This has got to be against the Terms of Service: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW
The gist of it is that "Sissy Boys" is selling guild membership to their GW guild on EBay, which being an in-game asset of Guild Wars, reasonably constitutes as property belonging to ArenaNet.
Thoughts?
Selling Guild Membership - Illegal?

publicity stunt imo.

I thinks its a bigger offence calling themselves the top american guild 
And at the same time making it sound like it takes any real skill to win HoH's.

Im not that deep into the Terms of service and license agreement, but I see no problems with such.
Is says you can not sell accounts.
Is does not prohibit to sell virtual goods or invitations to whatever.
I bet theese guys have a Webserver or Chatserver to pay.

Guild Wars Collectors Edition: 79.99
Extra Headset: 19.99
New Video Card from Newegg: 189.99
Bidding to be in a "Renowned as America's Top Guild" :PRICELESS
that has got to be the funniest thing ever and i believe i read somewhere that Anet does not condone any form of selling anything for actual money.

I wouldn't be surprised if anyone accepted into the guild either gets kicked right back out or is never allowed to play in any battles with them.
Allowing people to purchase a spot in a guild, how low can you go?

I have NEVER seen this guild listed as winning HoH and I play GW ALOT, this is... ... disturbing to me actually...

I actually saw them win the HoH once or twice when I was on. But personally, I think that Idiot Savants guild seems more impressive.

Yah taht's kinda stretching it Sol.
But a lot of companies do claim all right sto ALL virtual possessions in the game which would include the guild (so basically Anet would own your guild and you would be renting it).
Not sure if that's how Anet phrases it but it's how OSI/EA did, SOE did, and Blizzard soooo yah.
So basically yah, selling a membership on ebay without giving Anet a cut is illegal.

That name in no way implies anyone's sexual nature. Pink has always been seen as a docile colour and "unmanly". Sissy also pretty much means "unmanly".
Would you be okay with it if their capes were green?

Hey, they are probably the top tombs team in the game, considering not alot of top teams even plays tombs anymore :P Their right in a sense. Big fish in small pond.

So what I meant was winning HoH is irrelevent when trying to figure who is the top guilds.

Idiotic guild. I wouldn't even want to join for free.

I wouldn't diminish the Sissy Boys' accomplishments in PVP. Winning in the Hall of Heroes isn't just as simple as like, flashing your tag and instigating such widespread panic that your enemies quit in despondent recognizance of inevitable defeat...
But paying for membership? Come on, sBs.... :P

Sissy Boys does nothing but exploit the pillars where they can't be hit with projectiles or melee, while casting gale, keeping the opposing hero down. Oh yeah, they're real "accomplished".
Nash
Winning in Hall isn't hard when you have 3 teams trying. Most other guilds are scrambling together 1 team. Doesn't make them good. They're just many.

Who cares? If they want to sell guild memberships for tiny sums, to people who will spam guild chat, let them.

BTW why is everyone worried about it being illegal? The only people who have the right to do anything as far making any charges would be ANet. Do I think its pathetic? No. Do I think someone buying that auction to get in? Hell ya. Let some fool or moron purchase it. Who cares?

sama is hot and so is n0
oh... we are on top in the n0 sB gvgs =)
our losses have mostly been to drops, or losing to great guilds, so i am not ashamed of very many losses in our record
oh i'd like to address our name... I dont think anyone has ever brought to my attention the possibility of our guild name being offensive. I dont think its a legit concern, but I dont want to offend anyone. We are some sissy boys, what can I say? being a sissy has nothing to do with one's sexual orientation. Unfortunately, you may have a different meaning for sissy in your mind, but I dont think most people share it. I just hope for a crowd that wishes the world to be understanding and accepting of them, they'd be just as accepting of a fun loving group of people, making fun of themselves using a word that is MUCH more often used to describe people that are not gay/lesbian. If you can't live with that, i'm sorry that we offend you =/.

Yes, they're undoubtedly skilled, and maybe they're the best american guild around right now. Which is kind of sad, considering their well-known behavioral issues and now their selling memberships on e-bay.
Oh well, you don't expect grown-up people with a real life and little time to waste on videogames to excel, do you?

This is a joke, not a way of making money. Like a lot of things on Ebay.

well known behavorial issues?!? please give me a break. It is true that a few people may have seen a member talk out of line, but I believe we've taken care of those few instances. People have been cut for their behavior. However, our behavior was never what I would consider a widespread epidemic of trash talking sissy boys. I am going to have to say, that any kind of bad reputation was spread by the usual haters, not by people who actually saw our members being incredibly out of line.
Mormegil, try gettinig to know us before you judge us. We havent' judged you, why judge us?
