The updates will go a long way to fix this. First, it will tell WHO remove the members. Second, it will limit an officer to only 5 removals a day. This should prevent the mass purgings.

Also, the new Veteran rank will mean you can have recruiters who won't be able to delete.

As for the guilty party in this instance, check to see if any officers recently left. They may be your culprit. Also, has any officers been having issues recently with the GM or another officer.

Lastly, you may have to consider that this was a planned act of sabotage from a spy as well as the chance it was just a disgruntled member.

PLEASE disney, get the updates up - so we can stop this!

So basically a mini-officer? That'll be awesome for guilds who have a system where they have the whole "full officer, petty officer, member" thing

And SO sorry your guild was attacked, Pirate!

I had to deal with this too when my guild was about a month old. It may seem it, but it's not the en d of the world. For me, this was a learning experience, and it helped me become a better GM. From now on, whenever you and your GM promote someone, make sure you have complete trust in them. Luckily, the update will prevent things like this from happening again, so we don't need to worry as much. Anyway, the key for moving forward is DON'T GIVE UP. Make sure you, your GM especially, your officers and members don't give up either and make sure they are ready to rebuild. Remember, you're not starting from zero, you are starting from 200. When we were deleted, we were left with 20, and now we are almost maxed. So if we did it from 20, you can do it from 200.
What we did was go to Abassa and hold up thought bubbles saying we have been deleted by an officer and are looking for those removed who are interested in coming back. I suggest you try Abassa, or any other server your guild is usually on, like the server you usually do invasions on. Going to Abassa worked for us and we found a lot of people that got deleted. Hope it works for you!

Best of luck!

William

Disney won't help

My guild was attacked a month ago by a trusted officer. He deleted every member, some 150 people. All I had left were the officers. I knew who had done this and reported him to Disney. My other officers reported him also. I requested Disney keep me informed as to the punishment of this person. Disney responded with the Privacy issues and say that they could tell me anything. To this date, that person is still playing the game and in another guild. Lucky I know the gm of that guild and I have warned him of this person's behavior.

It is very sad that people must resort to crashing/deleting guilds. Crashers will do this more until the update comes. And a lot of people have noticed a slight rise of crashing since they announced the new update. -sigh-. It is about time this problem gets fixed. The sooner the update for guilds, the better.

Aye, very true. I have decided to not make new officers until the update. Crashers will act now if they are going to act. I don't want this to have to happen to me and my guild again, and I'm not taking any chances. Hopefully this update will bring more peace for guilds, and will limit the "spying" and drama caused from this type of problem. Please Disney, get this update live ASAP.

I have been thinking about this issue for quite some time, and I have come to the conclusion that this issue might never be solved. These "attackers" will find ways of destroying guilds, even with the new rank system. Or at least they fill continue to try.

I hope that I am wrong.

I can easily think of a few ways to destroy a guild without ejecting any members. I shall not share them though, or ever perform them. Making other players upset is just wrong, and I dont even see the point.

As Skirata said, it may never be solved.

Aye, there are many ways to destroy a guild that does not include deleting members. Some of these include ways that attackers do not need to be in their targeted guild. This happened to me a few times. Also, these people can cause mayhem and drama in a guild that can start to make members leave. These people will always be about. However, as we encounter more experiences with them, we will learn how to deal with them better, too.

solution

i am in a guild that got attacked but because of the things the gm did when the guild was originally made everything was fine

this is what you do
1 make a guild website with a list of all your guild members when they joined what rank they are and when they got promoted
2 keep updating the list
3 if you are attacked make everyone in your guild an member and announce on the website why this has happened and when it started and on the list put red dots next to the name of anyone missing
4 try and find the culprit and delete him if you cant delete everyone who was promoted to an officer just before the trouble started
then you have got rid of the culprit repromote theorigional officers and search for the people on your list labeled missing
if you do this your guild can be saved from all future attacks

I'm wish people would stop doing that and read my thread i wrote shourtly after reading this "to save a guild" it may help bring people back but it was written to save guilds that haven't been attacked yet it could work though.

GASP! - Jots down "NEVER MAKE ANYONE OFFICER AGAIN!" -

I'm sorry this happened to ya. It has happened in the Galleon Crashers, resulting in my resignation as GM from them. If ya can, remember who was on at the time. Maybe ye can get to the bottom of it.

Best Wishes,

Dan

Even when the new updates are in place I can still see this being a problem. There will always be troublemakers and problem people in game. Its not just a matter of who you promote but care must be taken as to who you choose to guild as well. with the addition of the new veteran rank promoting the wrong person to veteran status can quickly load a guild down with troublemakers and griefers. Best to build a guild slowly and take care in choosing the people you recruit. Only promote loyal responsible people into the veteran and officer ranks.
