forgive me if this is the wrong forum first of all.
my question to you all is: if you were the leader of a top ranked guild (cape trimmed guild) would you sell invites to random people? (the average price is 100k to a former #1 tourney winner or w/e)
i for one wouldn't send invites to random pve newbs that have no idea what balanced means. i compare this to whoring you and your guildies out for pixel money.. but this is just my opinion.
what about you guys?
ok to sell invites?

I personally wouldn't do it.
But for those that do, meh....their choice.

i find it kind of dumb and what idiot would pay for 100k for ONE member when they can spend 10k and get a full guild ?

It bothers me more when people get mad because someone likes pve more than pvp. Like calling someone a pve scrub because they like it better and don't pvp too much. Just seems childish to me. If someone wants to do something more than something else, what is it to you?

I don't think the issue is whether a guild should pay to invite strangers. The real issue is whether strangers could trust that the guild won't boot them after they get invited and pay whatever the cost is.
To me, any guild selling invites smells of scam

It's a commodity like everything else, no worse than selling run's to low level's so they can get max armour

If you're bad, you purchase your way into a guild. Just like you'd pay someone to run you to grotto at lvl7, you pay someone to let you into their guild so that you can screenie yourself wearing a cape.

If they pay for it, which people probably do, then I see nothing wrong with inviting them and them giving you 100k, really.
Money is money. Their choice.

I don't like the people that do it, but I cant tell em not to.
Kinda like iPods... way over priced.. Peice of junk. But people dig em right up.

Why do people even care. You would have to be stupid to pay 100k for an invite. It's far more fun to play the game yourself than try to get a massive epeen stroke for being in a trimmed guild

Let idiots get dragged into it.
Speaking of which, can they remove [eF]'s gold cape status now?

It's a game. Get back to me when morale codes of what's right and wrong can be programmed into a game.

If PvE scrubs want to pay over 100k to be in a guild with a gold trim, let them. If I was leader/officer of a guild with a trim and people were willing to pay gold to show off my cape, sure, it's free gold.
No, I'm not calling PvE players scrubs. Read this post.

trim is a nice little perk. If someone wants to buy their way in, why not?

If I had a Gold Trim guild, I wouldn't sell invites for 100k.
I'd sell for 100k+50 ecto. Screw those morons who pay for invites, they can have their fun, and I'll make some cash. Idiots.

I guess I'm old fashioned then.
It's an acheivement of a well played match...and the trim is the trophy.
You don't see anyone renting out the Stanley Cup, or their Super Bowl rings..(I don't think...

I believe the saying goes:
"A fool and their money are easily parted"
Personally, I think anyone joining a guild for anything other than playing with friendly, likeminded people is pretty sad.
Can't say I'd touch any guild that wanted to charge you an admission fee to join, with a barge pole.

Morally? Different people have different morals.
In my general opinion, it is morally right. If you worked hard to earn that 100k, then it's your right to spend it on whatever you want. If someone sells an invite for 100k, then whatever.
This general opinion, of course, is different for real life... say NO to drugs!

If someone wants to pay money for an inflated sense of self-importance, that's their own problem.

It's not really immoral until the guild leader kicks them the next day. Well, unless they deserved it and being general pricks.

It is okay imo just might have scams involved...
But honestly, most top guilds sell the guilds then the buyers of the guild sell invites...
and if u see some random pve guy in (gold trim cape guild) u know its been sold lol (trying not to name names... but they're everywhere!)

I think that the only thing it brings is possible social stigma, and I personally wouldn't buy my way into a top guild or purchase a trim. While it isn't (and shouldn't be) a bannable offense, it's not something I agree with. I suppose that if someone really wants to get in a top guild, and has the money to do so, then he/she should do it.
