A special thank you to all current and former fAWRmily members for all their great help.  
Not bad for a self named guild. 😉

Well unfortunately there’s not a leaderboard for legendary tasks. Lol  
(As of today, we’ve gotten 22 Mythic LT… And it took the guild 4 months before it started doing LT. 🤷)

It’s possible that a dev saw it and laughed… allegedly. 😉

I would never name a Guild after myself.  
It feels too egoistic, sounds too egoistic, and probably is too egoistic.  
There is always a better way. There is still time to atone for your actions. 😉

I would never solicit my thoughts about others when not asked. 😉  
Hard pass on the atonement.  
Much like Henry Ford…I put my name on a great product before it was a brand.  
In other words “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

I have since created 4 other guilds none of them named after myself. Essentially because, they were all created to have others join them.  
A W Ryan was originally created to be a one person guild… Guild wars changed that. And it worked out pretty well for us. 🤷

Is there a feature to rename your Guild for Gems, similar to the name change?

No. The devs have to change it.  
But even if there was… I’d still be a hard pass. 😀

Not sure who you are or what guild you play with but AW has our guild running like a well oiled machine. Our record speaks for itself though. I can’t even fathom the amount of time he’s put into this game to maximize our success and we’re all very grateful.  
Unless you’re the guild leader of a top 5 guild, why would anyone want to know what you would or wouldn’t do? You must have some ego, giving your two cents when not asked and not coming from a place of expertise no less

The only one of our active Guilds that you don’t hold a record in is Rage against the RFG. Which will have an opening on Friday if you want to come and break the current record of 1500 trophies. You should be able to do it before weekly reset. 😉

Hey, person. I’m all aboard the “harry AWR” train and do it myself a lot, but in this case:

His guild did a thing worthy of bragging, and honestly running a guild that can make it to the top something or other is an incredible amount of effort. There are times when your own horn deserves to be tooted. This is one of them. While AWR might’ve founded the guild and done the work it takes to talk a somewhat-rotating staff of 29 other people to ride on his bus, those 29 people did most of the work behind that trophy total so this is a back-pat for them, too.

I get that it comes off as pretty… something that he named his guild after himself. But this isn’t the thread to tear the guy down. If you wait patiently I promise you a better one will present itself. 😉

Just kind of let him bask in some actually-earned glory.

That is damn impressive. My only claim to fame in this game is, get this:

I’m probably the first and only player to lose to an all Firebomb team… ever.

I would love to blame it on God but the truth is not only am I bad at the game but I underestimated the team and thought I had it in the bag so I got lazy.

There’s a valuable lesson in there somewhere. I’m sure you guys got it but I’m sure as hell lost in terms of what it is 😛
