Lacedemon Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I realise most of you probably have no idea who I am or who we as a guild are and probably have no idea to what this is about but I feel it is important to make this clear in a forum where identity is verifiable; so please humour me as you read this. I have added a TLDR for those who just want a bullet point summary at the end. On many websites that report, news on SWTOR my guild and I have been subject to an individual impersonating us. Those of you who have heard of us and do know me quite well I hope you agree that this is not something we would do. To begin with, I first want to apologise to every guild website they have posted on pretending to be myself or one of my guildies; I would also like to specifically apologise to Dulfy and Darth Hater both of which have been subject to this imposters attempts. Below is the most recent comment I know of: http://www.darthhater.com/articles/feature/25063-interview-severity-gaming#c2 I can only assume this is someone who has come to bear some sort of grudge against us and I can as mentioned previously assure you this is neither me nor a member of the guild. Maybe it is someone who used to be in the guild I do not know but it is not one of my members. If it were, they would be out of the door faster than you could blink. However, whomever has made these posts clearly does not know myself or the guildies very well as the others they have attempted to impersonate are some of the most well-mannered gentlemen I have had the pleasure of meeting. Drop it Like it’s Hoth is a large guild, we are a social guild. We are proud of our achievements but we do not believe that makes us better than anyone be them a sub or a F2P’er. Our first run after nightmare mode clear was two groups split splitting up the progression group to try to get a further eight players through the content. We chose not to work on the title to get our patient guildies into the fun fast. Once again, I would like to humbly apologise and ask for the forgiveness of anyone offended by the actions of the unknown person f you run a SWTOR related website or guild site please be aware that this troll is very active and if in doubt contact me directly through a PM here or dilih.eu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TLDR: Someone has pretending to be me and other members of my guild They have been painting us in an unsavoury light and offended many people I am extremely sorry to all the sites they have posted on and to anyone offended by the comments I would like to assure you that this is in fact no one within my guild If it were someone within my guild, they would be out of the door faster than you could blink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickensevil Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Wow, sorry you guys are facing this issue. I don't really see why people get enjoyment out of such things, but hope you all can get it sorted. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leene Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'm not in your guild but we share a server and the same faction. Have to say I've never had any issues with any of your members. Nice of you to bring some clarification into this. That individual most be a very sad person. Hope everything gets sorted out fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyntharion Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) A well written apology Lace. I doubt that persons with an arrogant and superior approach towards other people within this level would even be considered as a member of DiLiH. It's just sad and unfortunate that this individual decided to impersonate several of our members in an attempt to give us bad PR. Rest assured it's nobody within the guild. We'd never brag about the achievements we've accomplished lately in a way that would hurt or upset a persons feelings in any way and apologize for this mess the person has caused us even thou he's not in the guild. I got a tip from another person today while playing SW:ToR and the person was kind enough about the matter to give us a heads up of the matter and I clarified to said person about the matter. After this incident I think we've had enough of this foolishness and just want to end it. Edited July 15, 2013 by Zyntharion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andryah Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Yeah..nature of the internet in the context of games. It happens. But it's particularly bad when it is an entire guild that is impersonated. Generally they lack persistence of effort though.. leading one to believe they are small minded little gerbils that are easily distracted. I remember when some d-bag was pretending to be me on some gaming forum AND pretending to be an actual Bioware consultant at the same time. The funny part though, was the people who bought into it and were so easily duped and ran with it. Edited July 15, 2013 by Andryah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusFTW Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Even though now i'm on ToFN i can vouch for drop it. They are a great guild and would not behave in manner of this imposter guy who seems to have no life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namesaretough Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Success always breeds resentment, and you guys have had some great success recently. This is a very nice post, but it doesn't sound like anything you need apologize for. Trolls will troll. Good luck moving forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truami Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 This post is very well written. In my 12 years on the internet, this is easily in the top 5 well-written forum posts. I do not believe most trolls are capable of such literacy or clarity. Best wishes to Drop it Like it is Hoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackardin Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 When someone takes the time, the effort, the intent of disparaging a group of like minded players (guild), in a video game to the extent this has gone one has to wonder how skewed and pathetic are the lives of these individuals.

DarthBryn Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Lace i hope you get it sorted soon and for my 2 cents people only try and discredit those that have something they wish they had . Good luck and ill keep an eye out for any more posts that just don't fit the manner of the people i have played with.
