Team Everfrost recruiting??? :S - Guild Wars Forums

Odinius · Apr 03, 2007, 12:41 PM // 12:41

Ok so they won the tournament, I mean well done guys gratz.
But yesterday I saw members from Everfrost recruiting ppl with a rather awkward phrase "Join Team Everfrost, gold cape trim 100k a month"
100k a month?! what's that about eF?

Guildmaster Cain · Apr 03, 2007, 12:51 PM // 12:51

Or it was some imposter trying to haggle money from stupid people that actually care about gold trims.

A former guildie of mine got invited into EW, just by pure luck after he helped some of them. This is the way the 'big' guilds should and probably are recruiting. If one of the top-ranked guilds would be recruiting like above mentioned, they wouldn't last long I think. You need a strong active but small base with people that know eachother well. Big guilds are just full of spammers and opportunists.

yeah I saw it as well in temple of balthazar.. I added the advertising guy to my party and he had the gold trim and its kinda of sad that they do this sort of thing..

When i first saw [puff] doing it in HA for 10k it was stupid.. but 100k is not even worth lol'ing over..

Bankai · Apr 03, 2007, 01:03 PM // 13:03

They need money for sigils.

That's all.

dont care if they needed the money for 50 tormented shields... still think its lame and not something a respectful guild would do

milkflopance · Apr 03, 2007, 01:21 PM // 13:21

I've been seeing guys from eF doing this everywhere recently, especialy in Kamadan.

elektra_lucia · Apr 03, 2007, 01:23 PM // 13:23

Look up the word respect. You'll see your post is completely illogical.

1) If they've worked hard for their cape and you don't know exactly how hard, how could you 'relate to' them anyways? For the majority, most people won't have a clue of how hard they worked. So they can't be respected anyways, people can only try to understand.

2) For the few who DO understand, I'm quite sure they've been tempted by lots of money.

3) It's not recruiting in the sense they play, they're just paying for a cape.

4) Do you think they care whether or not they have your respect? Stoned Phillips from Magic School Bus once gave me some good advice (maybe I'm not taking it, as I'm posting here

). Just play the game. Who cares what others are up to, really?

5) If it's not against the EULA - then what is the problem? Repeat, who cares? If people are dumb enough to waste their money like that, let them - no?

CR3AT0R · Apr 03, 2007, 01:31 PM // 13:31

Well i know that PUFF are just recruiting cos the are gonna reform and change the name, i was doing some ha with somone from PUFF and thats what he told me. I think its kinda lame but what ever

The Bloodrose · Apr 03, 2007, 01:36 PM // 13:36

I think something should be done about that. What is up to Anet, but something should be done. Just my 2 cents.

Cracko · Apr 03, 2007, 01:37 PM // 13:37

Theyre making money, and some good money too!

a) and I suppose you saying that means that YOU understand and can 'relate to' how hard they worked.. lol are you in their guild/alliance?

b) [friendly advice] dont go saying things like 'most people wont have a clue' its an invite to those people giving back negative replies..

c) why cant we respect a guild anyways? ppl in my guild think Esoteric Warriors are a good guild and have high respect for them..

d) woopty doo [eF] or [puff] dont care if we dont respect them anymore.. so? fact of matter still remains that it looks dumb selling invites for membership

Knightsaber Sith · Apr 03, 2007, 01:42 PM // 13:42

We already have a thread discussing this practice in the guild section, we don't need another thread on it!

Kas · Apr 03, 2007, 01:47 PM // 13:47

One thread? There are like 10 threads about the different guilds participating in this. And it seems more are joining the bandwagon by the hour :P

I understand about competition in games and as for what I was saying. My point was vey clear. You didn't need to question it. I'm not in their guild. Been in Alliance. Regardless, you fail to see the point.

I'm arrogant. Keep it in mind because then you won't be making statements implying I care what someone thinks of me. Really, insult and be negative. I do not care. Nice you base your post around the personal. Mine was general.

To be able to respect you have to be able to relate to them. Kind of being on the same 'wave length' so to speak.

d) woopty doo [eF] or [puff] dont care if we dont respect them anymore.. so?

Well, I was commenting on your statement :

This one. So why you have said 'so' is beyond me, really it is; however, I don't wish for you to explain either. So please don't.

Now please quit the personal questions it'll just end up in flame. I'm right in what I said. My only questions were rhetoric; therefore, what I've said needed no reply especially as I was right.

Avarre · Apr 03, 2007, 02:00 PM // 14:00

There are other threads, where the intent is explained.

This isn't even a new occurance, it's happened for a long time - generally a way for PvP'ers to produce extra in-game money for their PvP achievements.

I'd have closed this, but it got moved. To an area that has existant threads.

Yawgmoth · Apr 03, 2007, 02:06 PM // 14:06

[puff] was doing it because they are LOSING their silver trim in the coming days.

Now [eF] is a more interesting case. No imposters, it's real eF guys doing that. And that such a shame. We'll be having a bunch of pve n00bs running around with gold cape just because they paid for it. If they're not kicking them for no reason later, then selling invites is a completely legitimate thing but it feels so dishonorable.

Knightsaber Sith · Apr 03, 2007, 02:08 PM // 14:08

By the way, someone posted a screenshot on AMP. It seems now they have two payment options. 100k per month or 400k for permanent membership.

Superdarth · Apr 03, 2007, 02:21 PM // 14:21

That will net them the absolute worst of Guild Wars.

I think its quite obvious they arnt REALY looking for members, they are looking for money.

I do by the way think that in doing this one half wont care about them anymore and the other half are the kind of idiots to join them, and there is NO EXUSE for this sort of thing.

Knightsaber Sith · Apr 03, 2007, 02:23 PM // 14:23

Yeah, basically they'll just keep to their small inner circle and everyone else is just a source of income and wont get to participate in GvG or anything.
