resolution
Clipboard import/export — encoded strings for cross-guild sharing

Important Notes

Hardware events: /who, guild invites, and channel posts require a mouse click or key press. This is a Blizzard restriction — GRIP queues the actions, you trigger them.
Guild Finder link: The {guildlink} token needs an active Guild Finder listing. Falls back to guild name.
Not affiliated with Blizzard. Use at your own discretion.
