Exclamation Guild Scam

The other day I was walking around and a bucha ppl were crewing 4 a bossbattle. I joined, and ehen it got time to take on the forts someone got on the wheel and tried to make us all join his guild. I pretty much laughed at him and logged. Shoulda reported him but forgot.This happen to anyone else?

And, exactly what method of force was this idjet supposed to use to make everyone join his guild, and I would have reported him in a heartbeat!

I've never had this problem before but I can tell you one thing....if someone was being so childish as to FORCE people to join a guild, I would have reported them.

It's sad when people resort to trying to blackmail people in a game. Some of these players need to take a chill pill and remember its just a game. Next time report the guy Kit.

I haven't experienced this, but if you see anyone abusing the game in any form, just report him ASAP. Hopefully, anyone who was in that crew and got the forced invite might reported him already.

I was helping a youngling with her BB and I was the designated driver (I had the most rum in me)... anyway we gathered a crew on the beach... several people I didn't know... well once on board and time to take the wheel and sail towrd the bridges... some numb head took control of the wheel and drove full speed to the bridges where we were sitting targets... we kept telling him to stop and let go of the wheel, but it was no use... we sunk really really fast...

Why bother reporting something like this. Yes, it is very wrong to try something like that, which as someone here mentioned is indeed something a pirate would do. Gutsy, clever, but very very childish and rather dumb. I'd report if he used inappropriate language, harassing, or something along those lines, but a desperate move like that is nothing more than desperate recruiting move.

To tell the truth I am sure this is one of the things sent in with many others that has never been looked at.

Though it is a ridiculous ploy, why do we not have right to our quest, that this happens at all.

A player that is running their bb, should have all rights to the wheel over any other. This is not the first time this has happen, and even one of my characters I had a guy race up and grab the wheel, nothing from that point you can do.

Things like this have been hitting deaf ears for a long time. Gm's leaving the game and guilds in total array, with no powers. Several things such as this, and no idea how to ever make it sink in, these are not good things.

I'd report this person for mean and rude behavior.
There's no good reason to take the wheel of a boss battle when people are trying to play and tell them to join your guild.
