I believe that loyalty is a huge problem on Classic and it's something that comes up in US guild chat quite often. People like myself, Unleash, NiTe, Prado, Shannon, Comyt, Yellow, etc all are associated with US, and that is because we are only US members and have been for quite a while now. It isn't the sparring, the ranks, or the GST wins that make us known (even when we've lost people still believe we've won) it's the loyalty of our members. We all have a few "joke" tags, but you'll very rarely see any of us without a US tag. No one member is bigger than any guild, but if a guild has no unique members to it, then there is no guild to even be recognized.

There are certain people that you'll see in every guild's roster. I feel that in having these people in your guild, you are completely devaluing how "serious" your guild can be taken. This is also the case for people who create guilds for the sole purpose of entering the GST. Do you think that creating mega teams (but not.. y'know.. real guilds) is what the tournament is for? Do you think that there are any benefits to it? NOPE LOL THERE ISN'T. I did this in the last tournament so I could play, but it was my real guild that won in the end. Ch4m also had a second place streak for a long time, and I really believe that this loyalty factor contributed towards that.

People who mess around and change their guild tags every week are a joke, yet nobody seems to realize it in their own actions. When someone is new, or decides to act like this within my guild I'd give them a chance. I still find it very disrespectful to anyone who is loyal to the guild however, and they'd eventually be removed if things didn't change. You don't need people like this. I think that this attitude is something that everyone else should adopt for the sake of maintaining a good guild. You want to be competitive? That's cool, but it isn't going to happen with a bunch of randoms.

p.s. Guild hats need to stop until they're actually being earned.
