Light rant about my guild

Feedback / Suggestion

I love my guild and everyone I run it with, but I feel like I'm doing all the responsibility. I make the ads, recruit new members when we have space, advice people who struggling with events I can't even do myself, message those about lack of activity, do orders, and keep a positive standing with our alliance.

I'll ask an officer who is subbed to hotbot if they can do twcompare and I'll be met with dead silence. I remember one time having to mention the guild leader to do the damn krypt raid so we can finally reach 25 million.

If any other officer fells the same feel free to say so I don't feel alone.

Been there. Old guild I was an officer in, GL was never around, and most other officers very infrequently so I ended up doing a ton. Finally got burned out, left, of course they got all bitchy that I wouldn't do their tasks anymore, and now I'm a regular member in a guild and it's great. Take care of yourself. At the end of the day, no one else will.

You need to move on.

You’ve outgrown your guild severely

Agreed, my old guild had that problem. Couldn't even get the guild to attempt WAT and only got 2 shards. I left found a new guild in a week and have been with them for over a year now. I was doing a good bit of what you were as a non officer. And early this year they promoted me to officer and everyone is super active.

If no one is responding to you and are ignoring you and the guild, then you need to leave. Staying is going to annoy and stress you out, and will slow down your progression while requiring more work than needed. Moving on to a better guild is the way to go

I had a dude from Purgatory join my guild for that exact reason.

If you need a new guild lmk, we get 10* in rote and are on a 28 TW streak if that interests you

1
FevdevOP•

My guild gets 16* in rote and I love my guild and my fellow officers it's just that it feels like I'm doing everything

OverSpecific2113•

Either you need more active officers or you need to move on tbh

28 TW win streak! Holy Cow. Is your guild mostly all players using a 2nd account? Low-mid GP, but know how to play the game very well…

1
OverSpecific2113•

No I wouldn’t say so, we have a wide variety, some players with 3-4 GL’s and some players at like 1mil gp, only 2-3 alts

The secret is the sandbagging

1
Rellius99•

Not always, my guild has a high success rate and used to have a 40 something win rate, but we are fighting more competitive guilds now. Sandbagging can do it but a good defense and all members being active and coordinating can make your guild very deadly. We've busted many sandbags.

1
mrmowgli•

that's awesome, we need more guilds like yours

1
tower_crane•

What is sandbagging?

1
mrmowgli•

going into TW with like 40/50 members joined for an easy matchup to shit on a much smaller guild

1
Otherwise_Simple_310•

That's a silly notion, and it doesn't happen nearly half as often as folks think. Every guild I've run into where they've been missing members, hotutils shows over 24 hours of inactivity from nearly all of those accounts. Honestly, those are the guilds that my guild has nearly no problem with. It's the ones that are close to our gp that worry me because I know that they're as active as we are.

1
mrmowgli•

if you're in the range where worrying whether members are logging in or showing up at all, you're probably not too worried with sandbagging but going in light for a deliberately easy matchup is common in the mid to upper-mid range GP guilds

It's super difficult to be in a guild where the leadership team is not as engaged as you are. You can love your guild and still need to move on because they're ruining your enjoyment of the game.

My Advice, there needs to be a few things your guild is doing before you step in and say something or leave.

  1. EVERYONE must get their 600 tix. It’s easy, yet important
  2. If they sign up for TW/TB/Raids, they must contribute in a meaningful way or it should be known they will be booted. (They don’t even have to be top 25, just do what they can with their roster.) hitting a couple times and collecting rewards should be mandatory boot.
  3. All players in guild should be communicating with each other. Team chemistry is important. It makes you want to do well for your friends in the guild.

My 2 cents, or whatever…

Whats your gp? Were looking for one and are a 400m+ guild. We have min reqs tho

1
FevdevOP•

4.2 million with executor on the way. But I'm not looking for a new guild

1
M00NShoez•

Shame. We get 25 stars in rote. And like active people. Any GLs?

1
FevdevOP•

The executor is my first gl unless you count gas

1
M00NShoez•

Can you link me your swgoh.gg? Just curious

1
seeTODDsee•

Why would we count GAS as a GL?

1
Pokefan7552•

Hey, whats your min requirements? In a similar situation as OP and looking to move on to a new guild. 4.1M GP 1GL +Exec

1
M00NShoez•

Generally 5m gp but send me your roster ill check it out and share it with the fellas. We do require high activity. We dont skip events and were currently only keeping active people just a fair heads up

1
Pokefan7552•

https://swgoh.gg/p/594679117/ I'm a daily player, I don't think I've missed a day in ages Understand if the GP is too low though.

After many years I left my first guild. I was more efficient when I joined it so my roster grew much faster than everyone, and then due to inactivity the other bigger fish left me. I stayed because I was an officer and helped rebuild, but we were much lower in GP, just reaching the mins for the ROTE. Then quickly inactivity spiked, and we had to start kicking. We dropped members until we hit 35 then joined an alliance. The alliance helped us recruit but we kept having to kick for inactivity until we hit less than 25. At that point, having been the one that does all the orders and notifies people on discord and in the chat message in game along with spending time recruiting and helping people fix their mods I gave up. Guild fell apart. The new guild is much better gamewise and I don't have to do any officer stuff anymore but I feel like it's never gonna feel the same. I miss the old guild but I don't play this game because I want to spend time recruiting and rebuilding a guild that doesn't have enough GP to get me r8 materials.

Id say its time to get another guild. Cant do all of it alone. Sounds like you are the guild tbh.

Do what I did, leave. I basically did 90% of the work and showed more passion than all the others combined. What finally broke me was the day Krayt came and I started setting up the channels, putting in infographics, and asked the others what time we should launch? Nobody responded so I made the decision to launch the raid at a specific time. An hour before the launch, the leader asked when did we decide the time, etc? And I’m like nobody did and I’m not going to let our guild down because we officers couldn’t made a decision. It was that moment and some previous moments that drew the line. I loved the guild, but that was the last straw. I’m currently chilling in another guild as a regular member, I think I deserve the break lol.

What’s your GP? I’m in a 400m+ good with 3 spots open. Our current requirements are: Reva ready by October Jabba for raid, but he’s insane on defence

1
Melkisel•

Jabba is mandatory ? Nothing else matters ?

1
seeTODDsee•

Requiring Jabba is nuts at this point, especially with another raid on the way.

1
EvenmoardakkaBombad General•

Jabba will not be a bad GL suddenly because there's a new raid

​

but yea, having it mandatory is a bit bonkers.

1
seeTODDsee•

Of course he’s not bad, he’s amazing. Just pointing out bad leadership in making him mandatory at this point.

1
Broad-Conference-189•

Sorry worded it wrong. Not Mandatory, but be able to work on him. Reva is the one we have high focus on, which for us would be mandatory.

You are Just more competitive than your guild. You should search for a new one

1
DemitriDormasz•

Yeah it's time to move on my friend. Sadly it's just the way of things but if you keep going like this you'll burn out.

1
swgohfanforlife•

Either accept it as it is, or move on. Being in the middle will drive you nuts. I am in a similar situation but have stuck with my guild since the beginning. It's your choice, just know the tradeoffs. You still progress, just not as quickly as you could be.

1
AzlanWhite•

Yeah you'll need an organised guild. I'm a GL myself and my top priority is always having sufficient officers for each team (TW/TB/Recruiters) to limit the burnout as much as possible. I'll check on said teams every quarterly and will decide when more or less is better.

At the same time the assistant GL and myself will be the backup should and when the entire respective team is unavailable for TB/TW

Get into a real guild dude

Novalene_WildheartMission and Big Z FTW•

I was that with my last guild.

I carried the raids, I carried the TBs (to the best I could myself), I also did personal spreadsheet data tracking for better TW deployment. I advised on the raids.

AND THEY STILL, did the RANCOR raid...

And after the last LS GEO TB we did, where I was (and the dude with the GL Rey) were the only ones to clear any waves at all, I decided It was time to move on.

maiz10101•

I do all that and I'm a member

Mando_Ike•

It sounds like you enjoy the guild members you have but don’t have the support from fellow offices/GL. So bring it up in the officers chat and work with the alliance/officers to bring new officers in and replace the non-working ones. If they don’t support you then it’s time to leave.
