To the Guild

[Azael]

we have a problem

We have an issue

We need a solution

Although this guild may be family, and may be friends, I'm going to have to ask that everyone look beyond that. Whether you're here for a family or here for a friend, I'm not. Constantly I'm told "You're the Leader" so if I'm the Leader, why isn't this guild the way I envisioned it to be when I created it?

It's time to really give you the way that this guild has to be. Firstly, the Members are going to have to learn to compromise their time. Not even only what you do here, but sometimes when you can be here. To really improve this guild, we need a better guild rank. No a guild is not only about GvGing and Rank, but that is a fundamental part of any guild. If we get into the top 1000, we at least become known to the other Guilds, we move onto the Ladder, we have a real right to be proud.

I would say I'm sorry to do this, but I'm not. Many people, including Officers are unhappy, stressed, complaining about how things are going, so here's pretty much what I've been forced into doing.

Within the next three days, any Officer who does not reply to this post will be demoted, any member who does not reply to this post will be kicked, regardless of who you are (Exemptions will apply with very valid reasons only).

GvG and HoH times will be set up in special posts in the respective boards assigned to them. Want to run a team? Post it on the forums for HoH. For GvG, I will be posting times that I will be here to GvG. I will be here at those times, half an hour before those times, and for up to an hour after those times. Considering the amount that I do for the Guild and the amount of time I spend trying to organise things, I'm expecting people to compromise with me a little. The Guild needs you right now, and if you care, you'll respond to that call.

There are some members I can count on, some Officers I can count on, but right now I'm being let down a lot, the Guild as a whole is being let down a lot. I'm not here to order you all around and make you do what I want, the Guild shapes itself, and I'm here to guide that shape to ensure everyone is happy.

This Guild will not stay together for much longer if we cannot work together, compromise and ALL do our parts to make it work. Until this guild is running smoothly and until we are out of the woods, I'm going to also be keeping a note of who I can rely on and who I can't. People who I can't rely on multiple times, for no reason other than they can't be bothered or would rather do something else when the Guild NEEDS them, will be kicked from the Guild.

I don't have time to beat around the bush with you all, this Guild will work, and as much as I hate to enforce this so harshly, I am not sorry to do so.

[Azul]

I haven't been in GW a lot recently, but give me a poke in MSN or Yahoo and I'll come. Homework and such has been getting in the way, but I'll try me best to help out.

[dan seven]

i no longer feel i can actively contribute to this guild whilst following the path in the game i wish to.

Now i am fully recovered and back in the full schedule of work and play my time on guild wars is much more precious than in the past, so i either have to be more selfish with my time and look after my needs or sacrifice what i want for the benefit of others. The later is not something i am prepared to do.

I want to achieve in pvp more and more, i want to learn and experience new styles of play and this can only come from playing with people of a greater level of expertise. I want to be on teams where i am the least experienced to quicken this learning, and the guild currently cant offer me that.

So is it better i look to move on or stay and not contribute? well theres only one answer.....time to go.

Now i have been totally frank surrounding my reasons for calling it a day, theres no hidden meaning, there`s nothing to read between the lines....

i don't feel i need to post a load of thanks and "i love you's" because my reason has nothing to do with any bad feelings or malice. i have had great times with people from this guild from the early days of spiking with jon and saara through to present day and i don't see my why feelings towards the people i have met should have changed..... and they haven't

so it is a farewell to the guild i say, not to its members, thx and take care

[Aja-tastic]

Mhmm...well on that note. I'll be taking an extended hiatus from Guild Wars as a whole. I've come to realize that games are supposed to be FUN. Guild Wars hasn't been fun in some time. I do think it's possible to have a well organized successful guild AND have fun, but that is a balance that hasn't been met in this guild, on either end of the spectrum.

If you guys ever want to goof off and laugh and have fun like we used too, ya'll know where to find me.

[Demonique]

To be honest? I find I'm not having fun as I used to either. I miss it.

I'm currently wrking on two accounts, not that it matters much but it still doesnt change the fact that the fun is gone. The whole thing with gaming is supposed to be fun and its lacking sadly.

People want to GVG and HoH and I'm finding it more of a chore lately. People need the skills, the runes and there isnt the want to actually PVE through the game, to wade through the boring missions like we used to. The need to fight through the monotonous quests like we used to.
That's where the fun was, no matter how much of a drag it might be. The dying over and over, the laughter...its all gone.

I'm finding that I'm preferring to either run on my own away from it all, or just watch tv and that's the saddest part, because other people are suffering ie: The Guild.

So you want to be an Officer?
If you felt like I do right now about it all. You really wouldnt.

You guys know where to find me. I'll be more than happy to add some laughter when the fun starts happening again.

[mastpsycho6]

OK Thats Fine i kinda like the family thing but i will be more serious

[diabloservant666]

I have just recently begun playing again i was addicted to Halo for quite some time but i found i was getting kind of bored of it the fun isn't gone for me since i took a break but when you make a strict curriculum for gvg'ing and PvP'ing and not letting you fight is just taking the fun away my old guild was just unbridled fun and joy but this guild seems to be lacking in fun and i'm not the only one feeling it smash you head i find is the only one its fun to play with or talk too i know what we really need is more enthusiasm

[LuckyNv]

Hi Gang,
I agree with Saara that the ganging up and wading through the missions to help someone bring their latest build experiment through the levels was a blast!! I sure as hell would not have got as far as I did with the help from my fellow guild members. Even the the early GVG was a blast because we had no clue, we just went in and opened a can of you know what. I have had a forced hiatus due to work and moving house but now am settled and have a new job that should give me more time to play. If anyone wants to try and kill all the charr in that great northern wall mission let us know. Can't wait to meet all the new guildies and catch with old running mates.
Cheers Adrian in Oz
