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

azxten · #1 02-06-2016, 07:23 AM

Hello all,

I made the mistake of joining Forsaken with my wife. We accrued 500 DKP together over several months of raiding. We both made full membership. Not a single time, not even once was I able to bid on an item to use my DKP due to changes in the rules made after I joined.

Currently Forsaken is allowing people who haven't been around and are from old TMO days to become officers and interfere with guild politics. The private members forum is full of drama regarding loot council decisions, members being harassed, and so on. Anyone who is a Forsaken member knows this is true.

Do not join this guild. Its literally a scam of the highest order. I had stopped playing about a month ago when they really started changing policies. I came back and posted to the private full member forum asking various questions including, "Is Forsaken a bait and switch guild?" outlining my concerns. My point was to spur conversation and get serious questions answered that not only I but several other members in the guild were expressing since I had taken a break.

I was banned from the forum and removed from the guild. Nothing was said. I had to login and get members to mention it in guild chat before an officer would respond to me.

Thanks for listening!

Here is what I was told from officer Slydexx:

P.S. I hope moderators will allow this thread to exist here as I consider it important information regarding what amounts to one of the largest guilds on this server being basically a scam at worst and a dictatorship at best.

Relax kiddo. Maybe they just didn't like you. Ultimately... who cares? They didn't. Why should you? There is a good chance they are worthless. There is also a good chance that you pissed some one off. Get over it and move on with your elf sim life.

I don't care for myself, I've been pretty much done with EQ for a long time. I'm just going to make sure everyone knows this happened so they can take it into consideration when deciding which guild they want to join.

Lol, been waiting for this to come out. When you promise everyone the same riches, you're going to have a difficult time fulfilling that promise, unless you never intended to fulfill it at all.

over several months in guild with 500+ DKP and never allowed to spend it? that can't be right. there must be more to the story.

Nope, thats the story. Basically between splitting everything with Asgard and all the good stuff going to loot council there is little left except trash. I didn't even get to bid on any trash because my main is an INT caster where drops are less common. I'm sure I got unlucky in some sense but that is factual. Months of work, I had 40% attendance at my peak, and not once was I even eligible to put a bid in on an item.

The private member forum had tons of complaints about loot council. Detoxx made a thread saying, "Lets talk about it, get all your concerns out there" and tons of posts were made. No questions were answered. Then Detoxx said "Ok glad we got that resolved, the policy is final" and locked the thread.

Anyone in Forsaken can confirm this is true, but they won't cause they're scared. Everyone in Forsaken lives in fear of upsetting the no life core of the guild that will unfairly harass them.

I'm a man of integrity who isn't afraid to call assholes out even when I know I'll lose pixels and thats exactly what happened.
