Although not all of us agree 100% with this comment, and some say that it could have been toned down a bit, i also think it is a case of frustration being vented as a result of past events.
I had hoped we could have avoided bringing them up, but it seems the after-effects were felt more deeply than I anticipated.
I would prefer to view it as a great loss on both sides, but it seems more deeply felt one way or another by players other than myself
If anyone in Labby feels like we screwed them over by leaving the guild then they are either misinformed of our reasons or really stupid(as in failing to comprehend). I'm very sad to see you justifying bm behavior. If this was reversed you would of given a verbal warning not to post and if they did again you would of given them a little vacation. This topic is about a very good ladder slasher that has been slashing in hard core for a long time having his first death. It's not about some crazy notion that karma is coming around. Yet a labby member starts posting bm crap in this topic and the leader of labby and also a mod does nothing about his spam. Rick, you are better then that and we all love you, but come on.
Now, since I can't post in your guild chat and this is already off topic.
Reasons we left Labby
Some(not all) of us didn't like the Vent because of a few labby members...most notoriously Raffles, Zaydn was a close second, but Raffles was the breaking point. It was too annoying to be on vent with our friends.
Even with all the steps just to be accepted, many "random" players that were either very bm or just outright scammer/thiefs or scum were still accepted.
The leaders of labby doing nothing to help labbys members out, they were only interested in how many gps you could get them and then bad mouth you just to do it(not all the leaders, but one is too many)
We wanted to do our own thing where we had some control of who was in our guild and not allow people just because they say they are a ladder slasher. We all are friends in our guild and that's a major bonus, anyone that belongs to a big guild and doesn't know all the members should recognize the benefits of being with a tight knit group of friends.
Although these reasons are not all inclusive and there are many factors, these are the ones that are pertinent to this conversation. Since we have left and made our own guild, we have recieved nothing but bm behavior from our former guildmates. Some of the members are still our friends and are very gm with us and we appreciate it and certainly respond in kind. The ones driving the wedge between us is curbed on our side. We've all discussed it and agreed not to post any negativity(if unwarranted) about any labby member. However we will certainly lower ourselves to your level when you insult us. We get just as much entertainment value out of a pissing match as anyone. You have some bad apples in your bunch that are flaming others. Rick you are a mod and none of us are, we are at your mercy. If you think that enough is enough, simply stop zaydn from posting his trash talk and the rest of us can get along amicably.
