It bothers me, and I made the thread.

It doesn't belong in the game. They have forums to recruit on, and friends. Right?

RIGHT!?

I don't really care one way or another to be honest. Now it could be that I haven't experienced the same thing as you. I've only seen brief guild recruitment, i.e. 'join MercX at www.mercx.com' and perhaps a sentence or two if someone comments. Now if someone was spamming 'joinmercx, joinmercx, joinmercx...' through the entire match this could be considered harassment and should be reported. Harassment is against the TOS of this game and should be dealt with because its harassment not because its recruitment. If this is your argument you might want to consider clarifying this in your opening post to help edify ignorant people such as myself. If you are simply arguing against anyone advertising for a guild ever then I guess I disagree with you then.

I have many, many screenshots of macro spam recruit texts. I have many, many, many, many more where they'll refuse to announce their presence in 8 manz, or when you're destroying them.

I don't think you people realize, but almost every single maatch I've played in this game, with few exceptions, I have screenshots or videos of.

You know what's gonna end up happening. PGI will side with me, because my view is where the money lies. They'll make a special clan recruit chatter channel, and I won't have to put up with it.

They'll sort the worst of the worst into a tier 2 purgatory, that they can't leave. The game will be good. I get to play mechs. I can already taste the tears, like when RnR got removed.

...snipped stupid pic...

And I would agree that would happen if I could see any monetary reason for it to occur. Promoting team play with a line or two of guild adverts per match seems to cooincide with game objectives...not run contrary too.

I can't think of a single guild based game, where recruitment spam does not occur. And I can't think of a single game in which it's been 'banned'

And you fail to realize that no one cares...and that unless it shows true 'spam' is completely irrelevant...as usual. If you have something that shows real 'spam' that is a harrasment issue...NOT a recruiting issue. You defeat yourself...

I don't see much recruitment since I solo PUG...but when I do it's most likely Sqwackers..and I do my best t see them go down in falems......even more so since apparently two of them thought they were on opposing teams but ended being on my side and they somehow wanted to kill each other first.........seriously hate those guys...

I wasn't doubting you, merely asking you to clarify your point. If people have been spamming chat (constant messages about guild recruitment) then I sincerely hope you do take it up with support and commend you for your diligence. That was not the impression I had when I first read your original post which is why I suggested you might want to clarify your point.

[CrashieJ]

If they want to spam their recruitment crap, let them. Besides, I want to know who's crap clan's *** I'm kicking at the start of the game so i can say at the end:

"Don't deal with those losers. You want to get better? Join the EQRG."

and guess what? IT WORKS.

The politest way I can put this is; Are you a daft tool that has no idea of the world around you and live such a sheltered life that you have to choose the most mundane of things to gripe over, showing people that you are just one giant whiny cry baby that needs a life outside of the internet.

the answer to this is yes. those who complain about ts3 or vent or mumble users is a resounding yes.

Om nom nom.

Your tears are delicious Vassago.

[JadePanther]

OMG like guilds dont advertise recruitment in MMORPGS???

OP is just nuts.


Now if there was some sort of chat lobby system like most every other MMO out there.. then they wouldnt have to do their recruiting during matches.

[WVAnonymous]

All chat is Worst. Marketing. Opportunity. Ever.

Scenario A ) pre-made smokes opposing team: "Wow I just had my a$$ handed to me. F\/ck those guys!"

Scenario B ) pug gaggle smokes pre-made: "Wow, those guys $uck. Who wants to drop with them?"

Yet I've never seen you in any 8 man. You must be the legendary ghost player.

No wait, you're just Vassago Rain, the forum clown.

I have something against terrible teams using Splatcats and Raven 3Ls and still managing to barely eke out a win against pugs, and then advertising as if you would be impressed by their l33t skills.
