Mandatory sales figure/fees and the guldmaster then repeatedly failing to secure a trader (or one with enough traffic to meet said targets)

did leave a guild last night trader guild have to say they were very social , but just dislike you have to sell so much or be kicked , in most guilds most dont even bother to help , can understand everyone doing thier thing , its a mmo after all .

so in general its the weekly fee , or donation , raffle .

some players asking for help in a quest ,kill a world boss or a daily pledge , can you make me set armour , food etc .

only in 4 guilds now 1 social 3 trader , and them traders are now getting to the point fee or go .

so well done to the person who set up this wonderfull guild trader system , perhaps we can ask englands goverment to get that wonderfull person a knighthood .

do think with the system we have all smaller guilds with say 50 members can have a trader , out of the way in the starting areas , with limited slots to sell and a set fee to get it .

I divide guilds into three categories, so that my criteria depends on that:

• Trading: I gladly pay a weekly fee but I do expect a trader in a main city or, at worst in a secondary spot such as Daggerfall or Craglorn. I usually wait for the new traders then I pay my fees, so that I can decide whether to pay or not (I am paying for a service, in th eend). If a trading guild fails to win a good trader (or any trader at all) for a couple of weeks I leave.
• Trials: I do expect many trials during the week. Many normals. Several veteran. Progression runs each week. I don't mind if sometimes there is no spot for me, but I want the guild to be active. I expect crystals farm runs on the weekend. I enjoy hosting both normal and veteran trials myself. I leave if there is no activity. I don't expect any trader.
• Casual/Social: I am there mainly for the people. I don't expect neither a trader nor veteran trials. I do expect people to be friendly and help each other, questing for fun, helping each other getting a monster mask. I leave if the guild essentially dies.

In all cases I do expect people to respect others. I leave if the guild masters allow people to freely insult others.

#1 Mandatory fees or minimum sales
#2 Guild members voicing openly offensive opinions, with officers not reacting (or even approving it)
#3 Closed-circle guild chat where only people who're 'in' get talked to
#4 Frequent ignorance of people asking for help in guild chat

I leave when I am not treated right.

I'm socially awkard, very awkward. (asperger sydrom)

I'm leaving guilds when guildchat is too active sometimes, because i'm feeling extremely tired with all these social interactions quite fast.
I don't like at all when I'm in a guild, because I'm perceveing it like a restriction, a lack of liberty with the rules from the guild, so after fews weeks I'm leaving.
I left some guild, because they're not doing at all what they said in their announce for recruitment.
I'm a free spirit, and I enjoy playing solo mainly and being guildless. (hence, also avoiding players critizing me for being factionless in pvp).
I left guilds for avoid dramas, toxic peoples, and all uncessary rules and restrictions.
And sometimes I'm not really a diplomat.

Any conversation involving the term 'offensive' and a guild moderator/master siding with the offense-taker :^)

I haven't joined one yet, I'm pretty picky, but there are several factors that would influence my decision to leave a guild.

- Immaturity/Rudeness towards fellow members/new players
- Inactive leadership
- Unrealistic expectations, whether that be how often one can log on or mandatory fees. I'm a senior in college with a major that is project heavy and a minor in mathematics, I can't sign on everyday of the week for 4+ hours...
- Non-existent interaction, where even though lots of guildmates are online, virtually no one talks to each other over the course of several hours, consistently.
- Lack of Activities, while I might not be able to, or want to, join on weekly activities; having the option to join is always nice, plus they help alleviate the previous factor.

Basically, I look for an active, casual/social guild with friendly people, relaxed (if any) requirements, and regularly scheduled activities to partake in if desired. I also prefer guilds who's make-up is largely filled with older players, as they usually also have careers/jobs/college stuff to do so they are understanding that some days there are just not enough hours in a day to log on and play.

ETA: I say that because every guild I've been in, and eventually left, was a great guild with great people. It wasn't them, it was me.

Yeah, it's pretty much the same with me. I've been in and out a lot of guilds, only a couple I've had any cause to say anything I didn't like about them, but the real reason though is because of the same thing you said. I'm a pretty shy person, so it takes a special circumstance for me to feel like I belong there, and it's pretty hard to find. I don't even know what it is I'm looking for, but I find it sometimes and I stay a long time in those guilds, even if I am still pretty much just a lurker in those too for the most part lol.

When social guild with helpful and friendly people in non pressure atmosphere isn't social, friendly, helpful and non pressure at all (except in their locked "circle" ofc).

Easy....fee

Only reasons I have left have been fees or minimum sales. Also toxic chat - racism homophobia, elitism etc... no need for it al all.
