Everyone telling me I’m wrong? Must be a conspiracy.
Start a bunch of drama; surprised when I get called out on it.
You’re right, it’s not you, it’s us. Going away would be the only decent thing you’ve done all day, but I’m guessing you won’t stay gone. But please, prove me wrong.
Since the topic has already gone awry, it will not be worse if I add my 2 cents.
No top guild will remain a top guild long if its members are happy with only 300 trophies per week.
And only few people can make thousands of trophies each week.
That is why the requirements can’t be set too high : people need to take a breath or are busy with RL sometimes.
And that is why the requirements are not the goal to reach but merely minimums.
Of course it is only a game, but the process of recruitment is quite similar to what it is in a company. And you are expected to prove that choosing you was the right thing to do when you join a top guild.
Obviously you are not fit for that.
Anyone should be extremely glad to be a part of any of the guilds represented here, let alone Mean Machine which you applied to. You should know coming in you gotta prove yourself to them. Not the other way around.
Best of wishes on your search for glory, but change the attitude.
I see your point about trophies, but I particularly think (not the whole guild’s opinion, though) it’s better to have happier members than make them all struggle every week just so we can brag that we are on a top position (and potentially be able to recruit more people that want to having these bragging rights). And, tbh, our trophy average has been constantly over 300, so there’s also that hehehe
I was replying to Raito who seemed to think that guilds with a better rank than yours would be happy to welcome him with open arms.
I think there are all kinds of players with all kinds of expectations, all perfectly respectable. As long as the strategy and aims of the guild are in agreement with the expectations of its members, there is no need to struggle. Besides, it is a game, it should be about having fun, not about struggling.
And I don’t disagree with you. Until the ranked PVP system was released, our only requirement was to reach tier 1 each week. I tend to think that raising the requirements generates more pressure than performance.
Although we have only been lurking, we have read the posts about the creation of your system of guild points and have found the system interesting.
