He hits so many right cords with casual player that its almost scary. When I started WoW (very late, 6 months ago) I met ninjas right at the beggining of the game, in DM and Stock. Luckily I also met couple of people around lvl 25 that helped me and explained things to me. One of them was priest that was in hardcore raiding guild, but I met her while she was playing her twink alt. Later on she offered me entry into this guild, but also started explaining to me what I need to do, dkp, key to kara, raiding from-to, presence and so on, I really didnt, and still dont feel like doing. I DO work, and I REALLY dont need a second job, unlike sphinxter. I want to have fun with people and nice RP experience. For me loot is just a bunch of pixels and if I win The sword of OMFG PWNING Everything That Walks, I really dont think its a real item that I can put on the wall in my living room. Having fun is what it matters, and casual player lately becomes more and more strained between no-play and hardcore. This little bastard obviously found that weakness and tries to exploit it, which makes it even more dangerous: if he succeds, there is no telling when will this be expanded to other realms, just like ninja-alt disease... Hi BBB,

I read it.. thought about it for a couple seconds.. then read between the lines, If you look there you'll realize its a guild with no goals, no ambitions, people won't help you do anything, you will never clear kara, you will never see the inside of zul aman never mind gruuls. You will be stuck in heroic/badge loot til Wotlk. The plus side of all that is you get to act like you have no guild. But have a guild name above your head ;) If he had said he had LEFT 14 guilds... i would take him more seriously... but instead he got KICKED from 14 guilds. Why would I want someone like that as my guild leader 0o I dont have any of these worries. The venture Co. Alliance side has 3 main guilds that raid. Thats it 3. One everyone but the guild leader wants me in for some reason. The other gets things done by pure persistance.. horrible though. The other is full of people like the post above. I'm on my own needless to say :p You say that guild post is smart?

How it ended is on my blog aswell btw:(http://fulltimewow.blogspot.com/2008/04/taking-matters-into-our-own-hands.html) Yeah yeah, cheap advertisement but i actually feel it's important as many people know how they have done it.. even if it turns my cheeks red that it happened to us.

However, officers are the ones I take precaution with. They get invited, promoted to Member Alt, and told, "Promote yourself farther." Never had an issue.

We have a policy that if you want an alt invite to the guild, fine, but you MUST log you main first and make a formal request. I've made the GM do it. I make no exceptions.

Said person clearly has no idea what "guild" means: "an organization of persons with related interests, goals, etc., esp. one formed for mutual aid or protection." The very nature of a guild is group-oriented otherwise what is there to distinguish a guild from a mob? Anyway, I am more concerned about people like this not so much in-game as in real-life. I firmly believe how you do anything is how you do everything. This little jewel of humanity seems to have a LONG way to go before he/she has a hint that they are not the center of the universe. PS -- Semper Fi, BBB, from one former Jarheaded Leatherneck to another. Seems that Thesphinx is a real sphinxter.

He traded the mats and waited patiently for the priest to perform the enchant only to have him queue up for a battleground and then instantly log off. He stayed logged off for a week. My brother found his guild and contacted an officer who found out that the priest had been bragging about it to the other guildies. He put in a GM ticket right after his mats were stolen and got his mats back two weeks later. And when you think about it, there is no way to protect yourself from someone jacking your mats. So now unless I know the person I'm constantly hitting up the armory to verify professions.

There are a lot of defamation posts about people who ninja loot, ninja members and assassinate guilds. The real problem is, not enough people speak up when this happens. Unfortunately, Blizzard will forever remain neutral on this subject because the asshat's $15/month is just as powerful as your $15/month. Capice? So by all means, be vocal about it.
