Yup, thats the best way to get loyal members. Those that bribe for members are basically saying "hey join my guild for two seconds and ill give you a large sum of money, even though after u get the money theres a good chance u'll leave and go about your day", which would be why i dont recruit like that :)

I think it is a bit much too. There might be a misunderstanding in what a guild is. It isn't a race to gain the most members. There is no prize for having 200+ members and as Orcish said it makes things harder to control when the guild is too big.

Honestly Apollo, everytime I see that I feel proud of our guild. It amuses me more than it annoys me to tell you the truth. Although, that could be because I got used to the continous spamming in cs, that always has been there. To me it's just some more of the same 'background chatter'. I often find it hilarious to read what people do to get members, or how they advertise their guild in game. If I'm bored, sometimes it can truly amuse me what people type.
But yeah, I can imagine it can also get annoying, but I'm hoping that it will slowly die, or at least become much less. Guilds are fairly new, so everyone seems to want one. I think that spamming to join guilds will become less and less over time :)

The advertising is pretty annoying. I see people all the time going "JOIN MY GUILD!! FILLING UP FAST GET YOUR SPOT NOW HURRY HURRY HURRY" when there are so many people going "I need a guild, please invite me". It annoys me. My Ignore list is growing...

Annoyances:
Constant spamming public chat.
Spamming everyone in town with invites.
Members of two or more guilds getting into a, "Our guild's better!" "Not! Ours is!" "Isn't!" argument in public chat. My favorite is when it gets to the, "I'm gonna tell So-and-So and you're gonna be in Big Trouble!" I'm not sure what So-and-So can do, really; barf on their feet? Challenge them to a duel? Both simultaneously? Dunno.
PMs telling me how much better their guild is than the one I'm in and wouldn't I like to join and not taking a polite, "Thanks so much, but I'm happy where I am. :-)" as the final answer.
