I've met someone like this, He joined the guild i'm in and being the nice person i am i did a load of missions with him and gave him some decent equipment.. 2 days later he left for another guild.

seems they're after freebies which defeats the object of being in a guild.

At least this guy wasn't going around asking for donations to start his own guild. We've had a few people do that in ours.

The solution is simple. Kick the tard, and place him on ignore. The 2-step solution works every time.

EternalTempest · Oct 27, 2005, 03:41 PM // 15:41

Hard choice, let the guild suffer or risk losing your friend.
Other choice is to turn over leadership (completely - step down) to another person and let them deal with it / have them kick him.

Folks from our guild get lots of experience and often are ready to "graduate" to places less focused on PvP training and more focused on hardcore ladder climbing. When this happens we wish them well and try to keep in contact with them, sometimes they may come back and guest with us.

If they change their mind though, they are not often welcomed back with open arms. In this way we can be sure people have thought long and hard about moving on - and thereby avoiding lots of issues.

Our leader is afraid that if he kicks both these guys he???ll lose other members as well.
Now I hate to stand up and tell the leader it???s either them two or me (in which case a few others will also leave with me), but I see no other solution at this point. Though with the current leadership I wonder if the best course of action would be to stay myself.

Any guild leader that is afraid to rid their guild of a few bad apples isn't a good leader. And if he does stand up and boots the two members, anyone else that quits because of it doesn't deserve to be in the guild either.

To anyone who is in a guild that isn't so hot, or has problems like these. Hang in there, once you find a good guild it makes the game so much more fun.

one time my comp overheated in the middle of a GvG and i got kicked from my guild. so now i keep a small fan hittin the comp when im playing to prevent that from happening again.

Valium · Oct 30, 2005, 06:44 PM // 18:44

You guys think to hard!
Just ask yourself a few questions.

1. What does he have to offer to the guild?
2. Is he really the kind of person that you are looking for.
3. Does he use the shower more then twice a week?
4. Is a person like that really needed in a guild?
5. Friend or Foe. Useless = Useless.

Just very simple if you cant use them kick them, if you can keep them.
Nothing personal just business.

Mellia Darkstar · Oct 30, 2005, 11:23 PM // 23:23

OoO all so easy....
Another question to ask : that sounds honnest, I know him from the internet but is he really honnest...........

FalconDance · Oct 31, 2005, 09:56 AM // 09:56

We're a small (and I do mean small) guild who at this points only plays PvE. An individual had asked a gaming friend to invite him/her into our guild. He did and all was good for a day or so. Then that person dropped our guild. Two days ago, I logged on to find they had joined again with the sob-story to the guild member that they had 'accidently' dropped. Uh-huh. That evening, they asked the guildmistress to borrow 3K for armor and because we try to help each other out whenever possible, got it. Less than a half hour later, he/she whispered that they had 'found' their old guild and been invited to be an officer so they were leaving us *again*. To add insult insult to injury, he/she tried to convince our *guildmistress* to drop our guild to be officer there!

Yesterday I whispered asking when they planned to repay the gold they had borrowed before they had so conveneintly found the other guild. The answer was "when I get it"---maybe they could ask their new guild for it >.<

Samueldg · Oct 31, 2005, 03:32 PM // 15:32

when I started I got awed into a huge mucking guild with over 50 ppl.

I thought "hmm a lot of people means theres someone to play with all the time".
since I make friendships with online games ( still talk in chat with pals from d2lod, even have gone for beers with guys local from rogue spear) having a close knit group of people who are genuine is very important.

I was in that guild for a month, got promoted to officer, and hardly ever saw anyone but other officers on, when members logged on it was a beg fest wanting plat . items. even black dye... on occasion they would get X thing they wanted and log off promptly afterward or bitch about it not being availible and log off without ever putting up the effort to get it themselves.

this grated me, I wanted to gvg, pvp tombs, pve the missions .. basically get my money out of the game but the bulk of members wanted to chat in the hall or come in for a bit then leave ... never playing the game...

SO since I farm a lot and enjoy finding items ( I dont care I get excited about having a pile of stone summit badges) I started a guild. had a guy who was from another guild that was much like the old one I was in join up and the two of us started playing areas together, pvp is more for a laugh ( yea it would be cool to hold HOH but im not gonna loose sleep or rage over it simply due to running into 40 kids a day who like to talk as much crap as possible)

so having shared motivation wanting to find items, play all the different areas, gain a lot of faction. Farmers Coop [farm] was born.

we dont actively recruit, we dont spam our guild and beg for members, we play, in the course of playing we have came accross some good people and some not-so-good. one month later we are a grand total of FOUR people

who know eachother by first name, play 20+ hours a week minimum, do UW/FoW, hit the 4v4 arenas and farm damn near every spot in the game.

the moral of the story sometimes less is more... of course 8-12 solid ppl would be ideal but four seems to work just fine...

{IceFire} · Nov 02, 2005, 04:23 AM // 04:23

my guild's sad beginning story

We had around 12 members, and we were active, i bought a hall for us, and we did some GvG with a balanced build... All was good...

All of a sudden no one was on anymore except for about 4-5 people who are now my homeys (lol) in the game. I'm now starting to kick out all the non active members(4 weeks is too long)>_<

But, were not really recruiting but we really have fun farming(rite now im saving for fissure with one of my homeys(lol again) )

So, I've found that out of aroundevery 5 i recruit, i get around one member who sticks with us and becomes loyal and enjoys PvE and farming and doesnt want to OMG PWN IN HOH LOLZ!11111!1!11
