Multi-game Guilds/Leagues/FCs
Why would I commit to a group that can't commit themselves and will die when NEW SHINY MMO comes out? No, I don't care that you're the exception. I've seen it happen far too much from people who said they were the exception.
FCs that immediately recruit newcomers/Spam invites to FCless people
Just means you want big numbers, not people. Insert Patrick McGoohan quote here.
FCs that require an out-of-game commitment to join/maintain spot in FC
I have no problems doing things for the FC in game. I have no problem going through a recruitment process in-game. The moment you ask me to fill out an application on your website is the moment I know you're not really interested in having me there. There is absolutely nothing on that form you could not ask me in-game where I would be far more available to answer said questions. And as someone put earlier in the thread - I don't need yet another website to join for nebulous reasons.
RP-friendly
Stop kidding yourselves.
FC Officers instigating drama
Sadly, happens entirely too often for me to not mention it. Drama happens, I can usually sit back and mock it. However, if an officer instigates the drama and has absolutely no repercussions for it? Massive red flag.
