Technically speaking, Palethu, the original stance on guilds was entirely hands off. A guild leader was the one who had control of it and regardless of how long they had been away, we wouldn’t be able to transfer leadership.
We later decided to assist in those situations and then we eventually created an automatic system.
That comes with specific restrictions though as we wanted to still recognize that the guild belongs to the guild leader. So, they may set their permissions how they wish to if they wish to prevent folks from being able to take over their guild.
I’m sorry, Palethu, but the guild leader has the full right to set up the permissions as they see fit. While unfortunate, you did give up those rights when you transferred leadership to them.
