I also want to point out that I've had positive and negative interactions with Seal Team. Though more positive than negative.
There have been some quite helpful members of Seal Team whom were open to assisting me in Green. I've even had some Seal Team members randomly just buff me out of nowhere when I was at a camp and such. Does this sound to you like a guild full of jerks? I think not. Like I've said, at least for me my interactions with Seal Team have been more positive then negative.
As an example, one time in Unrest a Bard from Seal Team was kiting around leveling, but knew our group was there near the wall, so he stayed in the other side of the house when kiting. He even dropped off a few beetles now and then at our camp for us to grab. He was a really cool dude. I want to point out that I'm at a lower level and these negative interactions seem to occur at higher levels. So that may be a factor, but again this is my opinion. Most of the members I've come in contact with have been extremely kind. I think if the guild officers step up this would be more likely the case. How they want their guild reputation to be on the server is completely up to them. It's obvious that they are not seen in a good light right now and if they want to fix their reputation they need to step up.
In terms of the negative times, I would rather not get into into full details. Other than saying there are SOME truly huge ass wipes and jerks in the guild. Including a time they were camping a spot only to sell it. I mean seriously?
There will always be bad apples in a bunch and sadly it's those bad apples that cause all the problems. These issues usually start from the top of the ladder. Whether the officers in the guild choose to act on those bad apples is up to them and it will only reflect their reputation. I'm sadden to say that it's a lack of action at times and all this DRAMA associated with Seal Team have caused some good friends of mine to /move to Teal server. Which seems to be what folks are doing lately. The grass is greener .... so forth and so on.
But that's all I will say on that subject.
