Lost my guild through guild leadership change

This is the most backward !@# system that I was just informed about today.


The whole point of this amazing system is for guilds who have trouble when it comes to progression. This includes raiding guilds, social guilds and RP guilds.

My guild was completely a hub for my close friends, it had little, or No members whatsoever. The few strangers we're simply there for the past two years doing nothing. In general, it was my guild, where all my possessions were stored in the guild bank, and just, 3-4 members putting gold in the bank via perk

After we decided to focus on new characters in Auchindun, I receive word that some random, Low ranked member, had taken control of my level 25 guild, which had 5k in the guild bank, aswell as every item I owned in the world.


After making a ticket, I only get some annoying automatic response message, simply copy pasting the leadership transfer rules and an apology.


I for one, am furious, to loose everything to one idiot who I have never knew.


This system was designed to help Progressive players in an unprogressive guild, whereas my guild had NO progressive players and was just intended to be a friends hub.


This one idiot, took everything, stole the gold, kicked all my alts, and demoted every member to the lowest rank.

WHERE BLIZZARD? WHERE IS THIS PROGRESSION YOU PROUDLY TALK ABOUT?

I am going to loose it if I get another automatic response. This is not progression of my guild, this is thievery. I put time and effort into this guild, and it was taken from me WITHOUT WARNING. No one sent me an email that "You are inactive for 30 days, your leadership is now at a friken auction house" I didn't even get anything about him taking my position.

I want this issue solved TODAY. Not after a week, or month, so that I get a message going "Oh i'm sorry, our data could not record such an old data. I'm sorry Azuru, now may your wings shine brightly against the pretty pandas that await your future"



Normally, I am formal, not this person. You forced me into this guy, you took everything from me, and some random guy simply takes what is mine, whereas blizzard simply shurgs and says "Too late brah"


I want a blue post. Now.

- On behalf of Previous guild master of Team Alpha - Zenedar.

Well, the system isn't new, just the way you can do it is. Before you had to ticket a GM, now you can do it yourself ingame.

Quoting this part for truth.

OP: It has always been possible to replace a guild leader who has not been active in the guild for 30 days or more. It used to require an in game ticket, now it is available on the UI of the player most eligible to succeed the inactive guild leader.

Nothing has really changed except the demand on the support team to resolve an absent guild leader.

I was never informed of this change, and no one warned me in advance.

If you expect an email for every game change, I am afraid you will be sadly disappointed with any game you may choose to play now and in the future.

The Patch Notes are displayed for you whilst the patch downloads, if you choose not to read them, you reap what you sow. Lack of knowledge is not an excuse when said knowledge is provided to you.

As I said earlier, this is NOT a change, this has ALWAYS been possible. If a guild leader does not log at least once every 30 days, they can be replaced. Now it can be done without needing a ticket, that is all.

Anyone bothered to look up the guild? It has 93 members.

Indeed, and all 93 Seem to be rank 1 (officer). Odd.
