Guild members auto kicked and no visibility of guild status post Unified Forces

@Justice668

I can flag @EA_Kipling  for you , not sure what he can do though , funnily enough on the flip side i came over this post of a guy kicking everyone out of a large guild ... 

Hello thank you that would be kind.

I was encouraged by his response in the thread I linked, as he tried to at least identify if the guild still existed - something we do not seem to be able to do.

I have read that post and yes, unfortunate side effect of what seems like a not very thought out system/policy.

We're hoping it's a misunderstanding and that ultimately power to the rightful individuals can be restored. 

@Justice668

He will be back on Monday , he will get the flag for here

@proxos666 I "was" a member of this guild so I hope that @Justice668 who was our GM can get some clarification on the matter.  

On the broader topic of guild leadership succession I think the GM being able to pick "X" number of successors from the officer ranks would prevent this type of thing from happening.  I know the intention of the auto-GM swap but an option to manually enable a succession plan instead of allowing any old swinging Joe to become GM would be a lot more palatable IMO.

@Justice668

If Justîce was the Guild Leader, then I'm afraid there was a 4 week gap around Dec-Jan that could have potentially lead to this situation. That being said, I couldn't find the guild in question.

I can try and look into it a bit further with some specific information. If any of the guild members completed a Personal Conquest target while in the guild in the last 2-3 months, can you tell me their character names? It's a long shot, and I won't be able to do anything if the leadership was lost due to inactivity, but it should hopefully give you a bit more info.

The Guild Ranks already act as a successor hierarchy, ie. if the Guild Leader is inactive, the leadership goes to highest ranking active subscriber, so ensuring that your officers are active and subscribed is important.

@Justice668 I actually read his Reddit post the opposite way. He said that he "couldn't remember" the name because he didn't want someone in the thread to say "Hey it's my guild, give it back!". All he had to do was look at the name above his characters name. He also could have just looked at the members roster and made any officer the GM, but instead he intentionally kicked everyone to include members like me that played every day (showing that it wasn't a dead guild), and then went to Reddit to get adivce on how to offload the guild and make money. Naturally the trolls on reddit advised him to plunder the guild and sell it off.

I understand how the succession system works, what I was saying was we should have an optional way to disable succession beyond a certain group of people to prevent scenarios like we've experienced here. If there's anything that I can do to assist you in your search for the guild feel free to PM me here or on Slack.

Ah right. Not a bad idea, actually.

@EA_Kipling

You can try the following where it concerns Conquest:
[Names Removed, just in case]

@Justice668

No luck there I'm afraid, two guilds, but they've been around for a while now.
