Guild Advertisement During Stress Tests

Hey everyone. I haven't. Been able to get into the stress tests due to being on 2nd shift EST. Just seeing if we have people designated to post recruitment messages on in game chat. Many people I'm sure would love to find a guild such as ours but it probably doesn't occur to them to actively seek one pre-release.

Spam advertising in-game is not a good thing and to be honest I think it's a dying practice and we should actively avoid taking part in it.

This form of guild recruitment can attract unwanted anti-gblt attacks or prompt the inevitably "Why do you need a GBLT guild, couldn't you just not talk about it in a normal guild?" type of conversation.

People "should" actively research and pick a guild suitable for them and not just wait until they see a random guild spam and go with them because they have a cool name (or whatever else criteria you could get from a 200 character message). This is the entire reason why most MMO's have guild recruitment forums rather than in-game guild search mechanics.

I have yet to see any guild advertising in game and long may it continue. :)

I agree with Halish. Me personaly, i would not join a guild that spams chat channels. Because i have this feeling: if you advertise something to much, there must be something wrong with it. I prefer to be in a guild where people did a little effort to join up.

I can see where you guys are coming from. Well put.

In full agreement. Thank you :)

Any form of recruitment including forums will always bring in people who troll. It is completely inevitable in my opinion.

But if the guild is large enough to the point it doesn't need to advertise, I can agree with you on the spamming.
