You got part of the blame of this, but just to think someone could do something like that boil my blood, it deserve death by stone.
Use Reddit an Facebook an get us those names, the community will make sure he harm nobody ever again.

SE still hasn't fixed that messed up promote/demote rank? Cause if they didn't they have their share of responsibility somehow. I mean where in the world have you seen people promote other for grades higher than their own?

While it was no doubt a despicable act, I'd remind you we're talking about digital currency in a video game.

Why is your character blacked out for me.

Sadly nothing will be done.

SE should never allow anyone to promote themselves into a higher position than they are already in.

Why in the world is this still a thing? Like.. its been this way for ages - why? This is not a minor issue, SE needs to either place a massive fat warning next to the rank and ask "are you sure" many times before letting leaders give someone that power... or just actually fix it (so one cannot promote above themselves).

Whyyy! lol. Thankful I haven't known anyone that had to deal with this, and I warn those who have rank promoting as a given power - but.. y, y SE? lol

Same here only I alone have access to promote/demote and the gil in the FC chest.

I transferred servers last night and the forums have not updated yet.

It's not "messed up" at all. It's intentional and quite beneficial.

The reason they allow you to give permission to promote above your rank is because it's extremely common for guild leaders to quit the game or leave for long periods, abandoning their guilds with no recourse but to disband and reform, losing all benefits in the process.

Blaming SE at all for what happened to the OP is not a valid response. Yes, it sucks that the OP lost what he did and the person who committed the act is despicable, but what happened was very preventable with relatively minimal effort.

@OP I wouldn't quit or give up. Yes, it sucks, but learn from it, pick yourself up and move on. Especially if your FC is still willing to play together.

If the guild leader doesnt log in for a set amount of time, ownership of the guild passes to the next active player who has been in the FC the longest.

That was a very recent mechanic added. And it's likely easier to leave the promote mechanic the way it is than to change it. Again, it's not SE's fault. It's like saying knife manufacturers are to blame when people are assaulted or killed with knives.
