Forsaken is a bait and switch guild, warning to all players

What you're missing is what I was told when I joined.

I didn't miss that. Their recruiters have told me the same thing. I assume someone knows the difference between a sales pitch versus reality. The top guilds always claim they don't mind casual players. The lower-end guilds typically claim they'll see the top eventually. Neither claim is ever particularly true. You've been here for some 6 years; you of all people should know that. Perhaps that's why you're so angry right now--maybe you genuinely believed Forsaken was different. I can imagine myself there and if that's the case then I'd feel betrayed, too. However, I don't fall into that mode of thought. I consider one high-end guild basically the same as the next. The names change; the modes of operation remain the same. Perhaps I'm more cynical than you, or perhaps I'm simply pragmatic....or maybe some of both.

Either way, there's not much you can do short of moving on. If you want, be angry at the system which produces the guild scene here, but neither of us can change it. Best you can do is try to find a guild that's compatible with how you play the game and enjoy the parts of P1999 that're worth enjoying.

On a related note, in over twenty years of online gaming I've never seen a large clan/squad/guild that isn't full of people who're angry about something or other. when things seemed quiet, at first, typically just meant I was out of the loop. Drama and cliques seem to come with the territory.
