When I saw this, I just had to laugh....



Anyone got any other pics or quotes from recruiters who were just going about it the wrong way?

Yeah, I read something like that aswell, you had to pay 100g to go in the guild.

I pm'ed him saying: Do you really think ppl will join your guild after reading that?
But sadly he never replied.

What about the people offering 1k for someone to join. I dont know if I would really want the kind of people who would respond to that in my guild. Not to mention that most would quit right after they got their gold.

Because sadly enough he was probably swamped with people wanting to join, and was too busy to reply

"Who wants to join my guild?"

Umm...who the heck are you and why would I want to join your guild?

"New guild! First ten to join will be officers!"

That'll work - letting the ten most impulsive people join your guild who're all seeking power. Certainly the beginnings of a great, cohesive guild.

Some of those that spam offerings of letting the first 10 in to be officers, might be trying to sell the guild. Doesnt always work trying to sell that is, but I have heard stories of this.

it costs 100 gold to join... but then they pay you to stay....

Recruit Meh!

100G to join a guild? Prob because of the 100 gold you need to pay to invite. BTW what happend to Guild inviting sprees? Where you invite EVERYONE you can that dosen't have a guild in the pre-searint?
btw: hi PA! its Warrior SIX!

They should have a huge menu that has every guild listed and let the guilds choose whether they are recruiting or not. If they are, then the person wanting to join it could just send a message to the leader.

That is what forums and websites are for. No need to put this in game.

That's actually not a bad idea, because if everyone is an officer, only the leader can kick members.

I was helping some lower level characters through Ruins of Surmia with my ranger (lvl 16 or 17 at the time)

"You want to join our guild? You'd be like the 2nd highest level person and would be a shoe-in for an officer!"

"Yeah.... Thanks, but no thanks..."

I got my guild by entering Pre-Searing and seeing a guild called '[CUTE]' and I whispered the guild leader and said 'omgz! i want 2 b CUTE plz plz plz can i b CUTE???'

They make everyone an officer and encourage people to recrute anyone they can so everyone can engage in drinking parties and random henchmen GvG.

Sometimes when I'm in Tombs I put up silly recruiting slogans to pass the time while we check our skills, build etc. My favorite is "Dark Wing Cadre is Recruiting a Dominatrix. Must be into slap and tickle. School-Teacher outfit a real turn-on." Sadly, I have had many people respond!

How to not recruit for guilds:

Simplest way is not recruit. Solves that problem.

Harder way is kill every other person who plays guild wars so random people don't whisper you "Hey can I join ur guild? it looked kewl".

I vote the hard way. Let's kill stuff. I'll go get my nubstick.

That is just sweet. I might've given the poor chap the money to go buy himself a cape. I just love that innocence...

Mainly the guild name rather than the recruiting thing, but it was overspammed.

I once wrote: "Orange Roast Mafia recruiting! One active member! We have a cape and a hall. PM me." It's all true, so I thought some people might get a kick out of it. Anyway, it was a major pain to get that hall all by myself...

In Beacons Perch I saw a lvl 7 monk type this:
"Guild recruiting professional runners. Req. Must be able to pass test of running me to Droknars right now"


In Ascalon I saw these:
"Guild looking for active mature members 18yrs and over. Must be able to prove age"


self-recruitment at it's best:
"LVL 20 W/R rank 6 looking to join a guild that will buy me a full set of 15k armor and given officer status"

Hahaha. 'mature members' with age requirement. There's tons of very immature 18+'s, and also tons of very mature -18's, silly people for sure.. Prolly the recruiter wasn't really mature after all

Prolly should log the recruit messages, there's some pretty hilarious ones time to time...

I'm ok with "mature age" guilds. Though how they plan on asking you to "prove" it is beyond me. The other two... Not sure too much can be said about these...
