I have done mythic raiding with this guild from the end of hfc to the first week of uldir. I took a break until a few weeks ago when I got back into wow. Last night we were clearing heroic and I got a BOE worth approximately $250 in gold which I was thrilled about until they said “ok put it in the guild bank”. Apparently they implemented this policy while I was away to fund raid nights but I was never informed. I was given an ultimatum leave the item or leave the guild. I would like to try and be diplomatic but I also think that the item should be mine, I’m curious to hear arguments either way.

That is a fair policy which removes a lot of the toxcicity from the raid with people hiding BOEs and such. It benefits the group and does fund your raid nights. They should have posted something about it but it is a fair policy.

Gaming with good people >> in-game gold.
If I like the group that I game with, I’d never quite it over some gold, but that’s just me, I guess. It’s not as if the guild is singling you out or being spiteful.
You do you, though.

I think probably the issue would be you being gone and not knowing the loot rules.
My guild has a BoE policy also: BoE gets auctioned and the guild and the looter split it 50/50. My guild also has the repair tab on for raid nights and provides flasks and food so this is more than fair.

Well, good luck selling that gold for it’s equivalent in real money. Even if you could succeed, you’re putting your account at great risk because that’s very much against the ToS.
Guild before self, imo. What if that’s a big upgrade for one of your runners? Makes it more efficient for more people to get more gear.
A piece of gear isn’t worth leaving a good guild for.
But this doesn’t sound like a good guild.
Give em the elbow, IMO.

You couldn’t have killed heroic trash on your own.
p.s. OP do you use guild repairs? Do you eat from guild feast? Do they provide cauldrons? If the answer is yes, I would drop this item in the bank without hesitation.
p.p.s. What BoE armor is worth $250? Do you realize that’s between 1.5 to 2 million gold atm?

Quit the guild. They’re being d-bags.

If they are “just a raiding guild” to you, ditch them. Guilds are a dime a dozen.
If these people have become your friends and family, don’t leave over something as silly as loot drama.

You don’t raid, why throw bad advice at a situation you don’t understand?

I’d keep it, but I don’t do much with my guild, and I am friendly, but not friends.

If you weren’t aware of and didn’t agree to the “BoEs to auction” rule and the guild doesn’t do anything else for you that would justify acceding to such a rule (like e.g. cooperative mythic+ runs, shared raiding expenses, consumables, etc.) then I see no reason to hand over what Blizz themselves have declared is personal loot.
If however, you did agree to that rule and/or did benefit from lots of cooperative guild efforts (beyond showing up for raid time) it’s a different story.

I wouldn’t quit over gold that is easily farmed. Besides that, I just bought a token and it was 132k for $15 so you got a boe worth 2.1 million gold? Uh, doubt it. The highest boe I can find on my server is 420 and it’s going for 450k buyout. Then there’s a couple 415’s in going for 80-100k so that 420 looks like an extreme outlier anyways. But if I was them and you delayed for any reason I’d boot you in a heartbeat. That means there is a value that you’d bail on them for, like a mount or some other rare drop. And that makes it very clear to me what you value and it’s not them.

Give it to me for free. So no one gets the gold, its like you never got the drop and you can stop worrying about it.

Tell them you’d like to keep the item this time because the policy was decided while you were on break.
If they say no, then decide if you like being in that particular guild more than you want the gold to buy tokens with.
As others have said, it really comes down to whether you enjoy their company or not.

NONE of us properly understand the situation, except the OP. Only HE knows the relationship he has with his guild. But a good guild would probably not have allowed this situation to devolve into an ‘ultimatum’.
The fact that the OP is on the forums discussing this tells me that he does not have a close friendship with the people in this guild. Therefore, I can’t see how the OP and the guild in question will be a good fit in the long-term.
(Oh, and for the record, I absolutely HAVE raided in a guild. It was, admittedly, a fairly long-ish time ago.)

Did you solo the raid to get it or did you rely on a group of 20 players? If you are able to solo relevant raids, everything is yours, otherwise it is for the guild.

I’m going with Sibille.

I’d quit it for free if they continue down the “We are now raiding with another guild from another server” path.
And then I’ll probably stop playing till the new expansion. (If it happens)
