Guild etiquette

[Kat Stormhawk]

I don't mind being asked to give help, but sometimes it does get overwhelming. I find it hard to finish my own quests because I am always off helping someone finish theirs. It bothers me most when the person who constantly asks for help, and receives it, doesn't thank me.

I've yet to have any issues with the Wenches.


My problems come with "Friends" TPing to me and/or demanding things...

Like others, I don't mind helping. However, I'm playing too. TPing to me the second I sign on expecting me to go plunder, or sending me a whisper that says only "COME TO ME NOW!" doesn't make my gaming experience all that grand.

TPing to me the second I sign on expecting me to go plunder, or sending me a whisper that says only "COME TO ME NOW!"

I think i find that to be the most annoying part of the player interaction in the game. 3 or 4 of my friends, who for the most part are good competant players, TP to me the instant i come on line. My pirate needs a couple of minutes to settle in, get some coffee, check his ammo, etc etc. LOL

And there is one guildie who is always saying "come to me". a simple reason along with the request would go a long way me thinks.

But i guess i do have to remember it is a game and many of the players are young kids so...as annoying as it is...i'm learning to live with it.

Almost forgot I did this, actually thought I had to do it again, it didn't go. It would of been nice to rank these what would be a auto boot, versus warning etc.

Some of this may also vary in size of guild I think. We are looking at 280ish, so teleporting always to officers and such has caused its difficulties.

The teleporting is probably what I think has gotten out of hand a bit, perhaps to the other extreme now.

What we do in the above cases is as follows. 50% of new people coming in with in the first few words asking to be a officer is really a annoyance, than anything else. So we send them to the guild site to learn what they need to do to become a officer. This guides them to completing currant officer quests within the game. Thus problem solved they end up getting to know others and find out if they are fit to be a officer.

Who will level me? Basically this also is more a annoyance, and will usually end with "if you want to hunt with others than take turns healing". Knowing myself everything can be done solo, this is just a ploy for some to caught up with numeral uno.

Joining a guild and than trying to recruit its members.
Swearing, and insulting other members.
Both these are pretty much immediate dismissal from the guild.
(Not to confuse this to others trying to start up their own guild)

Spamming (like 50 straight letter non-sense, or same request over and over)
Teleporting
These we have on a warning system and then you will be out.

Teleporting I think now I am seeing it get carried away imho in the other extreme. There is times some of us are doing grenades, or just working a critter to use the right combo to get the most rep, and boom teteporter incomer starts whacking it.. We Started out with no teleporting to officers without permission, then made it guild wide. Three warnings you are out. The warnings are not getting through some of the thick heads. While others almost sit in waiting for someone to teleport and get all bent out of shape over it.

I am viewing it that warnings need to be stated out right this is your first warning type thing. While others need to lighten up a bit if someone teleports to you once.

Give us a button to accept someone teleporting, best solution.
