Been inactive due to broken PC lost guild leadership, current leader won't give back

I owned four guilds since they added that system, I did the same thing removed everyone, and added my army of alts it sucks, but you gotta be on top of this stuff.

During BfA I had a character in a guild that was very active and did a lot of raiding and PvP. At the end of the expansion the GM decided he wanted some time off for health reasons and passed duties to other players, but kept control (he was kind of a control freak). 6 months later the guild was dead. That’s one possible result of making sure no one can be promoted to gm.

oh i have a doozy. i had breast cancer and was off game for the surgery, chemo, etc, for about 4 months. one of my officers dethroned me, robbed the guild bank then locked everyone out of it, changed the tabard and the rank titles to insults, demoted everyone else and then quit. he hasnt been back for over 10 years, the guild still exists but i cant get it back because he demoted me. lol

All you can do is to start yourself a new guild and make sure you always log in at least once every 90 days. The system of dethroning has been around for ages now, it’s nothing new. It was put in place so GM couldn’t just leave for months on end and leave the guild hanging and its members without a leader when they put in the effort to build a guild up to begin with.

Blizzard will not make them give it back or any items or gold it had, when they took over anything in the guild became theirs to do with as they pleased. If they were a really low rank, more than likely someone else took control of the guild before them, and then turn around and passed them the guild after they were finished with it.

Either way there is nothing Blizzard will do about it. Just chalk it up to experience.

It’s a feature that protects everyone else in the guild, and it worked.

I wish this would happen on my end. I don’t know what type of leader you are but I had a really toxic guild leader in my past and had an alt join that guild just for the off chance I can get this type of revenge. It would be hilarious to slowly kill the guild in front of them.

uh
actually


  1. theft is the fault of the thief, not the victim
ALWAYS.
  2. Didnt the OP say their computer went down? HOW is that their ‘fault’ ? PCs die
its what they do. I know
I make money when they break, lol

you abandoned your guild for 11 months? and you call yourself a leader.

It’s not theft. There’s an established process in place for passing leadership in the event of abandonment.

It’s their fault that they didn’t have an officer set to take over in case of emergency.

It’s not theft, though. Upon assuming leadership of a guild you acknowledge that your extended absence forfeits your right as leader. :dracthyr_comfy_sip: Provided there’s somebody to take it, of course.

If your PC is down for 11 months, then that’s on you regardless of your financial situation. Don’t expect the game to wait for you


this :point_up_2:

and this :point_up_2:

Its called accountability look it up
 The OP is not a victim.

My understanding is that the GM has to login regularly. I don’t remember what the timeframe is, either 60 or 90 days, of the GM being inactive, which then makes the guild abandoned and leaves it open for another guild member to claim it. I think they have to make an attempt to contact the GM first before any action will be taken on their request. So I think you are probably SOL, if you’ve been inactive for 11 months, no matter what the reason why.

95

if you take something that ISNT yours and the rightful owner ask for it back 
it IS theft.
please dont tell me your that kind of person to defend this crap

YALL HEARING THIS JOKE? IF YOUR POOR, ITS YOUR FAULT. LMAO

similar thing happened to me, I went through all this trouble to start a guild and I was gone for like 4 or 5 months and logged in and I am a “basic user” and no longer the GM of my own guild. I appointed NO officers. The game is totally garbage now.

98

comprehension problems?
they said their PC was down.
no
its NOT the fault of the poor they are poor
and yes, it IS theft to take something that aint yours and refuse to give it back when its rightful owner asks you for it

It’s the property of the new GM, though. No longer theirs. :dracthyr_love_animated:

No computer access at all? For 11 months?

This system is meant to prevent absent GMs from holding the guild controls hostage.
