This all doesn't matter, yes it is a silly move as I'm guessing Nemce only knows AG from Forums and not what goes on in guild. It is still a guild for casuals, we just have a higher population because that is what is needed.
Nemce was a proponent of CSG and if still around would still be grouping with the 2 Omni and 10 Europa still around while AG does heavy lifting. One could say this pettiness of taking <Azure Guard> back is not in the true nature of AG....
