I dunno. I have to agree with Steke on both points. Neither is at all bad enough to make me want to quit, but they're not things I like either.
I get that we're a trade chat guild and we want to be a home to everyone. But there really are a lot of friend ranks. And many of them are not beneficial for the guild at all. This is probably a moot point now though, as I see Abe culled about a hundred of them last night. Very nice.
I'm not sure if my tolerance has gone down or Mini has ramped it up lately, but it's getting to be a bit much. No one member should be allowed to have such a negative effect on so many others. Personally, I'm pretty sure I'm just done running with him in anything that's not a main raid. Him needing on shit that guildmates and main raiders want and then selling it to them is complete bullshit. As is purposely sabotaging our organized PUGs. That idiocy is not okay.
One thing I have seen lately that I really don't approve of is the way we treat PUGs. Specifically the actual random PUGs that we run. The non-signup, spur of the moment, honest to goodness PUGs. Ninja looting shit without explaining the rules beforehand (or worse, telling people the rules are one thing to get them to join and then doing another) and randomly kicking people out after we've saved them to the instance because someone thinks it's funny should not be tolerated. Bad, asshole, retarded guilds do that. And it is definitely not the kind of rep I want for WLPH.
There is a fine line between being a funtime guild and being immature dicks that I think many people have crossed.
