Well. thats why I pointed out the following things to the person I inquired to:
Adult player
Not my first pirate
Polite Player
Bringing someone with - same status
Playing for over a year
Still seemed disinterested since my pirate I was playing was a level 9.
Heres the thing tho - if I was happy with a guild that I enjoyed with my level 9, I would be more likely to move my high level pirates.
I think alot of it is arrogance as well.... oh well. Lots of other great Guilds.
