Drama? Just because? Accepted by accident because you didn’t have block invites turned off? Dead Guild?
Just curious what reasons players left a guild. For me it was usually because the Guild died or there was never anyone online. Another is because I transferred servers. Never had drama issues though.
So don’t be shy or afraid. 
Doesn’t matter how bad or crappy the reason was.
Because everyone quit the game.
Haven’t joined another because there is no real benefit to being in one anymore with how the game is setup as well as the existence of discord.
I’m still in my original guild, but it went from being one of the most active social guilds on the realm to being completely dead. I’m now the only character logged in 99% of the time.
As for what killed it, it was drama between the serious raiders in the predominantly social guild and the non-raider GM. While it wasn’t entirely the raiders’ fault, the experience left me with a very negative view of organized raiding to this day.
The only guild I’ve actually gquit had quite the clique problem
GM and his raid team were the only people that mattered in the guild, which was odd considering they regularly advertised themselves as an AOTC guild, despite the fact it was my raid team who was aotc and theirs couldn’t clear the raid
I forgot I was in a guild. I had helped someone by signing their petition only to forget about it after logging off.
A guild I was in many moons ago fizzled out after drama started. It was a casual guild and some people started to try to require vent and other things. All that is not for me.
I will say that I have refused to join guilds that capitalized the “o” in the word “of”.
When I realize there’s nothing for me to offer them or vice versa. Social guilds are boring
Well, I left this one guild I was well, I remember this time when a bunch of people were being rude to this single guy because of his music taste. Now yes, he was being a bit rude, this whole argument between these two people went on for an hour. Then everyone else kept jumping on him, and at that point, I was just thinking “This is immature as hell,” so I decided to leave, they were also being rude to a guild member that joined chat and made fun of their name. So, I left after all that, then I got whispers asking why I left and just ugh. I can’t tolerate guilds with immaturity, especially from grown adults.
I couldn’t stand the RLers voice.
Another reason why I left was that whenever we would raid, we spend an hour just talking instead of killing bosses. Some officer wanted us to move on to mythic because he thought same with everyone else “they weren’t benefitting from heroic” because of the gear, even though we could hardly kill the bosses on heroic, so yeah.
Too many egos and politics.
Hilarious but I can totally see that
We used to joke around about really bad trash wipes by complaining and typing " /gquit". I forgot to put in the space once and actually quit… mid boss pull.
Mostly because no one says anything
I’m there to meme around and talk rubbish while sharing ingame achievements with people and make friends
9/10 it’s either dead or there is an established clique that don’t care about anyone else
They wouldn’t let me type “< 3” in chat. I didn’t realize it was a rule and got demoted when I did it. I was fairly new to the guild.
Because they are by and large useless.
Guilds are formed by a core cliche and if you arent part of it and they dont develop a beed for you, youre often ignored… deliberately.
They may have served a purpose back in 2005-2007, but if i want to stare at unused chat channels, I’ll go to Zone chat.
Read leaders have a god complex and think their word is the only word. Raid schedules arent flexible.
I have a story that’s probably not appropriate for these forums.
Let’s just say I joined a prudish guild (not knowing that) and I said something that set off the GM.
It didn’t go over well and I quit immediately.
Same old same old. Guild was advertised as a friendly social guild, but the huge number of regular socialites were funneling gold, farming, etc. to the very small raid team.
Not a bad thing, if folks go into it eyes open, and everyone has a chance to move up into dungeon/raid squads, but here… The drama tore it all apart.
