We've opted to refuse to recruit any player that had a serious personality clash with the rest of the guild, but Vortex has the luxury of needing a smaller roster of players than would be needed for 25-mans (or the vanilla 40-mans). Anyone who's invited as a raider is a full member... they just have to get through the recruitment gauntlet before that invite comes.<br /><br />Some we've invited as a temporary casual, usually players who server-transferred to get to us, before their recruitment is determined... but those are players we've already interviewed and feel comfortable that they won't be jerks in gchat. If they are, that's a swift boot and a "no thanks" on their application!<br /><br />However, having splinter guilds form and fall around "dissident" players is nothing new. Drama drives wedges into guilds with personality conflicts or differences of opinion in what the guild should focus on or how things should be handled. It's happened since the beginning of the game :) Even careful recruitment can't prevent it. As long as you have a stable core of like-minded players, though, a guild will ride through it all and stay on its feet.Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164718601021220108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580357164004332717.post-81874918552989348652010-01-12T16:20:23.167-08:002010-01-12T16:20:23.167-08:00So true!
