I never got answers to questions I had. Never got offered help for things (though they had no issues helping the long-term members). And I eventually just left. Wasn’t a good experience for me, and being new to the game, really soured my perception towards larger guilds.
    I've had similar experiences. I don't know why or where anyone is getting the impression I've only had good experiences throughout TWENTY YEARS OF MMO GAMING that people keep ignoring when they quote me. I pointed out that judging large guilds by how they recruit is not a good way to go about it. And for some reason people seem to think I've never had a bad experience.

    For a subscription game, you'd assume the majority of players are adults due to needing to continuously pay. Sadly, many behaviors seem to contradict my logic.

    Good luck with the remainder of your FC o/
    Just because someone has grown older, doesn't mean they've also grown up.

    Perhaps because the implications in your first post is that you have had only good experiences throughout 20+ years of gaming. You’re quick to stress the good and denounce those who cite their own bad experiences in large guilds, but you haven’t given any descriptions to that bad that you’re now claiming to have, nor were you really acknowledging that the bad exists in large FCs (personally, all the anecdotes I’ve heard about large guilds in this game has been primarily bad—yours is one of the very few good reviews I’ve read).

    You’re leaning very heavily on one side without acknowledging the other in the post I initially replied to, even though you’re saying now that the bad experiences do apply to you. Perhaps that’s why there’s resistance to what you’re posting.

    But there's no such implication. In fact, it's the complete opposite due to pointing out how long I've been playing MMOs.

    I wonder if that might have everything to do with the post I was replying to that was judging ALL large guilds based on anecdotal experience....

    That's not my problem that you, and others, are reading more into what I've said and putting words into my mouth that I never said nor implied. So that leaves me, again, asking how anyone is getting the impression that I've only had good experiences. The only way that can be the conclusion is if you're not actually reading what I've written and you're also putting words in my mouth.
