Jeff,
Let me preface this by saying that if my tone seems condescending to you, blame my head and not my heart for that's not my intent. I understand the point you're trying to make. But you've been in, what, five guilds? By my own, admittedly bad memory, you've been in WMX, TS/SN, RVV, Legends, and your current guild. You've been the leader of two of them. Saying he's "ONE of the least hands-on guild leaders with whom you've interacted with" is not exactly the ringing endorsement that you'd make it out to be.
That's not the issue, anyway. I just, personally, found it interesting that you'd add that statement shortly after leaving RVV and starting a guild of your own. Read into that whatever you'd like to read into it. Still... I found it interesting since, whatever else you may be, a mouth breather is not one of them, IMO.
I don't mock the people that play guild wars (to each their own). I have not implied that everyone that plays guild wars are bullies. If you have inferred that, I'd suggest you read my posts again. That being said, many bullies use Guild Wars to ply their trade as the free-for-all system they designed, not only, lends itself but, actually, encourages that type of play. What I HAVE done is mock the feature the devs released and said that it's flawed for a varying number of reasons -- not the least of which is the ability for a third party guild to influence the outcome between two "warring" factions. That much has been proven. Or am I wrong?
You can believe we failed at guild wars but the bottom line is simple. While other guilds were pounding away on babies to get war points, we were hitting our already established enemies and ignoring the fabricated enemies. At level 5k+, I don't feel the need to beat on level 900's simply for war points. I didn't feel the need or desire to do it with you when you came back after a long hiatus and I don't feel the need or desire to do it now in pursuit of a shiny new virtual trophy. Calling that an embarrassment is an indictment of your (former) guild, not ours.
Oh... and real vikings didn't wear full plate mail, either. That's just you - LOL!
