Is this a common guild rule ?
I know that some of you may be tired of my rants on the PvP personalities out there but I have become aware of something new which has me ever so closer to abandoning the game which I have so much to like. I have taken the advice I was given in previous posts when dealing with team stacking and other cowardly tactics used by certain people. I have had an opportunity, after receiving a friend request from one of what I considered the worst offenders and would normally just ignore the request but I am a very curious type and wanted to see what the guild was like. To say that I was shocked by what I learned would be a most gross understatement. I won't name this guild but let me say that the highly honorable Legolas is likely rolling in his grave (if they are buried) at his descendants despicable lack of sportsmanship. A Mr. "soul" is the "Master" of said guild appears to have declared "War" on fair play for the sake of what I cannot figure out. I was told when playing ctf that I was not to kill any of my guild mates to which I replied that if they on the opposing team I have to kill them, that is my job and I do it as best I can. I was then told if I did this repeatedly I would be booted from the guild. I am now having a hard time understanding how I am supposed to play the game in this new fashion and pick a glaring paradox that comes to mind and ask, so, if an opposing team member is heading into his base with the flag I cannot attack him an kill him to stop him from scoring???? To which I get the reply, that if my guild mate is on the opposite team, HE WON'T HAVE THE FLAG!!!! OK now my simple mind cannot grasp what in the heck is going on! So in terms of respect for my guild mate on the opposing team I am not supposed to make a play for the flag apparently. I hope I am not alone in thinking this is totally absurd and insane. Needless to say, I did not last long in the unmentioned guild an left before they had to boot me. Before I left I entered a match an saw that both teams had players from this guild and I thought to myself, I feel sorry for all the other players who have no idea what is going on behind their backs all the while this match is being played out. To me this kind of spoiled little baby behavior is nothing short of blatant cheating an I once again find myself wondering who these people are in real life. Many I assume are spoiled children whose parents have protected them from the reality in life that we don't always win, but surely out of close to 80 members (more in number but lots of alts, an by chance many have the word "punk" in the name, how befitting) there have to be a few adults (using the term loosely) who also partake in this revolting behavior. I guess it could be the parents of said "punk" children who have brought them up to win even if you have to cheat. My final statement is a question to all of you in the know, is this a common rule among guilds, are there many others who follow this pathetic strategy? If, to my dismay it is a common rule I don't know if I will ever be able to look at the PvP aspect of the game the same again.
