You are required to fill out an "Application" in order to get in the guild, like you're applying to a job, which is by far the WORST idea I think i've ever heard about online groups! If you must, use the In-Game Mail system to send applications, don't force us to go to your website, register our E-Mail in a questionable free-guild hosting website. This can be easily replaced by a simple conversation, and stupid questions like "What do you hope to bring to the guild?", these are really pointless questions, what kind of awnser would you say to that? "I hope to bring the healing I can perform??"
There's a niche of officers or higher up members in a closely knit niche.
They're the one always in every raid, and sign up to them months ahead of time without even knowing if they can actually go or not.
They have personal conversations in guild chat so that everyone can hear about how interesting they are.
When they speak in vent, everyone else is silent, also have personal conversations in vent.
They get raid entry and loot ahead of other, newer members.
Constantly falsely blaming themselves for everything in a desperate attempt to get sympathy and attention from other members.
IF THERE IS A FEMALE IN ANY GUILD, SHE IS ALWAYS TOP RANK!!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
Newer members get ignored.
I remember when you asked to join a guild, you're in! You want to raid with us? If you think you can do it, you're in! Raid signup? Whoever is online at the time is in! Loot? /roll highest wins it! None of this DKP or "Loot Council" foolishness.
My guild is not a example of this,
TL:DR - I have poor social skills and dislike being forced to work with others.
