I've been thinking of joining a leveling guild to level my rogue and get better gear. But where can you find any? I'd also like to level players lower than me when I have time. I've also looked in the official Blizzard forums and there's not much there. If there are any out there please list them, thanks.

More Ganking
My partner in crime (rogue) wasn't satisfied with just ganking in Redridge and Duskwood, so we trekked over to Arathi Highlands. He'd already started ganking, but couldn't find anyone else to gank, so off to Wetlands we went. We journeyed north and west past the murlocs when we found a lonesome mage (28) by a bridge. We waited for a bit just to be sure he didn't have some stealthed body guard and pounced on him. A bit south we stumbled upon a warrior (30) and he was AFK as well. As they say, "It's like shooting fish in a barrel". Nobody to be found in the excavation site or orc area.
So back to Arathi Highlands...
We discovered a druid (cat form) killing some mobs around Northfold Manor. We waited for her to attack a mob and then jumped her. On the way back to Hammerfall we found a gnome warrior killing a plains creeper. This almost ended in him getting away, because I didn't get my ambush off at the right time, plus the other rogue hit slice & dice instead of eviserate :).
Just when we thought we were done we see a draeni shaman (37) and night elf rogue (41) killing some water elementals by the Circle of East Binding. This time I sapped the stealthed rogue and took out the shaman. Right after the sap expired, my partner vanished, but I proceeded to wail away at the night elf. My partner then unstealthed and joined in the melee. I eviserated after 3 combos and that made the night elf weak, so she bolted and turned on sprint. I chased her by activating my sprint, but she was just out of reach for my backstab, so I distracted her and then she was mine. We wailed on her some more and then an undead warrior (40) showed up and joined in as well. All cheered and danced after the victory and then we logged out at Hammerfall.
Ganking
I grouped together with my usual buddy (a rogue) in Duskwood. The rogue just wanted to get revenge, who was ganked/camped by allies in Hillsbrad & Ashenvale (with his alt character).
The rogue had already started to gank before I met up with him. I guess he had alot of pent up anger :). So we ventured the south side of Duskwood before heading north, nobody to be found. We decided to go to Redridge and found our first victim. A level 16 mage was killing murlocs under water in Lakeshire. We waited for him to cast frost nova and then cheap shotted & ambushed him. We searched around and found a mage (18) and warlock (18) questing together. Once again we 1 - 2 punched them. After celebrating our ganks we stealthed and couldn't find anyone else to grief so we proceeded back to Duskwood.
Around the cemetery in Duskwood a hunter was questing along with a AFK warlock. We split up again and took them out fast. The hunter resurrected pretty quick and was back to his quest. We spotted a druid in cat form questing in the same area and didn't notice the ganking going on? Anyways we circled around the cemetery and waited for the druid to unstealth. Well she unstealted while talking to an npc to turn in a quest. Slash & bonk, lights out for her.
We couldn't find any other allies questing so we called it a night and logged off.
BG Weekend and Grouping
So my weekend started off well getting all of my Arathi Basin games in to get these great boots. The next day wasn't so great, I wasted about 4 hours in Maraudon with 4 other people, but didn't complete the Corruption of Eath and Seed.
The party was made up of a warrior (47), Hunter (49), Shaman (48), Rogue (47) and myself (49 - leveled to 50 in the dungeon).
We did pretty well killing all of the bosses, up to the princess and only wiped once. Just before the last battle began, we were discussing strategies and what to watch out for when the warrior pulls a Leroy Jenkins. It didn't last too long and the warrior died first, then me and everyone else ran. Little did we know that the boss doesn't lose aggro! So, eventually the princess killed everyone. After resurrecting we noticed that the mobs had respawned. That was the last straw and everyone started to leave.
The hunter (leader) blamed the warrior for the wipe (and other tanking issues like not holding aggro) and the other rogue for attacking the ice trapped mobs. Even though they did make mistakes I tried to play the embassador to keep the group together.
The next day, I found another group for Maraudon that just wanted to kill the last boss (perfect I thought). I made my way to the dungeon portal and then stealthed past the respawned mobs. I met up with the 2 other party members who were just sitting in the water by the hydras. One party member was AFK outside of the portal and the other was in the Hinterlands. Well after the AFK person came back online, he couldn't make it past the mobs and left the group, then 2 others and finally myself and another rogue.
Basically I wasted another afternoon running around and achieving nothing. And before that I waited around for a group for Zul'Farrak.
After all of that I decided to quest for a bit and forget about grouping. Now I'm half way to 51. Sheesh.
