Guildwatch: The Legal Edition

This week's Guildwatch comments on the widespread threats to sue seen in the game by begging anyone who actually sees legal repercussions during a game to let WOW Insider know immediately.  Since Blizzard allows many things in WOW that get you into big trouble in real life, I'd like to second that motion.  Blizzard will clean up the chat line in 30 seconds flat if a lawsuit threatens their profits.

Drama:  The co-GM of Xenocide emptied the guild bank, promoted a former officer, kicked a bunch of people out of Xenocide, then just disbanded the whole guild.  File this under "Four Ways to Destroy a Guild."  Didn't work, though.  The guild is reforming as Placeholder and is recruiting on the Kalecgos server.

Frostmourne has had accusations of raid ID theft flying recently but the two guilds accused of stealing say that it was a multiple guild raid.  Guildwatch points out that the flame war is so intense, an outsider has no way of figuring out what really happened.  Short of a lawsuit, probably.

In more legal news, two ninjas left their Alliance guild and headed to the Horde side for more thievery.  Unfortunately for them, their new guild understood exactly who they were and what was planned and decided to wait to /gkick them in the most spectacular fashion possible.  Our ninjas picked a fight with someone who immediately tossed them out on their ear when s/he was promoted to an officer, then the ninjas threatened to contact a "laywer" for "processing a subpoena."  (I'd take the ninjas more seriously if their threats were spelled correctly.)  The whole thing is available as an angry rant on Vent which you can listen to by finding the link in the URL above.

By the way, if you go /afk while raiding with Till Death on Auchindoun, you are going to be sorry.  The Not Safe For Work video link is below.

In non-legal news, there is a lot of recruiting and downing of instances going on, just not on the Solo MMO Player's realm.
