no, the hat was just the cherry on top. you don't really know the story so you can't really talk. basically i just came back from quiting for a year and wanted a guild. i messaged you, and saw advent, and asked you what it was and i got recruited. at first i loved it, having a tower a lot, making a few new friends, etc. and it was even after the fact that i was recruited that i knew you were a tower taking guild. then at around 900 hours i started to look around. we had deadwood, and i just saw the AE's (co-leaders) telling people to block the left and right staircase. i questioned them, i tried to correct them, saying that if we spread ourselves out we'll be more successful. this is the response i got: "are you questioning the AE's?" "dude, shut up, were fine" "lol godzilla your asking for it" (from an AE) "god, dont question us, we work hard here, and we've been doing this for a while". now at that point i was just like whatever let them do what they want. but i figured the leaders did'nt really know what they were talking about, and it was pretty stupid to just ignore a tip from a member. so i decided i would try to climb my way to the top of the ranks, and try to get my opinions heard. at this point i had also talked to some of my old friends, and they've talked to me about asking to join zanza, or making a new guild with some friends where i would have a leadership position of sorts. but for the time being i turned them down. why? because i saw a few gems in advent. ilazr, mik, pain, even you were people i respected. in fact i still respect you guys. but looking back it was really only you. i mostly hated everyone else. but anyway on with the story! the second time was when we had snow at around 950. i was skating around, no one was attacking, so i decided to take a walk outside, look around at some shops, see whats new, look for rps people, because keep in mind i just got back from a year. so i was skating around, staying in snowtown if i was needed, and we had plenty of members there. so i was skating around and guild chatted about something in the mad hatter i think. and then, "GODZILLA GET BACK TO SNOW RIGHT NOW OR YOUR KICKED!" at this point i was just laughing at how seriously these AE's took themselves, and made some response like "yes supreme leader", or something. and then the flood of "HEY SHUT UP HES AN AE AND YOUR NOT! KICK HIM!". but i still wanted to stay. not as much, but i still kinda liked it. in between all this i also experienced annoying spam, no free time to myself, and crappy members who could'nt kill pkers whenever we had snow or castle, which was a lot of the time. then at 975, we had snow again. this was the thing that made me begin to disrespect advent. about 3 separate times some noob came in asking to join. every time he was recruited, then kicked when he went offline. so i went up to one of the AE's and told him that we shouldn't noobcruite because we get mad at other guilds for doing it, and we want members who will listen to us, and are friends, not just random people. but then he swiftly responded that it wasn't noobcruiting. that noobcruiting was recruiting random people. what they were doing was recruiting temps. the temps asked to join first. my mistake xD. but i still wanted to climb the ranks in order to try and change the guild to be better. it was after 1k that things snapped. basically walking along i saw rockson, an old GoD member from back in the day. so i messaged him D00M FTW!! this is when we did'nt have a tower btw. so we chatted for a while, shared memories. he recruited me to GoD, and i was being spammed so i accepted it, and put the tag on for a little while. then i recruited him to D00M too. so we chatted for about another hour, then i logged off, logged back in and we had a tower. so i went to put my sub tag on and...kicked. now i get it if someones innactive, but i took the tag off for an hour. thats not that big of a deal. this showed me that the guild leaders were power hungry, and that i could be kicked for doing even the tiniest thing. from there i asked to be recruited again, was, and went and helped at whatever tower had for a little while and went to bed. but there i knew in that climbing the ranks would be very difficult, and that im best off just getting the hat and leaving. this was not where i belonged. i mean i helped you guys a lot, i thought i deserved it. i stayed with you till Saturday, making other estrangements with friends, and then right before the party boom, kicked again for spamming the guild chat even though i wasnt even guild chatting. i swiftly got recruited again by the some nice leader, complained about power abuse, then shut up for the next 15 mins about. then the party came, i was excited to get the hat, and get out. i decided to start the new guild with my friends. so i logged out because there was some sort of complication, and then i logged back in and saw everyone had it. i asked you and you said i was too late. by now i was just like fk this im out of here. and i left. and did criticize you guys when i was in the guild. but it was always met by a power hungry leader threatening to kick me.
see all this stuff?^^^
this shouldnt be what a guild is. i agree with you guys. guilds are being too abusive of the system right now.
for the few days i was out of the guild i didnt touch you guys. but when i saw a person arguing that advent V was a good guild, i couldnt resist. because really, you guys arent. but if you can take comfort in anything its knowing that your still better than some guilds. at least i think...
the reason i use you as an example is because i experienced you. i was in it and i saw all the flaws. im not about to go start talking about a guild being bad i know nothing about.
