to the new guildmasters or those wanting to create a guild,
please do not get offended and have an open mind. i have looking for an active, good guild with no success. i getting tired of seeing the same cycle over and over again. i see a reoccurring pattern.
imo:
1. i see very slow or non-existent progress to build an active guild. the guildmasters and officers are hardly on or hardly not working on progress like creating guild events/activity
2. lack of respect, acknowledgement, acceptance, response of any guildie feedback or advise regardless if it is a guildie problem or a suggestion or advise or a leaving notice.
3. lack of influencing, enforcing, promoting intra-guildie relationships to form guild groups to do group content, help, do guild events.
4. guildmasters and officers give up too fast to engage the guild problems instead of the backbone or the gusts to engage and solve problems like removing or kicking out guildies that don't want to do anything in the guild just leech out the xp gains and find like new minded players quickly.
final comment is a guild is suppose have like minded players doing group activities. it is very hard and requires time and great responsibility. before you even create a guild, be honest with yourself, think ahead, turn off your ego, don't be stupid and ignorant, and ask yourself a question - 'do i have the time and the gusts to manage a guild?'. if you can't or you are indecisive, don't bother. if you really can, break this failing guild cycle and make like minded players happy and enjoy the game.
