Per this thread, apparently some folks think a person who shows up to almost a hundred guild events warrants nothing for his efforts. ~90 guild events in ~6 months is roughly one every other day. That's a lot.

When the Forsaken recruiters come calling to me, I politely tell them "no thanks" and go about my business. I've been in online gaming long enough to know the extreme expectations high-end guilds tend to place on their members, and know it's not for me. Perhaps the original poster is less familiar with online gaming? I don't know his history, but I hope he's wise enough to treat this as a learning experience.

I have a longstanding personal rule of never joining a guild which uses any form of currency-based loot, and immediately leave any guild which transitions to such. That rule has for years done a fine job of ensuring my hobby remains fun and free, rather than turning gaming into a really lousy second job with schedules, on-call requirements, and no pay.
