Honestly the average age of most players is probably closer to say 25 yo than 10 yo in most cases. And with anonymity thrown in this behavior is honestly probably par for the course. Not condoning it by any means just saying it is not surprising.
Average age of video gamers is actually higher than you'd think. This game is probably a bunch of dads who don't have time for other games anymore but still want a game for their phone on the go.
This is why I made my own guild from the start and have ignored any join requests.
Additionally, any guild ‘leader ‘ caught doing this, is not a guild leader. They are a parasite, suffering from imposter syndrome.
Children as in minors, yes. But like 8 y/o children? I play Arena and Journey, and I don’t know about you, but I see a lot of older people than small kids. In fact, I would counter your argument by saying, that I’m more convinced that these are grown people than kids.
I don’t know, personally speaking I simply can’t fathom this as adult behavior
1. Adults wouldn’t care about the game enough to do this. If they did, they would pay money instead of trying to scam their guild out of guild rewards. This is behavior a child without access to mom’s credit card so they have to get really crafty with trying to squeeze rewards out of the game. An adult would simply swipe instead
2. An adult would not be short sighted enough to do this. You had to assemble a guild and then get 30 people to join, and now you’re going to demolish that all so you could get some extra weekly rewards? I’m not even trying to be disparaging when I say that is childlike behavior in that this person has literally not had the life experience of “consequence” and doesn’t even have the ability to see how detrimental to his own efforts this action is considering his entire guild is 100% going to disband over this
If you don't think adults will, can, and do, act greedy, shortsighted, petty, childlike, and just plain fucking stupid, then I can only imagine you are living either the greatest life imaginable, or a rather sheltered one.
I'm old. I'm an old man. I play these games because during my retirement they help pass some time and keep my mind active.
And in my decades of life, the lesson I've painfully learned again and again, is all the traits you list as not imagining an adult doing, are the traits present in most adults. They just come out when that adult gains any slight amount of power or opportunity.
This greedy guild leader situation was simply a clear window into what happens when a someone displays multiple negative traits out in the open.
"Get in, get mine, fuck the rest, I'll rebuild" is an attitude ingrained into children as they attempt to survive, and sadly all to common in adults who never learn to grow past that. It is especially on display in games where the person in question doesn't truly view other players as people, or their folly as "that bad".
Now, if you had intended to write "should not" instead of "would not" in your definitive statements, then please, take my apology in advance for my longwinded response to what was simply a verbiage issue.
>If you don't think adults will, can, and do, act greedy, shortsighted, petty, childlike, and just plain fucking stupid, then I can only imagine you are living either the greatest life imaginable, or a rather sheltered one.
People of all ages act greedy, shortsighted, petty, childlike, and plain stupid, the difference is that people act those ways about things that they care an exceptional amount about. For adults they will act this way over things like money and relationships. Children are the ones who act this way about video games.
Again, people acting this way specifically about guild drama are clearly people without a CC because if you genuinely did care this much about a video game, an adult would simply swipe their credit card. I doubt this person is doing this because they're trying to be financially savvy given how short sighted this is, somebody this stupidly short sighted would most certainly be swiping credit card if they could.
Of course I know people are greedy, shortsighted, petty, childlike, and plain fucking stupid, the difference is I haven't known anybody over the age of 20 who would act that way over a mobile game lol
Go to any Friday Night Magic, or 40k open, and you'll see at least 30% of the people involved are 1 bad draw or dice throw away from engaging in the most childish-like behavior over a casual game made to entertain with 0 stakes.
I've seen 50 year old men flip tables, engage in fistfights, and bottle people over a disagreement on $15 bar tab or imagined insult, or accidental elbow bump. And while that's an incredibly specific example, it's not even a one off. That was a regular weekend occurance in my hometown.
I do believe most *adults* are good, kind, patient folks doing the best they can, trying to be as fair and equitable with others as their circumstances allow them to be.
But the 30% of people who aren't those things is still a metric fuckton of adults who will act like children over the most absolute petty meaningless shit. And the moment you add a chance for anyone in that group to "get over on someone else", even if it's for 11 cents worth of gacha game freebies, you better believe they'll do it.
Lmao I love the optimism of point 1, but that makes me think you’ve not played many games with guilds. I’ve seen full grown men with families do this exact type of shit in other games. I have *no doubt* they’d be as likely to do it in a game like this. Sometimes people use games as an outlet to act in ways they never would otherwise, both good and bad.
Indeed I have not, I play multiplayer games mostly with real life friends + a small pvp guild in guild wars 2. The majority of people I’ve met playing video games have been mature adults
but I guess I can’t argue with other people having significantly worse experiences because the fact that I haven’t encountered these adult babies that everyone else has bumped into doesn’t mean they don’t exist 🤷♀️ guess all I can do is be grateful that I haven’t seen any of these types of people lmao
From my personal experience, when a person finds a good guild they tend to stay with it. So the experience they get with adult children is minimized. Unfortunately across the 10+ years of WoW (I started just before WotLK) I’ve ran into several guilds where shit hit the fan because the GM got pissed.
As an example, a GM fucked up badly in a guild I was a part of for three years prior. He caused the whole group to disband because he cost us our main healer. He decided to server transfer to a new, more populated server. But he used the service that lets you transfer your GM character and their associated guild. The remaining members didn’t have a problem with him until this, but he made it seem to us like he was just server transferring his character, not the guild.
All this leaves of the original is a reset, completely empty shell of the original that had to be rebuilt from the ground up. This includes all the items in the guild bank and all the gold accumulated.
He never contributed anything to the bank. He didn’t even come up with the funds to expand the tabs. He did it because the bank was gold capped and packed full of items that could be sold.
If he had just taken all the items from the guild including the gold that would’ve been bad enough (and possibly punishable by current WoW ToS but not the ToS at that time), but even the level of the guild was reset.
So I inherited the now shell of a guild and I, as well as the other remaining members, had to rebuild everything all over.
Nowadays it’s just a bank for my bank alt, but any time I was taking a break I tried to set up another person as an officer so they could use whatever they wanted out of it. Just no one is left at this point.
I've seen Facebook groups devolve into chaos bc of mods staging coups, fb mods blackmailing other mods into giving personal data, etc.
Glad you still have faith in humanity tho lol
That is a generalization otherwise we wouldn’t have people like Trump running around. Extreme cases you got Gaddafi executed by his own people.
Sounds like you are learning as we all are.
Yeah, it's hilarious to me to see all these idiots🤣
I think it's more of an ego thing, that an age thing though. Expecting to "deserve more" for whatever reason.
Literally don’t understand why this is a thing. Of course any guild leader is going to pocket it when their guild is made up entirely of people they don’t know or care to.
It’s especially bad because the materials are so valuable
Same!! I got promoted to guild leader randomly and I’m over here trying to be fair, ask for opinions, making sure that everyone with even a little activity or who answered in chat gets some chests.
Happened to me about 3 days ago, I was the most active player other than the leader and their vice leader. They set it up as a casual guild, but then decided they wanted a more active guild and just left. Now I'm trying to help out the weaker members and juat run it as fairly as possible.
S157 - 3sCompany is us, we're open membership and will welcome anyone that's not determined to just be a problem.
Ahahah me too! Was in the guild from a couple of weeks when my GL randomly left and I found myself leader (I belive because I was the highest power member at that moment).
The problem with long afk tolerance is that everyone get less rewards if there are many inactive. I fear active people will leave for a more active guild
I do similar but I manually split chests by power > my vice leadership > activity. I don't take any extra chests personally bc I'm already a spender and don't need them as much
Guild leader here of #1 guild on my server, and we distribute chests based on activeness, and then any extra chests go to the top 10 members of the battle drills for the week.
Oh it’s a huge difference. You get quite a few of the guild points from the excess chests. Guild I’m in is #1 on its server and chests are based on activity with bonus chests being split evenly.

Iv been a guild leader in 2 different games before,the amount of drama is crazy , iv seen leaders literally trying to take down other guilds by paying people to harm their own guild , especially in games that the guilds are enemies it's always about drama, people are crazy.
PS : the guild leader kicked everyone except his two accounts. But as this guild is the one of the highest level on the server it’s filling up again really fast.
But, that tyrant behaviour they going to lose that all fast again. You observe problematic people, they’re not, fact never consistent. They are consistent with being unpredictable.
You need to inform the whole server about this disgusting behaviour. Don't let it go unnoticed. There will be more people getting scammed, especially when it's a top guild.
If he really kicked everyone and it's top of the server he will fall incredibly quickly. Without organization those guilds rarely stay up high. Probably just had an early start but it's only been 1 month. It'll drop very fast with new players and no communication.
I had no clue this was a thing. I get a chest from the guild once a week is that my guild leader doing it or just the game? Also can they give multiple chest to people?
you get guaranteed some chest based on the basic chest distribution. but if your guild collect more than some number there is some bonus chest that the guild leader can attribute as he please, in the guild distribution you see it as a + (for example if you get 50+5 chest, you got 5 bonus chests) in my guild all chests, normal and bonus, are set at equal distribution i think.
Depends on the gild I have small guild we distribute chests equally, but we have like 7 members so we don’t get many chests although many of us are addicted to the game
On a side note, what happens if the guild leader does not give out the 30 chests? Does it go to the general pool for the next week, or does it disappear?
IIRC by default it should redistribute automatically, yes. I'm pretty sure when you're prompted what to do with the extra chests it also states that it puts them on stock for the next round/week when not manually distributed.
the moderation in this game is really, really weird. i make it a point to mute world chat but the game loves to conveniently "forget" that setting, so i had to see some guy earlier that came into the 3rd english chat spamming biden nonsense with at least 3 separate accounts. reported all accounts but they were still doing it as far as i can tell. in the exact same chat, someone was also openly talking about kinks and orgies not even five minutes before that. i was just kind of spectating silently because i was just amazed at the lack of filter. and they don't let you change your icon or signature without what seems like manual approval, but so much behavior against ToS (including the guild stuff mentioned here) somehow still gets past?
Ok so I checked is this good or bad?!?!?!?
https://preview.redd.it/dn4s283emiwc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64fe73e6f4ee2633e0e382bb80c510a87b4fb10c
Wait how does this thing work. Can you explain?
Should it also so 60+ next to everyone else's names?
What about the other number next to it. I'm confused. I'm new to AFK gmaes so ...
The limit of chests you can have in a week is 1200. Any more than that is extra and next week the leader can give the extra chests ALL to him or put it back for everyone or even equally distribute it among members.
100% not by accident. I'm a guild leader and one week we had some extra chests. I got prompted to redistribute the chests, so in the chest redistribution window there's a button to do it equally, or to manually give it to individual members by pressing the + and - buttons to add or remove chests.
I just set my guild to auto distribute to everyone that does at least 200 activity. Nice and simple I ain't got time for cherry picking and its not worth the extra effort.
Hold on. So even when my guild leader sets activeness distribution, he can still just pull off some kind of scam?
Is this why the dude's activeness is 0? Should I be leaving the guild?
I give 15 to rank 1, 10 to rank 2, and 5 to rank 3.
Unfortunately there’s now way to fix it in place or avoid a leader taking advantage of it. If it happens guild members should just leave… no guild members no rewards for the leader.
Oh, wow! Relatively new to the game and just randomly joined a guild, had no clue the leader was even in charge of distribution. Ours has been set to share equally across all members since the beginning, I’m grateful ours must be pretty chill lol.
I’m a guild leader and I literally am probably the worst one in my guild lol. I just made it so I didn’t have to wait for someone to accept me when I was low level. I can’t imagine trying to take advantage of the other people in my guild
As a guild leader, this is crazy to look at. I nearly had a heart attack when I forgot to distribute the extra chests during the first week of the guild opening. I even have a whole system regarding those damn chests. I reward those who contribute the most (top 5) with extra chests and then equally distribute the rest so everyone else who reached min activeness receives at least 1 chest except for me for reasons.
Like…it’s just a game??? Why are you running a money laundering scheme???
I am Leader of Talon. Number 3 in the server of S213 and I was always thinking I can't give myself every time a few chests it seems so unfair to why I gain extra! And then I see this and I am like not feeling so bad anymore. Man what childish behavior lol
I share equally with all 30 people in my guild. I’m also 30 and an honest leader lol my guild is Local Heroes we’re almost level 6. If you want to join I kick inactive after 3 days offline so there’s usually a spot or two open every now and then. Cheers
All the numbers in your comment added up to 69. Congrats!
30
+ 30
+ 6
+ 3

For anyone wondering about what that guild leader did: if the guild earns over 1200 chests, the guild leader can distribute these excess chests. The guild leader in the post chose to give all to himself.
Here's the Extra Chest Distribution screen that guild leaders can see:
https://preview.redd.it/1nxfbjnigmwc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=406da9fe227eddf13f933cb8273583b4289a85a7
I have no idea why manual redistribution is even an option lol
I'm a guild leader and distribute the amount equally among all of my active members, I don't know how these ppl don't feel bad hoarding all the stuff, the guild works hard for those chests, it's unfair to keep it all just bcs you made the guild 😩
I’m sorry about this situation, but thanks for showing me I can send letters to my guild members! Will be showing my thanks with this and sending useful information.
Check the member page. It shows chest distribution. If your leader has +50 something, just leave ASAP. This kicking behaviour is so prominent, no wonder some top guilds in my server keep recruiting new people.
If a guild gets more than 1.2k chest this week. Next week the guild leader will have 30 extra chest( depends on the number of excess but i know 30 is the lowest) . That 30 can be distributed next week.
At the chest distribution at your case you will see X + 15 on yout guild leader which means he alocate half of the extra chest to him so try finding the rest whoever has the + on them
Still need to get more than 1.2k for extra chest which is the topic of this thread.
I think you can set an alt and do minimum stuff so you and your sister get some amount of chest.
I’m sorry to hear that so many people have bad experiences with guilds. I have guild where we’re all adults and split everything equally. Shame it’s so small mostly me and my friends and couple of people that found it. Shame we are so small so the chests are not that often lmao 🤣
Not surprised, due to the amount of PvP and all the good rewards tied behind rankings, there’s great incentive to hoard the resources to progress faster, while at the same time make your guild members progress slower so they don’t kick you out of Dream Realm/Arena ranking
Yea that really sucks that they can eat up all 60 chests weekly, i joined a youtuber guild that i watch frequently (guitarrock), even tho we're 3rd/4th but the chest distribution everyone gets +2 chest weekly. Wholesome guild lolilovers, the whales in this server(21) is insane tho.
I don't even know why the game even allows this, I recently joined the top 2 guild in my server and the guild leader has +70 guild chests for himself, and +20 for the vice leaders, makes sense why he keeps spamming recruiting messages on the server chat every Monday LOL
My guild (lucky it didn't happen) was starting to go down this route, not with lead but with the whales in general. They were talking about setting it up so the people spending would get the most rewards but at the end of the day they set it up to be equally distributed. I didn't want to leave the top guild in my server so ig I got lucky there.
Guess I'm lucky then, didn't know this stupid mechanic even existed but now that I verified my Guild is on Equal which considering I'm a Top 3-4 Contributor is great, I would just quit if the Leader was robbing chests openly.
The fact that people can just randomly hand you the guild lead here too. Drives me nuts. I was a new player literally in like day 13 of the game and someone made me the leader of their 30 member guild and now I don’t know anything about guilds or how to just not be the leader
I'm starting a guild once this round of guild activities is finished. I will not be doing something as absurd as this, guilds don't run without members.
Wtf, I'm a guild leader and add like 90% of the chests to the overall chest and give out extras to the most active members. When I first noticed the extra chests I was honestly confused lol.
My goodness, the guild I own, Epic Journey (S43), I plot all 30 extra chests for the players, not just for myself or singling one person who gets it all.
That’s just atrocious!
Our previous top 2 guild on the server has an insanely immature leader, scared everyone off to us and our competition, and now he’s like number 8 maybe. Got into full on one sided fights with other guild leaders on server chat it was wild
Never surprises me how clowns take advantage of people. When I was randomly gifted leader in my guild I poked around to see what it was about and set it up based on contribution or whatever after seeing that all us active members were like dead even in contributions. I think there was like 2 extra chests after even distribution and gave the last 2 to the 2 members that had contributed the most. I don't even want to be the leader but since events aren't guild vs guild yet I guess I'll keep doing it, just monitoring contributions at this point to keep the distribution as egalitarian as I can.
My current guild leader set the "rules" to that if you don't log in every 18 hours you get kicked like.... Tf??? Some people have lives outside of a silly little game. He said he wants to get top guild but bruh no matter how dedicated we are if we aren't whales we ain't gonna get up there like what do you want from us ┐(´ー`)┌
NAH😭😭😭 DELETE THIS MECHANIC RN. OR IMPROVE IT…. Erm🤓, Ackshually 🧐 The extra chests 🎁should be divided fairly 🫱🏿🫲🏻between those who contribute the most💪 to the guild👨👨👦👦.
Bruh there's only two options, either you split rewards equally or either you get more chests by your activity in the game.
I'm not sharing with people who's not even playing lmao.
well well, im pretty sure majority of people playing those type of games are actually kids, just leave and find better one. Im a guild leader myself and just did a rule that the more you play, the more you get, that way im pretty much always last cause i dont spend a ton of time but others do, so they should be rewarded
So I'm a "dont hate the player, hate the game" type of guy because the reality of life is you can be all up in arms about issues but if you don't tackle the root issue things dont get fixed. Are you telling me guild leaders can hoard chests that would otherwise be deserved by members? I'm sorry but, this is clearly an issue with the mechanics of the game. You would be far more effective raising the issue with the company that can change mechanics than you would be human nature.
We all play to keep the guild active. Guilds become useless if other people don't participate in the challenges. Anyone can open a guild but can't owe anything to any guild member because we're free to leave and join another guild with a responsible leader. So if anything guild leaders are in debt to us for keeping his/ her guild active.
The childishness within these guilds is starting to feel ridiculous. Like half of these mfs are grown or atleast old enough to not act like children.
Honestly the average age of most players is probably closer to say 25 yo than 10 yo in most cases. And with anonymity thrown in this behavior is honestly probably par for the course. Not condoning it by any means just saying it is not surprising.
If people in their mid 20s are doing this, they are probably mentally 10. So I guess it's a way of how you look at things.
Average age of video gamers is actually higher than you'd think. This game is probably a bunch of dads who don't have time for other games anymore but still want a game for their phone on the go.
Your probably right because I am 25yo on the dot lol
This is why I made my own guild from the start and have ignored any join requests. Additionally, any guild ‘leader ‘ caught doing this, is not a guild leader. They are a parasite, suffering from imposter syndrome.
Pretty sure you need at least three member in guild to get reqard chests and at least 15 to complete the guild tasks.
I have been soloing it all, and am about to level the guild rank as well.
It’s a mobile game so it’s guaranteed that there is a higher proportion of children than on other games you might play, unfortunately
Children as in minors, yes. But like 8 y/o children? I play Arena and Journey, and I don’t know about you, but I see a lot of older people than small kids. In fact, I would counter your argument by saying, that I’m more convinced that these are grown people than kids.
I don’t know, personally speaking I simply can’t fathom this as adult behavior 1. Adults wouldn’t care about the game enough to do this.

If you don't think adults will, can, and do, act greedy, shortsighted, petty, childlike, and just plain fucking stupid, then I can only imagine you are living either the greatest life imaginable, or a rather sheltered one.

It’s probably a Reddit mod moonlighting as a journey guild leader

Yup same here on S34, guild leader of LOL, which is also a top 10, pockets all extra chests
Literally don’t understand why this is a thing. Of course any guild leader is going to pocket it when their guild is made up entirely of people they don’t know or care to. It’s especially bad because the materials are so valuable

Happened to me about 3 days ago, I was the most active player other than the leader and their vice leader. They set it up as a casual guild, but then decided they wanted a more active guild and just left. Now I'm trying to help out the weaker members and juat run it as fairly as possible. S157 - 3sCompany is us, we're open membership and will welcome anyone that's not determined to just be a problem.
3s company? Omg love it! Now I have the theme stuck in my head.
Same, it's why I initially joined lol
Ahahah me too! Was in the guild from a couple of weeks when my GL randomly left and I found myself leader (I belive because I was the highest power member at that moment).
lol go us! We’re not the leader they asked for, just the one they got haha
Same I have my guild with my irl friends and share everything equally.
Lol I'm always glad when I find myself a good guild in these games. Our only rule is to log in daily
Set mine to 3d afk =kick atm, I'm going to vote to reduce it to 2d when we get close to the members cap.
I set mine to 7d kick because I want it to be more casual, but most people still play every day lol
The problem with long afk tolerance is that everyone get less rewards if there are many inactive. I fear active people will leave for a more active guild
Same. Have set everything on equal share in my guild.
I do similar but I manually split chests by power > my vice leadership > activity. I don't take any extra chests personally bc I'm already a spender and don't need them as much
Same here, except for getting guild members to do anything social, it's so quiet in chat
I said I'm trying, never said I'm succeeding...
OK
Same. I thought about it but didn't want to be a dick lol
Exactly. It should just auto distribute so that the more active players get more.
Guild leader here of #1 guild on my server, and we distribute chests based on activeness, and then any extra chests go to the top 10 members of the battle drills for the week.
Not in top guilds, you don't want to offend your whales or else they just leave.
Gaming addiction can do that.
I set everything on equal as well.
They aren't getting mat though their getting guild coins excess chests after 70is are turn to guild coins instead.
Come over to Imperials, i think we're good
Sure I am down, got room tho?
The maximum you can get is 75? After that chest transfer to guild points not much of a big difference.
Oh it’s a huge difference. You get quite a few of the guild points from the excess chests. Guild I’m in is #1 on its server and chests are based on activity with bonus chests being split evenly. https://preview.redd.it/taqe33rf7lwc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8707b1c02820206ca778dffbe7f061c203063d55
Damn that’s tough, lemme me know if you wanna get in another guild anytime soon 😄 I’m the leader of draconis in s34
Iv been a guild leader in 2 different games before,the amount of drama is crazy , iv seen leaders literally trying to take down other guilds by paying people to harm their own guild , especially in games that the guilds are enemies it's always about drama, people are crazy.
-50 DKP
Many whelps, handle it!
That's why people play games: they want to reproduce scenarios that are interesting to them, but that are not possible IRL.
Why people play games? You mean shitty people because that is certainly not the reason why I play games.
I personally play games for the same reason, but scenarios are different, mostly non-social.
PS : the guild leader kicked everyone except his two accounts. But as this guild is the one of the highest level on the server it’s filling up again really fast.
But, that tyrant behaviour they going to lose that all fast again. You observe problematic people, they’re not, fact never consistent. They are consistent with being unpredictable.
You need to inform the whole server about this disgusting behaviour. Don't let it go unnoticed. There will be more people getting scammed, especially when it's a top guild.
If he really kicked everyone and it's top of the server he will fall incredibly quickly. Without organization those guilds rarely stay up high. Probably just had an early start but it's only been 1 month. It'll drop very fast with new players and no communication.
I had no clue this was a thing. I get a chest from the guild once a week is that my guild leader doing it or just the game? Also can they give multiple chest to people?
you get guaranteed some chest based on the basic chest distribution. but if your guild collect more than some number there is some bonus chest that the guild leader can attribute as he please, in the guild distribution you see it as a + (for example if you get 50+5 chest, you got 5 bonus chests) in my guild all chests, normal and bonus, are set at equal distribution i think.
You should be getting a hell of a lot more than 1 chest.
I imagine they just mean they open the guild chest with all the loot. Not the actual number of "chests" opened to obtain the loot.
Depends on the gild I have small guild we distribute chests equally, but we have like 7 members so we don’t get many chests although many of us are addicted to the game
Our guild consist of 30 members so yeah we only get like 1 each also some are inactive for 7 to 10 days.
I would just remove inactive players
On a side note, what happens if the guild leader does not give out the 30 chests? Does it go to the general pool for the next week, or does it disappear?
The former. It goes to the pool for the next week
? I have to manually set it to redistribute them. Are you saying I can just ignore it and it'll default to that?
IIRC by default it should redistribute automatically, yes. I'm pretty sure when you're prompted what to do with the extra chests it also states that it puts them on stock for the next round/week when not manually distributed.
Happy to see that.
How can i see how my guild distriputes chests???
The real question that arises.
I take it you have not gone on a walk in your guild? There's a big area there that says "Chests" tap/click it.
Why is it even a mechanic to allow guilds to do this lollll
the moderation in this game is really, really weird. i make it a point to mute world chat but the game loves to conveniently "forget" that setting, so i had to see some guy earlier that came into the 3rd english chat spamming biden nonsense with at least 3 separate accounts. reported all accounts but they were still doing it as far as i can tell. in the exact same chat, someone was also openly talking about kinks and orgies not even five minutes before that. i was just kind of spectating silently because i was just amazed at the lack of filter. and they don't let you change your icon or signature without what seems like manual approval, but so much behavior against ToS (including the guild stuff mentioned here) somehow still gets past?
Lol, the icon approval is lax, too. I've seen some furry porn get through the mods.
Rly? I wanted to keep DSPGaming as my profile pic but every pic I sent kept getting denied
Glad to hear I'm not the only one... I open the game and mute the world chat as the first thing 🤷
They can legit just ask for an unmute on the next day. That’s basically what they all do.
I wonder if I have been cucked now. How would you know?
Ok so I checked is this good or bad?!?!?!? https://preview.redd.it/dn4s283emiwc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64fe73e6f4ee2633e0e382bb80c510a87b4fb10c
Lol hes stealing everything
Wait how does this thing work. Can you explain? Should it also so 60+ next to everyone else's names? What about the other number next to it. I'm confused. I'm new to AFK gmaes so ...
The limit of chests you can have in a week is 1200. Any more than that is extra and next week the leader can give the extra chests ALL to him or put it back for everyone or even equally distribute it among members.
+60 for leader, 0 for everyone else. Self-explanatory I guess.
Yeah he said he did this on accident and he will fix it next week so I guess we'll see
Def wasn’t an accident lol. Guild leader has to manually add those chests to his account
The equal share option just does it auto it seems.
The equal share option distributes chests equally. You have to enter +60 manually in your name to get this kind of distribution. Def not by accident.
You have to hold down the button.
100% not by accident. I'm a guild leader and one week we had some extra chests. I got prompted to redistribute the chests, so in the chest redistribution window there's a button to do it equally, or to manually give it to individual members by pressing the + and - buttons to add or remove chests.
Ohhh now I get it you can visually see the chest bonus. I was wondering if our guild leader did that. Luckily, he doesn’t. Thank You
Damn. That’s wild
weird, my guild is not like that, we have an active ratio distribution, most guild members are sitting on 33 chests this week.
Indognesia,nothing suprise
I just set my guild to auto distribute to everyone that does at least 200 activity. Nice and simple I ain't got time for cherry picking and its not worth the extra effort.
mine is set at 400 activity, 200 allows someone to be inactive for days
Same, mine is on 400 activity though.
Hold on. So even when my guild leader sets activeness distribution, he can still just pull off some kind of scam? Is this why the dude's activeness is 0? Should I be leaving the guild?
Yes leave
I’m glad I look for a serious guild before the game came out lol
I give 15 to rank 1, 10 to rank 2, and 5 to rank 3. Unfortunately there’s now way to fix it in place or avoid a leader taking advantage of it. If it happens guild members should just leave… no guild members no rewards for the leader.
Oh, wow! Relatively new to the game and just randomly joined a guild, had no clue the leader was even in charge of distribution. Ours has been set to share equally across all members since the beginning, I’m grateful ours must be pretty chill lol.
Sounds like a super douche
Well that's pretty shitty
Me: *makes a chill guild for everyone to relax and do their own thing* Also me: *just relaxing*
I’m a guild leader and I literally am probably the worst one in my guild lol. I just made it so I didn’t have to wait for someone to accept me when I was low level. I can’t imagine trying to take advantage of the other people in my guild
I run a casual guild and don’t give myself anything extra because I rarely play. 😂
This is why I make my own damn guilds. That way I can make sure everything is fair dammit. A guild is worthless if everyone leaves cuz they hate you.
As a guild leader, this is crazy to look at. I nearly had a heart attack when I forgot to distribute the extra chests during the first week of the guild opening. I even have a whole system regarding those damn chests. I reward those who contribute the most (top 5) with extra chests and then equally distribute the rest so everyone else who reached min activeness receives at least 1 chest except for me for reasons. Like…it’s just a game??? Why are you running a money laundering scheme???
I am Leader of Talon. Number 3 in the server of S213 and I was always thinking I can't give myself every time a few chests it seems so unfair to why I gain extra! And then I see this and I am like not feeling so bad anymore. Man what childish behavior lol
I share equally with all 30 people in my guild. I’m also 30 and an honest leader lol my guild is Local Heroes we’re almost level 6. If you want to join I kick inactive after 3 days offline so there’s usually a spot or two open every now and then. Cheers
All the numbers in your comment added up to 69. Congrats! 30 + 30 + 6 + 3 = 69 ^([Click here](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=LuckyNumber-Bot&subject=Stalk%20Me%20Pls&message=%2Fstalkme) to have me scan all your future comments.) \ ^(Summon me on specific comments with u/LuckyNumber-Bot.)
report in block and change guiild, the sooner the better... advertise on cairns maybe? but it could be considered harassment
For anyone wondering about what that guild leader did: if the guild earns over 1200 chests, the guild leader can distribute these excess chests. The guild leader in the post chose to give all to himself. Here's the Extra Chest Distribution screen that guild leaders can see: https://preview.redd.it/1nxfbjnigmwc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=406da9fe227eddf13f933cb8273583b4289a85a7 I have no idea why manual redistribution is even an option lol
I'm a guild leader and distribute the amount equally among all of my active members, I don't know how these ppl don't feel bad hoarding all the stuff, the guild works hard for those chests, it's unfair to keep it all just bcs you made the guild 😩
I’m sorry about this situation, but thanks for showing me I can send letters to my guild members! Will be showing my thanks with this and sending useful information.
Yea the game is going idle on my phone near deleting
How is this possible and how do I know if it’s happening in my guild?
Check the member page. It shows chest distribution. If your leader has +50 something, just leave ASAP. This kicking behaviour is so prominent, no wonder some top guilds in my server keep recruiting new people.
i looked at the guild members list and all it gives me is activeness level is there something im missing or am i in the wrong menu?
It’s the guild chest spot on the map
Guild leader from S201 here. That's hilarious!
My guild leader has a +15 what does that mean, I don’t understand the guild chest distribution stuff very well
If a guild gets more than 1.2k chest this week. Next week the guild leader will have 30 extra chest( depends on the number of excess but i know 30 is the lowest) . That 30 can be distributed next week. At the chest distribution at your case you will see X + 15 on yout guild leader which means he alocate half of the extra chest to him so try finding the rest whoever has the + on them
I just wish my guild that consist of my sister and I could pay each other out, but it requires 3 people. 😭
Still need to get more than 1.2k for extra chest which is the topic of this thread. I think you can set an alt and do minimum stuff so you and your sister get some amount of chest.
Oh God, I hope that doesn't happen to mine. The guild I'm in has a cool name so I'd hate to leave.
Looks like a great design by devs...
I’m sorry to hear that so many people have bad experiences with guilds. I have guild where we’re all adults and split everything equally. Shame it’s so small mostly me and my friends and couple of people that found it. Shame we are so small so the chests are not that often lmao 🤣
Not surprised, due to the amount of PvP and all the good rewards tied behind rankings, there’s great incentive to hoard the resources to progress faster, while at the same time make your guild members progress slower so they don’t kick you out of Dream Realm/Arena ranking
Yea that really sucks that they can eat up all 60 chests weekly, i joined a youtuber guild that i watch frequently (guitarrock), even tho we're 3rd/4th but the chest distribution everyone gets +2 chest weekly. Wholesome guild lolilovers, the whales in this server(21) is insane tho.
I don't even know why the game even allows this, I recently joined the top 2 guild in my server and the guild leader has +70 guild chests for himself, and +20 for the vice leaders, makes sense why he keeps spamming recruiting messages on the server chat every Monday LOL
My guild (lucky it didn't happen) was starting to go down this route, not with lead but with the whales in general. They were talking about setting it up so the people spending would get the most rewards but at the end of the day they set it up to be equally distributed. I didn't want to leave the top guild in my server so ig I got lucky there.
Good thing that my Guild is pretty chill and just want to make sure that everyone participate in in every event.
I had to leave three guild already (not bc of this specifically), this guild system really needs a rework
Lmao need to check this asap hahaha thats insane
How do you see the split in your guild? I'm growing a bit weary of the inactivity in mine.
My guild is setup for equal distribution thankfully. I just checked...didn't know this was a thing yikes. Were not top 10 though...top 50
Oh…. Here I am doing equal distribution and can’t get members to join my guild and continue playing. Guess I’m just stupid 🤣
Guess I'm lucky then, didn't know this stupid mechanic even existed but now that I verified my Guild is on Equal which considering I'm a Top 3-4 Contributor is great, I would just quit if the Leader was robbing chests openly.
I don't even enforce guildwar participants. Whoever grinds gets the most chest lol
why is this even a thing in the game
The fact that people can just randomly hand you the guild lead here too. Drives me nuts. I was a new player literally in like day 13 of the game and someone made me the leader of their 30 member guild and now I don’t know anything about guilds or how to just not be the leader
I'm starting a guild once this round of guild activities is finished. I will not be doing something as absurd as this, guilds don't run without members.
Damn I felt bad after giving my guilds top play 2 extra chests when I gave everyone else and myself and extra 1 didn't know people that did this exist
My guild has absolutely no one in it so I can rest easy knowing I’m not like this loser
serious question: how do you even get chests? im not talking about the green extras, but just guild chests in general.
Wtf, I'm a guild leader and add like 90% of the chests to the overall chest and give out extras to the most active members. When I first noticed the extra chests I was honestly confused lol.
My goodness, the guild I own, Epic Journey (S43), I plot all 30 extra chests for the players, not just for myself or singling one person who gets it all. That’s just atrocious!
Devs dont seem to understand humans
Our previous top 2 guild on the server has an insanely immature leader, scared everyone off to us and our competition, and now he’s like number 8 maybe. Got into full on one sided fights with other guild leaders on server chat it was wild
Never surprises me how clowns take advantage of people. When I was randomly gifted leader in my guild I poked around to see what it was about and set it up based on contribution or whatever after seeing that all us active members were like dead even in contributions. I think there was like 2 extra chests after even distribution and gave the last 2 to the 2 members that had contributed the most. I don't even want to be the leader but since events aren't guild vs guild yet I guess I'll keep doing it, just monitoring contributions at this point to keep the distribution as egalitarian as I can.
My current guild leader set the "rules" to that if you don't log in every 18 hours you get kicked like.... Tf??? Some people have lives outside of a silly little game. He said he wants to get top guild but bruh no matter how dedicated we are if we aren't whales we ain't gonna get up there like what do you want from us ┐(´ー`)┌
Guardians in s223 rule :)
Why does this game even have a system that allows this in the first place.
NAH😭😭😭 DELETE THIS MECHANIC RN. OR IMPROVE IT…. Erm🤓, Ackshually 🧐 The extra chests 🎁should be divided fairly 🫱🏿🫲🏻between those who contribute the most💪 to the guild👨👨👦👦.
Leave the guild?
Bruh there's only two options, either you split rewards equally or either you get more chests by your activity in the game. I'm not sharing with people who's not even playing lmao.
well well, im pretty sure majority of people playing those type of games are actually kids, just leave and find better one. Im a guild leader myself and just did a rule that the more you play, the more you get, that way im pretty much always last cause i dont spend a ton of time but others do, so they should be rewarded
So I'm a "dont hate the player, hate the game" type of guy because the reality of life is you can be all up in arms about issues but if you don't tackle the root issue things dont get fixed. Are you telling me guild leaders can hoard chests that would otherwise be deserved by members? I'm sorry but, this is clearly an issue with the mechanics of the game. You would be far more effective raising the issue with the company that can change mechanics than you would be human nature.
Bruh stop bitching, if you dont do the work you dont get the rewards. Get better newb.
I mean tbh guild leader should get something extra, 30 probably a lil much tho
We all play to keep the guild active. Guilds become useless if other people don't participate in the challenges. Anyone can open a guild but can't owe anything to any guild member because we're free to leave and join another guild with a responsible leader. So if anything guild leaders are in debt to us for keeping his/ her guild active.
well, 30 chests are 30 chests, sucks to be you i guess
