In all seriousness though, here are my thoughts on being in a number 1 guild on a server.

I’m an enchanter in Divinity. Let’s say for the sake of argument that we are the number 3 guild on the server based purely on progression, mobs killed or what have you. Could I be the best enchanter on the server but decide to stick with Divinity (the number 3 guild) because they are an awesome bunch of people? I sure could!

It just so happens I’m not the best enchanter on the server, heck I’m not even in the top three.

On the flip side I could be one of the worst enchanters on the server but for whatever reason Divinity decides to keep me around because I make them laugh, or they think I’m slow in the head and they feel sorry for me…. or something. So being in a number 2 or 3 guild does not say anything about how good I am.

Now if I were to ditch my in game family to join IB for example, would that elevate my status as a player? Certainly not to my former guild mates or the community at large.
To them I would be known as “that punk ass bitch Chicanery who ditched his friends for easy loots”.

So in my humble opinion, the guild that you are in is far from being the be all end all of who you are as a player.
