Guild stolen

Earlier today our guild leader was kicked from the guild by someone newly promoted to a #2 rank. Since Guild Wars doesn’t prevent the guild leader from being kicked by just anyone, he and a friend were booted and the culprit made off with the guild’s stash of gold. Said culprit is still the guild leader and demoted anyone who was of an appropriate rank to kick him or promote/demote anyone.

Basically, he stole the guild out from under everyone, and there’s no way for anyone to reclaim it. Heck, this is the closest forum I can find that would even cover something like this. I tried filing an in-game report on the culprit in question, but again, ‘scamming’ was the closest thing that fit.

Is there anything the GMs can do about this?

There really is no reason to contact Support on this. This is an internal guild issue. Whatever errors of judgment the guild leader made in promoting a bad person, or in demoting himself, or in setting lower-ranking members to have administrative privileges, this is not an issue with which Support can help.

These stories are often “He said/she said” situations. We regret when someone misbehaves, but sometimes, the stories we are told are wildly different and it’s simply impossible to tell what actually took place, who did what, who told who to do what, and when…

For that reason, I don’t suggest that you contact Support because they will not be able to restore the guild or replace a leader.
