[Lady-Loki]

I should probably leave this issue be, since I already left the guild, but I feel I need to respond to Lady_Loki, since she felt the need to bring this matter up.

You're right, you did join because Meteo invited you. You can't have expected the rest of us to know you any better than you knew us. Instead of getting things going between unknown people by chatting, I saw you ask questions regarding skills and for help with "leveling up fast", which I can only imagine means powerleveling. You already have a constant grinding partner in Southern_Majesty / Spirit_Of_Fire, and most of us got where we are with alot of soloing.

So if a lack of sympathy for p-leveling is indeed lack of camaraderie, then that's what the guild lacked.

No, I didn’t expect those already in the guild to know me any better than I knew them, but coming in new I expected more friendship to be extended to the newcomers.

BTW, the two instances you reference were both initiated by me. Not once in the many times I logged in did any members online initiate any contact with me.

I did ask questions – that’s how you learn new things. I asked how others leveled up so quick. The response ”plvl”. I asked for that to be explained.

I asked you [directly] if the restore skill was worth the silver and you said in your opinion yes. I thanked you and said I would get it then.

Not once or twice but several times Spirit or I would throw out a simple “We are going to Burning Hill, anyone wanna go with us?” On one occasion there was a response that the level restriction prevented those higher levels from going, but generally our comment went unacknowledged.

This week there was guild chat about doing a cplvl party. I stated that we were trying to get leveled up to the guild preference of 30 and asked if I could cplvl too. The response was “sure, get a party and go”. Pretty much made me feel like an outsider and not really part of the guild.

If I have the whole concept of why people are part of a guild confused; then my mistake, I apologize. But if my understanding that a guild was a group who would work together and help each other out, then I am fully justified in feeling that something was missing.

Just today I had someone tell me that this guild is pretty much dead so as S_M said, we would like to bring some things to light that might help to make us a better guild in the future. Hopefully the remaining guild members will read this as constructive and not as derogatory.
