Hello everyone, I know you've all been waiting for an announcement to address recent events and changes. I'm using this post to bring clarity to the situation by giving background on what led to it, but also what happens next.

The leadership has unanimously decided that it is in the best interest of the guild that I assume the role of Guild Master to restore trust in the position, maintain stability and to give us the best future going forward.

To put an end to speculation and the drama surrounding it, I will summarize where it came from.
Essentially, the two pug/alt/social MC raids run by Imba and Traxe were tailor-made to facilitate the funneling of items to be sold to a few select characters.
For this to work, the raids were stacked (class wise) in a certain way to reduce competition on items wanted for purchase. In addition, a small squad of players from the guild were also paid to play in those raids to carry and assist by passing gear on their alts.

As you recall, in the past few days a group of five friends from Raid #1 abruptly left the guild together and joined another guild. While this fact isn't very interesting on its own, it becomes problematic for many when one learns that the small guild these five players joined after happens to be the same one shared by all the characters paying for items in the pug raid.
It is easy to see how that looks and draw conclusions from it. While it cannot be proven or disproven that that were was something going on in Raid #1, it is important to remove all doubt if it could happen.

Therefore as a precaution and to dispell future suspicion, those knowingly involved in organizing the boosting will have no say in any loot distrubiton decisions.

I respect that people have strong feelings about all of this. However, for the good of the guild it is essential that you do not express your feelings in a destructive manner. This means refraining from unproductive trolling and flaming in all its forms, especially on public platforms.

In conlcusion, the reason for this guild existing is to be the very best in PvP and PvE, nothing will change about that.
We have achieved much in a short time, we will refocus and build upon that.

Thanks for reading.
