I was a "casual" raider for quite a while when I first started playing. I have a friend that was in the number 3 guild (pre-BC) on our server. I tried for a full year to get in that guild. When my gear and lvl were good enough, I applied and got in. A month later the GM decided his grad school and personal life took priority over WoW and decided to disband the guild. Alot of people were really pissed, but I understood that RL takes priority. My friend was an officer in the guild and let me in on the fact that the guild "bank" (before there was actual guild banks) had about 3000gold and ALOT of blues and purples. Needless to say, noone got anything from the "bank" and the guild tag disappeared.

At first that all sounds fine and pretty normal for the game, but ... me and my friend ended up getting into another guild that alot of the ppl form that guild went to. We were doing really good too. THEN, out of nowhere, the old GM from the previous guild comes back with a NEW toon, epic flyer, AH purples and is instantly put in this guild as an officer.

Me and my friend dropped that guild as did ALOT of ppl from the previous guild. GM's ninja shit too.
