Whim would result in just letting yr friends into the guild regardless of what a-holes they may be and you wind up with a "legit" guild filled with bungholes. I am sure you can name several guilds that fit this description.
We are different from this. We are much more than a forum guild or a anti-hacking guild. This is why we get recognition from people. We are a symbol for something better, whether we actually attain it or not. Thats why we are so strict about some things, whether it causes some displeasure or not. We are in fact a civilized guild, so lets see more civil posts and cease the bickering please.
