@CG_Doja_Fett any congratulatory messages for almost worlds first Raid solo?
Hello There, jrod here. Leader of the Vanguard Alliance of which the Sand People guild call home. Some points of clarity: SPAPT is a hyper casual, quiet guild of about 160mil GP, they have a guild discord which hasn’t been used in nearly 6 months, until yesterday. This is guild in which the players log in every few days, play some SW and move on with their lives.
Apollo appeared in this guild in late summer, never joined the discord, never talked in-game, and you’ve all seen his .gg at this point, he was barely ever active. The other players and officers basically had no idea who this player is. Once the Rancor+ score posted, their officers started discussing how it “was odd”, but these are players so disconnected from the “game outside the game” they they really had no idea what had occurred. That’s when the attacks started.
Ultra, Khal, Brownie, and few other players bombarded both the silent guild discord and our alliance server literally DEMANDING answers. Repeatedly using the everyone tags when they could, posting memes and images in every channel they could access, including administration & rules channels. Absolutely relentless messages and pings to players who have nothing to do with the situation. All in a self-proclaimed quest to “report the cheater” appropriately. Confused and overwhelmed, eventually the SP officers gave them what they demanded just to make the barrage of insults and accusations end.
Then what happens? Are those screenshots appropriately reported to LD and Doja? No. They’re publicly posted to the forums, to reddit, to nearly major large scale discord server.
Yes. Apollo cheated. That sucks. He has been removed from the guild and reported. But a much worse travesty is the actions of “reputable players” who literally harassed and interrogated confused and innocent players. You’re adults. Grow up. If you want to track down a cheater, fine. But act responsibly, have some tact, explain what and why you’re doing what you’re doing. You make a lot of other people completely miserable yesterday to the point they’ll likely be quitting the game entirely.
Regardless of how everything went down, I think both sides could've handled it better.
What's important is that Doja, and Leviathan are aware of this incident, and they are actively hunting out any other players using illegal methods to clear the raid :smile:

And what about the other person above posting that he faced him in TW and posted about cheating and nothing done. Looks more like he was left to his own device because he brought a eb to the guild and why complain about that right. Didn’t get noticed or booted but now this really comes out in the light of day just how greedy he is once he posted a score line that and oops, now you want to talk about him.

If you can’t field a team, what do you need r8 material for?

Agreed, but I had fun...If people really had their feelings hurt, I would and do apologize...but nothing that was done should've hurt any normal sane person's feelings...
No matter how how you try to spin this or other players try to highlight or “what about” other situations, and the end of the day, what occurred during the attempt to track down the cheating player was harassment.
At this point there is a small handful of guilds who likely have no legitimate claim to have completed the Rancor+ raid and something illegitimate occurred. I’m speaking up because my people were needlessly attacked for a situation they were frankly not aware had occurred. If it happened once, how many other predominately innocent guilds and players were harassed and bullied yesterday?

Provide screenshots because nobody was attacked, you are making this out to be far worse than what actually happened. Nothing inappropriate or rude was ever said. No threats were made. Just a couple people having fun on a dead server. In fact, one of the old guild members of the sandpeople watched it all and was laughing around with us...
