Question 1

Why is Throney better than Google Sheets for guild management?

Accepted Answer

Spreadsheets require manual data entry for everything - gear, attendance, DKP. Someone has to update cells after every event. Throney automates all of this: screenshot upload for gear, voice channel capture for attendance, automatic DKP calculations. Officers spend time leading the guild instead of updating spreadsheets.

Question 2

But spreadsheets are free. Why pay for Throney?

Accepted Answer

Spreadsheets cost officer time. If your officers spend 20 minutes updating sheets after every event, that's hours per week of unpaid work. Throney's $7.50/month buys back that time. Most guild leaders find the automation pays for itself in the first week.

Question 3

Can I import my existing spreadsheet data to Throney?

Accepted Answer

Throney doesn't have a direct spreadsheet import, but starting fresh is easy. Have members upload gear screenshots (populates instantly via AI) and start logging attendance from your next event. Within a week, you'll have better data than your spreadsheet ever had.

Question 4

What if I need custom tracking that Throney doesn't support?

Accepted Answer

Throney covers the core guild management needs: gear, attendance, DKP, war parties, and rosters. For edge cases, some guilds run Throney alongside a minimal spreadsheet for custom data. But most find they can retire their sheets entirely.

Question 5

How much time does Throney actually save?

Accepted Answer

Typical time savings: Attendance logging goes from 10-15 minutes to 10 seconds (one command). Gear tracking goes from 'members forget to update' to 'always current via screenshots'. DKP calculations go from formula maintenance to automatic. Most officers report saving 2-4 hours per week.

Question 6

What happens to my spreadsheet when I switch?

Accepted Answer

Keep it as a historical archive if you want. Some guilds run both in parallel for a week to verify Throney captures everything they need. After that, the spreadsheet usually gets retired. No need to delete it - just stop updating it.
