Guild Jumping
Last night while I was typing up my post Tobold had posted about guild hopping. I am really glad he did I missed this topic last time around.

Ok so here is the way I see it. It all depends on they way you look at your guild. Is your guild a tool or a group of friends? If it is a tool then you bet you are going to see lots of guild jumping. People are always going to want the right tool for the job. That is not to say that it is all on the players there are guilds that look at there members as tools also. If you are a high end raiding guild you most likely are not going to take people that are at the low end of the scale. You are going to want people that help your guild advance to the next level.
I on the other hand look at my guild as more of a group of friends. I have been playing MMO’s for about 5 years now. I know it has been around 5 years because I started in the SWG beta. Now in that time besides when me and 5 buddies decided to make are own guild I have been in 3 guilds. Three that’s it three. I have never changed guilds in a game. Each guild was always a group of friends. It was about more than just raiding. It was about people helping people out. There where always guild groups going on. I have never really had to really on my lfg tag to find a group. Now I have had to use the social window to pick up people to fill out a group. That was more as a recruiting tool than anything else.
I just have this to add if you are in a guild with a lot of people that come and go ask your self is your guild just a tool and are you just a tool for your guild.
My guild is a guild of friends I started on the Guk server with Revelry and Honor and will die on the Guk server with RnH.
