I quit my guild this week.
After more than 2 years with Vehemence, I left. My reasons are detailed below. Before I say anything about why I left, I want to make a statement.
I have no hard feelings towards anyone in Vehemence. The two years I spent with them were some of the greatest times I ever had. I hope I can stay friends with everyone.
Now, as to why I left. The guild has become stagnant. Its not growing. They haven’t brought in a new member, except alts, in 6 months. I tried, but people say they never heard of Vehemence. when the rep we used to have was that we were respected by both factions.
Two, the guild bank being inviolate is stupid. Yeah, I took out a whole bunch of frostweave cloth. To make frostweave bags for people. What, did you think I was going to sell it? And 18 gold a stack? Come on. Since I had already converted it to bolts of frostweave, I bought all of that cloth to give back to you. I paid top dollar for them. 4 gold a stack. I don’t know where you came up with 18 gold a stack. Maybe when Wrath first came out, but not now.
Three, and this one hurts to even say. There isn’t a guild leader anymore. I love Stacey. I really do. And I know and understand how bad off she is right now. I’d do anything to not see her go through any of this. But, I can’t. And the Guild suffers badly without its guild leader. Ruling by council doesn’t work in a WoW guild. It just doesn’t.
Four, raid progression has died. I know, this was never supposed to be the focus of the guild. But how hard is it to get 10 people on a Friday night out of a supposed 200 people to run a raid?
So, there it is. All laid out. Love me or hate me for it, whichever. I’m in a new guild now, Bloodwell of Eternity. They’re a new guild, and they’re just getting started with gearing up for raids, and my experience will help them alot. And they already have another guild to run 25 man’s with as well, Pick Up Group. Just have to work out a few kinks. And they made me an officer within 2 days! Shows they have some brains.
