Fatherpois, leader of galactic scholars, and I had a little chat today, Keep in mind I'm a guildmaster. This is how it went as best as i recall.
Fatherpois: wanna join a better guild?
Me: No, I'm in one.
Fatherpois: wanna join a better one?
Me: I'm a guildmaster of my guild.
Fatherpois: well KoC sucks.
Me: shut up man, who are you anyway?
Fatherpois: Better watch out, I have an inside man in your guild and he's an officer, he'll delete you members.
Me: wow, Griefing is perma-bannable you know. Reporting you now.
Fatherpois: (goes on about his inside man and how he's got guys in 4 other guilds ready to delete at his command)
Me: thats all I needed to read. Sending a nice long letter to support about you.
Fatherpois: hahahahaha try it. *disappears*
So, all GM's careful who you promote, this guy is serious trouble and I hope he gets banned as soon as devs read his chatlog, BUT UNTIL THEN, BE CAREFUL GUYS!
I know you new gm's want people in your guild, and there's not many people that aren't in one already, but taking members from other guilds is considered very distasteful. If someone leaves on their own accord, fine, but I've had a few newer guilds now try to recruit me when I'm clearly a Knight, and had many complaints from my members about verbal abuse and threats for not joining a certain guild.
In Beta everyone respected each other for the most part that respect has been lost. KoC is tied closely with the other beta guilds and we keep tabs on other guilds and their recruiting procedures, and it's rediculous how many people are dealing with the same thing.
I can deal with the poaching, as someone who is willing to leave KoC after everything we've done for them and walk off with our gear on their backs is NOT knight material, and we'd prefer they left anyway, but to be threatened to have your months of hard work flushed down the toilet because you won't join some random guild is DISGRACEFUL and hopefully these troublemakers are dealt with.
This is a warning to all GM's of respected guilds: WATCH WHO YOU PROMOTE because there are guilds dedicated to dissolving the others. Keep an eye on Fatherpois, he was one I never expected this from. Now I feel I can't trust anyone besides my officers and a few choice members. You never know who could be waiting to get promoted just to delete your members. Please fellow GMs, exercise caution when promoting.
Thanks for reading.
EDIT: Removed a few comments said in the heat of the moment, it's only a few guilds that have been causing problems. And I don't mean pwnies, I already made peace with them.
