To guild or not to guild.....

[Blkhwk]

I'll start by saying I started the game about a month ago. In the first few days I ran into a pirate that was more than helpful in getting me on my way. At the end of the day he asked if i wanted to join up with the guild he was in. I figured he was really helpful so what the heck and joined. The next day I log in and I have no guild name under mine and all of the guild info is gone. I find out that the Master has left.

One of the previous members asks me if I want to be in the new guild she will be starting. So yet again, I join and am made an officer. This new group is very unresponsive to any and all members. Usually when I log in and see guildmates I drop a quick note to say hi. No responses.

I had a noob ask me for some help which I provided we spent about three hours going over different tasks and I was giving her pointers on things I had learned or picked up from others. She was a good player and seemed to be a nice person so I askher to join the guild. I finally get a response from the other members of the guild asking me why I am bringing in a lower level player. It was not whispered to me but rather sent out so all guildmembers could see including the new member.
At this point I am about done with guilds or at least this one.

Is this something to expect from guilds? I see forum listings from others that seem pretty fun but.....
