It's hard to keep people motivated because there's no incentive provided to stay motivated in Nihilum. It's a guild built around loot first. There's a reason there's so many veterans on the sidelines. Once you get geared up there's zero incentive provided to continue to play. You can "main change" but we see how that's fared so far for Thrilla and Raze. If, instead, the guild rewarded those who do the most such as Thrilla & Raze and others, it wouldn't need to recruit 500 people to keep replacing it's depleted ranks because you would be keeping your core engaged and interested and logging in. Obviously, a guild always needs to recruit to some extent to replenish those who quit, and to add skilled players, no one is going to dispute that, but at the same time if it were to cater more to the core players and allow them to be more involved, not charge someone like Arzak 20k for a trak BP, etc., it would see overall less burn out. That isn't meant to be some sort of scathing attack or calling Nihilum a shit guild, to be quite honest it's fine, it's just my opinion if it were to focus a little bit more on those who built it, it wouldn't need to always be looking to bring in so many new faces.
