Yeah I moved on, and created a new guild and only invited people I know IRL and play with constantly. I never bothered to even ask for the guild back. It isn’t hard to know 20 people, we have 50 and we know now NOT to invite randos into the guild because that’s who got it, some rando. Life goes on, the game is no longer good enough to care about such things.

This could’ve been avoided by not promoting them to a sufficiently high rank that allowed them to assume control.

You miss the part where I said that I gave no ranks? It was GM and basic users ONLY. Everyone gets 200g repairs and 10 slots. It was a fair guild.

I have a feeling this is a not a tight knit guild with tons of members that love their leader a whole lot. I would just let it go if I were you.
Guilds can be weird. I joined a guild last week in which you couldn’t talk in guild chat until an officer came online and promoted you, which happened after a few hours, next morning I logged in and was guildless. Oh well.

yeah the game is no longer great as it once was. I play a lot of classic anymore. I am here for the story and after I experience the story, I go back to classic. You want things to matter? Play classic.
If you have a guild with other people in it, you gonna have to keep your equipment in good working order to keep it. If you let a populated guild lapse for a year, that’s just not really Blizzard’s problem. They have things in place to let populated guilds with missing leaders recover. This is so people can maintain their friend groups and progress in the case of a guild leader being dead/jailed/quit/etc. That’s life, I don’t think they’re going to give it back to you.

Its not about being fair, it’s about having someone you trust there in case something happens. One of your IRL friends could have had an alt at officer rank and they would have gotten the guild and been able to give it back when you returned.

I think OP wasn’t poor or his PC was broken, I think he was in jail and this is his excuse. 11 months seems like a LONG time for you to have no PC capable of playing a potato like WoW. He has no friends with PC parts? I have old motherboards and GPUs just laying around I give to friends when they need them as does my friend Scott. We help our guild members.

I am so sorry you lost your guild.
I would just make a new one.
They know what they did and have to live with it.
On the vindictive side, if you have a friend that plays the other faction maybe you could get them to hunt down the current Gm and keep him as dead as possible.
I have hunted GM’s before. It is great fun.
It happened about seven or eight years ago, but I remember that I didn’t have to try and contact the GM when I “dethroned” them. You don’t have to contact Blizzard either. I think there’s just a button somewhere that you press.
Back in the day you’d ping a GM to come and reclaim the guild for you if the leader went mia.
What’s the other option? Guild master unexpectedly stops playing, then what? The remaining guild creates a new guild, and everyone and everything that can be transferred gets transferred to the new guild?
You stop watering your house plants and they die, you usually don’t get them back.
Unfortunately, nothing you can really do. Once you’ve been pretty much inactive for awhile, Blizzard considers your inactivity like you Abandoned the the position.

How did you function without a computer for 11 months?

right I didn’t QQ about losing my guild, it is just how things are. 4 months was a long time, but I took the sabbatical, I needed it. Expecting it to be there was not something I ever imagined would be the case.
like I said its probably a lie and he was in jail. How does he have no friends with extra PC parts laying around?
EDIT: Like if you are in my guild, and we have contact info specifically known as PC welfare. It might be a GTX 550 and a i3 3220 or something but you will be able to get into raids and have decent enough fps to keep up. I really need to throw some of this older stuff out like Pentium Ds etc. But when we upgrade we keep our parts to give to people in need or who can’t afford to keep up with basic system requirements. I think this is a fault of him not being a decent enough person to make friends.

they didnt pass the game did it i dont see how that there fault
Eh, I don’t have those kind of friends, so I’d buy that asking friends for parts wasn’t an option.
you probably do but don’t realize it because you make enough to keep up with our gaming addiction. Do you sell your old parts? Only things we keep are SSDs and HDDs because personal info. We will buy you a $20 ssd or something.
For a year??? yeah, no. that’s not even close to how a responsible guild master handles thing. that’s two raid tiers. Can you imagine a guild being alive that long without a leader? the new guild master probably put in months of work to keep the guild from falling apart.

the dude just did it to take everything. 3 months is a joke for someone to be able to take a guild give me a break just because none of you never become inactive doesn’t mean 99% of the playerbase doesn’t lol. i would of flat quit wow if i was actually gl in a guild and i lost it especially with the great shadowlands rolling out i been inactive for 3 months quite a few times during it. anyone who takes over a guild that way don’t ever have the interest of the rest of the guild in mind lol.
