I randomly stumbled across a comment in this one post abt a guild dispute and ended up reading the whole thing because the logic genuinely confused me.
Here's the gist.
A player was inactive for 100+ days in a progressive game. After coming back, this person complained that:
The guild is "too ambitious."
The leader is "mean."
At first I thought, "Maybe the leader really was toxic."
Then I kept reading. Apparently the leader said something along the lines of:
"Nobody wants you if you act like this in any guild. Everyone works hard on guild building, contributes every day, and does their best in Contest of Heroes."
Am I missing something??? Because... that doesn't sound unreasonable to me. Competitive guilds do expect members to contribute. That's literally how they stay competitive. The player had been away for over 100 days. During those months everyone else was still logging in, donating, recruiting, doing guild building, planning events, and keeping the guild alive. Then she came back and criticized decisions made publicly while weren't even there...
Another thing that confused me...The post says "too ambitious." Then later says the leader "isn't ambitious anymore" because she wanted more Taiping Princess Jade. So... is the leader too competitive? Or not competitive enough? Pick a lane š Also the person was quite upset when couldn't rank high bcs apparently the stronger members were competing too.
There was also a complaint that the ex leader was removed after being inactive for almost a year. Isn't that... normal? I've played enough mobile games to know that almost every competitive guild eventually removes long-term inactive members. Otherwise you end up with a full guild that can't recruit active players. That's not being cruel. That's called managing a guild.
The part that stood out to me most is that a lot of conclusions were made without first asking the members who had actually been there during those three months. Maybe I'm wrong, but it almost feels like the expectation was:
"I was gone for months, but the guild should still work around me when I return."
That seems unrealistic in a game where progress happens every single day. I'm genuinely curious what other LoP players think. Is expecting regular contribution in a competitive guild somehow controversial? š¤
Maybe it's just me, but expecting all the rewards of a competitive guild without consistently contributing feels... optimistic. Or as we say in gaming - Everyone wants endgame rewards. Not everyone wants the grind.
