Me: This is fantastic XP. And this team is a lot of fun.

Leader: Great, glad you're having a good time, would you like to join my SG?

Me: No thank you. I run my own SG, I don't really need another.

Leader: You sure you don't want to join my SG?

Me: No, like I said , I run my own. I like having my own base, plus I sometimes disappear for weeks at a time due to school and real life, most SGs don't like that sort of schedule.

Leader: That's too bad.


Then I was promptly booted from the team, Mid mission, so I was kicked out of the instance. So I was curious and I sent a tell to the Leader.

Me: Hey man, what's up? Why was a I booted from the team?

A couple minutes past.

Me: Umm hello? I'd really like to know why I got kicked off the team.

Leader: Why, are you not happy with your decision?

Me: Huh? What decision? you mean not joining your SG?

Leader: Are you happy with your decision?

Me: Did you really just kick me from the team for not joining your SG?



He never responded after that. It was honestly, the weirdest damned thing ever.

I never realized how horrific people find this style of SG recruiting. I guess I may change my tactics. It just seems hard to keep an active fueled SG when your only inviting people you have to end up knowing on a personal level. I suppose it's better hearing it this way then more super antagonizing sarcastic remarks.

I agree and thought the same thing.

I think Fiber_Optic was attempting to do this and just messed up the quoting stuff:




That was my interpretation and theory, at least.

[Tell] : wow, that was an useless act.
[Tell] -->: Don't have to be a d!ck I send messages to lvls 1-10 about the SG
[Tell] : LOL, spamming for a SG members...Sorry, bub, I guess some have to do what the have to do.
[Tell] -->: Spamming? Sending messages is 'spamming' most people i see like being asked b4 they get invited
[Tell] : sure, there a lots of 14y/o tha daddy is paying their account that would love the invite
[Tell] : ok, ok, I'll leave it be. good luck, bub
[Tell] -->: **** off bro
[Tell] : boy, if you had taken a few minutes to see if I had an SG before spamming you would be all upset now, would you?buggar off, bub
[Tell] -->: And were back to spamming, Let me ask you did i send you like 10 messages to join my SG? NO. I sent you one. That is not spamming - that is a general question

I admit I got a bit out of hand with my responses but I just hate sarcastic jerks

Oh and also, who here calls asking someone to join your SG threw a tell 'Spamming'?

Second most people that send random tells to join an SG to people they don't know is by running down a list of searched characters and spamming tells. Actually during one gaming session recently I got somewhere around 10 tells from the same person in a bit over an hour(I usually reserve spam button for RMT people and special cases) to join their SG, about half as many from another member of the SG. About half of those were with an invite and got 4 invites without a tell. After that I wished I could ignore everyone in that SG and everyone on their friends list just in case. This is the most extreme case I have encountered by not uncommon for me to get 2 or 3 tells from same person about an SG. I mean I fell bad when I accidentally send 2 tells to one person to join a team but SG tells and invites?

Oh and a note about SG above: I actually accepted invite twice and second time actually counted new members and people that quit, in at most 3 minutes there were between 15-18 new members and an equal number of quits but not all the same people so amusing not everyone quit in the same amount of time.

This is essentially an internal management problem for your guild, and is neither a bug nor abuse. Therefore, there's nothing the GMs will do about it."

The GM's here will also not intervene, as the character was invited to the SG, and therefore had permission to access what's in it.

Rank Restricted Access was added to storage for a reason, people should get to using it. Or not blindly invite everyone to an SG.

Believe me this is very annoying when my third tier alt in my SG creates a bin only for me to realize I cannot put anything in it until I login a leader character to change the settings.
