Guild Wars 2, The Guild Drama

[Klazmaunt]

If a guild is so stuck up that they require rules like that, I don't see anyone flocking to join them. They're going against what the game wants to happen: community being built.

I'm in fact gonna go this far: if I join a guild, and they come up with that rule after the fact, my response will be "Peace out, yo" in guild chat, and then /gquit (or the GW2 approximation).

Exactly. It's extremely immature of any guild to ask something like that. Back to the sports analogy, it's like a team requiring you to sign a pact that you can't root for another team even if yours gets knocked out of the playoffs. Or root for another team in a separate sport in general. It's childish.

Some people will always want to empire build to stoke their epeen, they fear losing control.

I'm honestly convinced that control freaks are becoming more and more common as humanity evolves, and it is truly disturbing.

Vittoria agli Assassini!

If your guild is a fun place to be, and people enjoy it, you dont need exclusivity rules to keep people logging on and representing you.

You sir, get a cookie. I was just about to say that.

i smell templars... time to switch back to the original avatar?

[Kyulan]

Guilds are groups of people. I find it natural to belong to more than one group. If one of these groups say that they dont like you to play with others to me it sounds like kindergarten stuff.

See, free cookies would get me representing a guild....no need for "rules", offer incentives

Excellent. Everything is falling into place...

Many people want to be part of something (exclusive) , I wouldn't be so sure about people not flocking to it.

Drama doesn't come from a feature; it comes from dramatic people.

thanks for pointing that out very true.

gw2's system offers flexibility, that is all. If you want to represent one guild, thats fine, if you want to join 3, thats fine too. And guild leaders are free to make their own rules.

More like a Miami Heat fan, a Seattle Mariners fan and a Greenbay Packers fan.

maybe its just that you are a football fan, a baseball fan and a basketball fan? (getting a little lost with american sport metaphors)

Thus the point of the metaphor. Saying you can only be in one guild is like being told you're only allowed to watch one sport, despite being a fan of other sports.

Ah I suspected that was your point, but im from england, so didnt really understand it

You can be a fan of soccer, rugby, and hockey all at the same time!

Meh i don't see a problem here... people who support building a strong sense of reliability within their guild will join guilds/make guilds that have restriction rules. People who don't want have their wings clipped and want to freelance everywhere can join multiple guilds that DON'T have the rule... From what I've heard so far there will be both types of guilds so whats the point on saying the other isn't allowed? I personally will be joining a guild with restrictions because I like logging in and having a bunch of people who I can rely on and know me rather than a bunch of anonymous kiddies. However I see the benefits of having multiple guilds so I'm not going to say HURR MULTIPLE GUILDS IS FOR ANONYMOUS ASSHOLES but neither is saying HURR GUILDS THAT HAVE RULES ARE INFRINGING ON MY VIRTUAL RIGHTS LET ME CHEAT WHEN FOLLOWING EM... Simple fact is you join the guild you like and that fits your personal play style.

entertained you used miami heat in an example about loyalty after the whole thing lebron did just to leave Cleveland...

What the hell do I know about US Basketball teams. I used to about 15 years ago lol. I actually had to google the names . I was just trying to give an example that everyone would understand, thats all. ^^

OT: I thought writing in other languages besides english is restricted in these forums?

Aww, but it's a reference to Assassin's Creed. :<

It's just not the same if I say it in English.
