I recently joined a guild and things were going well. I had zero push back. Was active. Heard absolutely nothing negative from anyone including officers and the GM.
I deposited a large amount of mats into the guild bank and was immediately kicked and remove from discord.
It was around 120k worth of mats I had collected to be used for feasts and enchants for other guild members.
I feel like I was encouraging to help and I enjoy farming and making gold so it wasn’t a big deal. I do however did not enjoy simply being robbed and told to “deal with it”. Is there anything to be done?
I too go to the forums with zero evidence of wrongdoing instead of opening up a ticket to speak with a GM.

ill bite because i got nothing better to do at the moment, not sure if naming the guild or gm to warn people not to go to a scam/guild is against the rules so ill go with ‘what is the guild about’ without naming it.

This is why you should only take things out of the guild bank, never deposit them.
Rob your guild before they rob you.

To prove robbery, you would need to show that the guild satisfied all of the elements of robbery. Those elements consist of the following:
(1) The Guild took your property (2) from your person or in your presence (3) by use of force or fear (4) and with the intent to permanently deprive you of said property.
(1) The guild did not take your property. While the seized goods were generated from your own labor, anything in the game is wholly and absolutely owned by Blizzard Entertainment. You are merely paying for a license to access that property. If Blizzard shut the entire game down, therefore depriving you of access to those “goods”, they would not have to reimburse you for that.
(2) The materials were not taken from you, but from a community bank where you willingly deposited those materials with the knowledge that the guild could kick you for an arbitrary reason.
(3) There is no evidence here that the guild used violence, threats, or intimidation against you. It seems like they barely interacted with you.
(4) This element seems satisfied, as they did kick you from the guild.

Firstly, if you were not asked or otherwise nudged towards donating such materials, then no, it was not a robbery. It was a donation. Secondly, the post makes absolutely no mention of any potential reason given for the gkick, so as such there’s no reason to suspect a correlation between the two events. Not sure what more there really is to say on the matter. If it “wasn’t a big deal”, then I’m not sure how ambiguously posting on the topic for ideas on retaliation shows that any.
I’m glad I stumbled across this thread just to find the fellow legal professional/student XD
