Perhaps I'm being over dramatic here. I'm just really annoyed. The guild I'm in has over 90% of its members over level 70. The leader wants to spend the resources on doing the 4th tier first for the smaller players and less rewards for the higher players. I guess that's nice and all but when it comes to the guilds perspective it feels like it doesn't matter. He wants to get everyone's feet wet... Yet everyone in our guild has at least a five star toon. Most have multi seven.
I feel like the bulk of the players aren't being listened to. Most wanna start at the fifth because it will help everyone. Even the lower level players. "Sorry, this is the plan."
I almost wanna bail because this isn't what I signed up for. I wanted a guild that would understand I can't give 100% all of the time. That would stay with me and not have ridiculous high pressure goals that would get me punished or gone because I couldn't meet them but would still be competitive.
This isn't the first disagreement. However it stings more because I dumped more cash into the game last night.
So would you...

Tough it out a little longer. See what else happens.
Find a new guild since it's still early.

They see leadership as power, instead of responsibility, and abuse the privilege.

I wanted to start my own guild but I'm not leadership or rather I didn't know what I was doing with the creation of a guild and what I would have to do.
I and a few others disagree with the idea. We feel it would help everyone more vs starting lower just to see what's what. It's expensive for these raids. I'm busting my backside as a 76 player to help out.
Right but since he wasn't offering logic other than this is my plan I was hoping someone might give me a good enough reason I may be missing.
He wants to hand-hold the lowbies.

Sorry that made me giggle.
If they are too low level, then they wont be able to defeat the level Rancor you require buddy so you might need a Guild which is your level
You must be in KoR.
The dictatorship was a dead giveaway.
One person doesn't have five star toon...
Four more are under level 70
The rest are 70 or higher. I'm 76 the boss is 77
The rest of us bust our butt to get low level gear we don't need. Just for his or hers participation trophy and ends up getting rewards they need. So how is it fair to those of use breaking our back for things we don't need.
I've even offered a go fund me account to help them level up. I'd give em fifty bucks just so that player could be involved.
I think you might have picked the wrong guild bro.
Maybe use different terms than busting your butt/breaking your back. I work pretty hard, and this is just a game.
But they don't get a participation prize. The guys who are contributing coins, helping everyone unlock the raid, are not even going to get to the Tier 5 rancor to lay a hand on him through the trash mobs. One or two or three 5* characters isn't going to get you to the boss. There is no participation prize if you don't get to him.
It's another bad thing about guild implementation, where they're essentially forcing people to be in guilds around the same gear + star level as them rather than actual friends or anything that a human may want.
That said, I think it's a mistake to not do Tier V if your guild seems capable of it, unless they specifically have a mission of helping even the outliers in the guild.
If the lower level players feel like they're playing for nothing they may walk.
I don't see getting this worked up over the first raid.
The biggest beef is with the first in command. Adds gas to the flames and tends to be a little condescending to other players in my opinion. I have authority, kiss my feet and I'll walk you through this complex game type mentality sometimes.
It's just for fun guild is turning into rules when it suits this person and pulls the just for fun card if we disagree. Pretty much to close the disagreement. I've been hoping the leader would step in and say something like you're both being silly and you both need to relax. This FO seems to always agree with the leader but he doesn't say much. Kinda let's us make our points. So I can't really dis the main leader. More so the "acting" officer.
We only have one officer. Seems their is a dissuasion as to whom to promote if any because we need to prove we'd be responsible enough... I don't recall that when the FO was promoted because the leader had to go away for a few days but needed someone to add players. Now we have to prove ourselves to the FO.
I was thanking the guy for finally admitting he was wrong for ignoring the vote and it implied he doesn't like a thing about me and is gonna keep his eye on me. Kinda like a threat. Be careful I'm gonna find a way to kick you out kinda vibe.
As far as breaking my back I could think of something better to use. Shelling out cash perhaps?
I kinda regret making this post. I was in a really bad mood thanks to personal life drama. I kinda lashed out a little. I logged on to our forum to see him pressuring someone to leave. Then later that night telling players they shouldn't use the in game chat because they couldn't read all the info. It wouldn't have been that bad had he asked instead of caps and "!!!!!!!!!!!!" and I'm not making that up... I took it as him yelling at people for not doing things his way. So, I got verbally confrontational. It's just for fun and no pressure unless I feel the need for pressure but don't you dare disagree with me or ignore me or I'll delete you.
So that's where I'm at. Waiting to squash it or wait until I'm removed by force. Drama drama drama.
Thanks for the input.

Please make sure you read all of the thread before applying. However, you can skip the 'Lore' section.
I just started a guild which I have huge hopes for to become rank #1 as well as having a fun and homely environment. Read through the above thread and if you meet the requirements and like the visions I have for the guild, and think you will fit in with the vibe I want in the guild then reply on my guild thread and I'll send you an invite.
