[Bug] Two guilds in one chat

I was having a conversation within guild chat with one guild (me and 5 or 6 guild mates). The guild is a kinda of support community so I was sharing personal details. The next morning I get a message from an acquaintance in a different guild saying something like my behaviour was unacceptable and made some of the guild’s members extremely uncomfortable.

Turns out my posts in guild chat were appearing by themselves in another guild I was not repping. It appeared in another guild as though I was having a one sided conversation about mental health among other things. I was obviously not repping the guild at the time and somehow my posts were being read by their members.

I find this bug extremely disturbing, invasive, and unfair to players on the other side who have to deal with spam and discomfort.

I’m very sorry that you experienced this issue. We’re currently investigating a similar bug involving whispers being sent to the wrong recipient, but haven’t been able to identify the root issue, yet.

Do you have any idea what may have triggered this issue? I.e. were you repping your other guild right beforehand or interacting with your other guild in any other way? We’d appreciate any details you can provide so that we can close this issue. Thank you!
