Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart

The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart

Philosophers and ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
You can be the captain
I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart

Whenever you have gained enough trust, played and been highly active, and shows you know what you are doing...then you are granted these pieces to further help the guild.


But, regardless, you still decide that its just worth it to say fuck you to the guys you've played with for a month straight, give your account away to a friend, and even after being called out for being a dick, refuse to log on your account to give the bonerazer away (or tell your friend to)....and using the guild as a way to fund your friends character.

It is a dick move, and even though I respected you and enjoyed playing with you while you were in the guild, it has definately gone to shit now.

I've always looked at EQ disputes of this nature fairly pragmatically.

It's always on the guild, not the player. It sounds like a jackass theory - and it certainly doesn't absolve an individual player of blame - but really it's not much different than any company one might work for irl. People quit, for whatever reasons they might have, often having used resources that could have been used better on another employee, if only the company had known ahead of time.

Should a droppable item be handed back to a guild if someone peaces out? Sure - in utopia. I just think the smartest guilds are the ones who look at any droppable item, from the guild bank to fresh off a mob, as potentially gone as soon as it is awarded. It is, as another poster mentioned, a sweet bonus when someone is "fair" and hands an item back before quitting or selling their toon.

The good thing is, for the most part, the two upcoming expansions will solve this by making most raid loot nodrop. This way, when people sell their toons, at least we can all say handing the items back was in most cases impossible.
