Mean Guild I Guess?

Man I'd hate to be in the hospital for 30 hours, get back ok, and find I was kicked because I got out 6 hours too late.

How does it hurt the rest of you if you wait until the event is over to kick? It just seems vindictive otherwise.

In this situation, getting kicked out after the TB is over will STILL mean you get nothing.

EA has it coded so a player’s TB rewards are sent the first time they login after the TB ends. However, if you were kicked out if your guild between the end of the TB and your login (even if the tb ended hours prior), the game will see your login, check your guild, see you aren’t in one, and you will receive no TB reward.

There are quite a few complaint threads about this, but EA has said it’s “working as intended.” So players can be booted after the TB ends and still have their rewards stolen.

In all honesty and disclosure, I once bounced a member right before rewards were given for a TW. For about 3 months this person kept placing at least 1 squad on the front line that was wayyy under the requirements for gp placed for that section. They also (though not nearly as often) totally disregarded orders and would attack the opposite section he was supposed to. We were very patient. Tried to be nice. Sent NUMEROUS messages to him as well as addressing it in main chat. To make it worse I would see him gear up or request gear so I knew they were online and I messaged him with no response. Like I said this went on for a few months and I finally had enough one TW and after the win I made sure he didn't get any rewards. Childesh for sure on my part, but tbh it felt great

lol why would you keep that person in your guild for months?

Out of curiosity, was all this communication in game? If so, are you aware that people that register accounts and set their age as minors can not see ANY in game chat? Maybe that was the issue.

One of MANY reasons that most established guilds use Discord and Line as their main forms of communicstion.

TL;DR: Don’t refuse an in-game message request from the guild leader.

As a guild officer and TB co-ordinator, I can give the insight of myself and my guild into this issue. We have kicked mid TB before, and would do so again, however kicking *anyone* any time is something we are loathe to do - it is a last resort, because we value our members and their loyalty. As a result, we are full and have very little movement of people in or out. This makes the guild stronger and everyone happier, and management easier. We have discord as a requirement for everyone, though it is honoured somewhat in the breach than the observance for older players (new players have to join discord before they get in now). We have probably 1/3 not active on discord, and even that is a nightmare for us, and we work to improve it.

The latest person kicked mid-TB was not on discord. This makes platoon allocations tricky. He had been told multiple times to join, and why it is necessary. He had a history of limited involvement, and reluctance to follow requests from officers. We have enough IPD to fill platoons, but only just. This guy was one of them. So he has to be messaged separately to “remind” him before every phase that he is required to assign his IPD. This gets done. We need the platoon bonuses in order for some guys to get 4/4 in rounds - we’re not all so strong that regardless we’ll get all missions 4/4 with or without platoons filled. We usually wait on missions until platoons are filled for this very reason (and so that the toons needed for platoons aren’t used in missions). So the entire guild has to wait until they’re filled. The faster they get filled, the more time members have to do missions and deploy on their own time frame. We respect the fact that people are busy (so are we when running TBs!), and we try to give them as much time as possible.

This time, this one IPD was all we were waiting on for full platoons, but we eventually had to get people fighting or we would miss out altogether. Some people didn’t get as far as they otherwise would have. This guy *never* deployed his IPD, so we had 2 wasted platoons of donations, including sacrificed toons that are really needed by some guys - DR, Malak, Badstila - all donated to help the guild at their sacrifice, that got wasted. With his record, that would have been enough for me to kick him mid-TB, but he was given the opportunity to explain what happened (eg he was in hospital). Our guild leader sent him a message in-game.

He declined to accept the in-game chat. When you decline to talk to the guild leader about something - don’t even open the message, and screw your guildies over, guess what? Time for him to leave. Much as we don’t like kicking people, especially those who have toons we need, if they’re not helping with those toons, we don’t lose anything by them not being here.

Again, thanks to all for the support! I’m in a guild now that is very supportive. I think I just had some bad luck, and the guild may have even done a mass kick which would make sense because it didn’t seem personal. But anyway, I agree that being able to kick at any time is important for dealing with off the rails members, and especially with many reminders, any kick is justified. So for the future I hope that we all are in supportive guilds with supportive members, and thanks again!
