      IRC Nickname: No1sEqual Group: Clan Friend Posts: 23 Member No.: 2288 Joined: June 7, 2010 Total Events Attended: 3    | I shall be moving on from WG. Not to say this in any bad way whatsoever , but WG is not what I was looking for in a clan . I want a pure pking clan/team and thats what i'm going to look for , because thats where my experience lies - pking. I also feel un-involved with the clan and not noticed or respected. About the only 2 people who have ever took time out to chat to me are Lordy and George , both of which have been very brief chats . I know 99% of you wont actually care that 'RiGiiD' is leaving , as you wont probably even know who I am , but I DO wish WG the best in the Jagex cup and any forthcoming events they step into and hope every bit of sucess. Thank you for the time in WG , only a few months I know. But I enjoyed the Wars and Raids and the overall experience. Sorry for the short stay. Nothing personal to any WG members. Regards , Your tattooed friend Ben/RiGiiD. --------------------  | ||

1. I'm sorry no topics on here take my intrest enough for me to post. 2. I'm sorry my mentor never bothered to message me , help me along in "graduating". Infact , i've never even been informed who this "mentor" is. 3. Sorry for being Lucky. I simply attended a war to help my clan , win a t-shirt luckily for doing so , then get flamed for it ? 4. Sorry for wanting to stay and become more actively pking with WG , so applied for raid leader. 5. This clan is meant to be one of the friendlest blah blah blah. I post a nice topic simply stating I wont be in WG anymore , and I get somebody flaming me and being sarcastic. Mhm. -------------------- | ||

 IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129 | Hold on you didn't even try to contact the leaders with your concerns. New guys get overlooked sometimes and it happens to the best clans. We are one of the friendliest clans, and you can't blame Keanu for saying that, since we feel as let down as you. There was no hint of you wanting to leave or else we would have done something about it. What I'm asking for is the chance to PROVE to you that you got an unlucky start, and this clan is nothing like that you described. In our defense, you have been a little alien to us. I tried for a week to get you to look at that T-Shirt topic. You seem to show up in short spurts and then fade away. We really do want to get to know you Ben, and we haven't had that chance. I appreciate your honesty about this though. Clearly your mentor (George) didn't inform you of the many PKing events we have every week... or else you've never been in the IRC when we announce them. What I'm saying is, the reasons for which you are quitting are easily fixed because WG is not how you described us. --------------------  | ||

I think you can fit in well with the right help. We have lots of trips - it's possible you just didn't notice them. Many are impromptu on teamspeak with allies, or the regulars. Maybe you just needed to pm's to notify you. If after that, you still feel the need to move on. Then I wish you the best of luck. But hey, maybe just give us one more try?

Flaming? Dude it's all true, but we really had no idea about the problems you had, and we got the impression you didn't care about WG. We have 31 forums available to Trials and you said no topics took your interest - I found that unrealistic. But we are the strongest community, and if you've got a problem or an issue, you can talk to any of us on IRC or pm an official or make a topic or just about anything, and we're always here to help. Hell, take note of the pinned topic I wrote for this forum. As for PKing, we're still one of, if not THE strongest clan in shallow P2P wilderness these days. I for one am fully willing to help and support you if you want a second chance. Not to mention that to have His Lordship -recognised by Jagex for his community contributions- as your mentor is beyond an honour. -------------------- [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||

 IRC Nickname: Dallar Group: Event Leader Posts: 1899 Member No.: 1957 Joined: July 16, 2009 Total Events Attended: 137 | The key to social acceptance in a clan is consistency. When I came here for the first time I also felt like I had nobody else than a couple few. But as you grow with the clans humor, routines and behaviour you'll slowly discover that more and more will talk to you, joke with you etc. Leaving because it's a bit hard in the beginning is just not acceptable because you didn't give us a chance. You can't expect us to jump around for you in the beginning. --------------------  Click me if you need cheering up - I guarantee happiness will blossom | ||

 IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | Ben, I'm sorry you didn't find what you wanted in WG. Being a newly appointed mentor, I'd ask you to reconsider your departure. I'd be more than happy to help you gather together the things you need to graduate and then help you find a place here in the clan. Although, given some of the unwarranted posts from some of our members, Staff included I doubt you'll take me up on my offer. It's a shame to see some sarcastic remarks and unfriendly posts being made in response to a very friendly goodbye post, simply stating this isn't what you were looking for. Again, I ask you to stay and if you change your mind, simply send me a forum PM and I'd be more than happy to help you get everything sorted out. --------------------   | ||

 IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | I saw some of your posts and thought you would be a promising member. I can understand your concerns about the lack of PvP right now, but that is something that is in the works. I personally do care that you were leaving. Your reasons are legitimate and if those had happened to me in my first month or so within the clan, I would be on the verge of leaving too. I ask that you give us another chance. The month after the "turning tides" war has not been what WG is usually like. The build up to the "turning tides" is what WG usually is like, and you have to admit, that was fun, wasn't it? --------------------      | ||

 IRC Nickname: Tnuac Group: Emeritus Posts: 1806 Member No.: 51 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 58 | Hey ben, i know i'm joining a long line of people saying this, but try and give it another chance. Its a shame you felt you weren't part of it. There must have been a mistake with the mentour thing, esp as george has been working a lot on drama sets and the like straight after the exams. Starting out is always hard and it seems like no one's paying attention. I remember thinking the same in EH when i intro'd and considered joining a long time ago, people just tend to ignore the new guy. Its a similar sort of thing when you come out of retirement. I'm sorta lucky that there's still people around i know. If i'd left it longer, i think as emeritus i'd barely recognise any regular member and almost have to start out again. Anyway, enough long-talk. It'd be great if you could stay with us and try it out a bit longer. But its your choice, we're not a 100% PKing clan, we try to balance everything. Let us know what ya think mate (y) -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow"  | ||

 IRC Nickname: Vephy Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 6186 Member No.: 813 Joined: June 10, 2008 Total Events Attended: 478 | Shame you are leaving. Staff could have helped you with anything a mentor usually does. Its in the pm you get when you join. I'm sorry George wasn't a good mentor, I could have assigned you someone else if you had wanted. I hope you ignore the few flames and insults from members here. The vast majority of us would help you into the community, even though its now on your leaving post you put up the problems you have been dealing with. Well with either decision you make I wish you the best of look. You were a promising member and its a shame it didn't work out differently. --------------------   | ||

 IRC Nickname: Gorgemaster Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9840 Member No.: 3 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 540 | Huh? I'm Ben's Mentor? I was told that I wasn't going to be given mentees at the moment, which I agreed with, since I am way too busy. I was never informed of this.... sorry Ben  Sad to see you go bro... it's a shame, you're a really cool guy. Plus - i did let you know when we were out at ANY event/raid/war, not as a mentor, but as I would expect any clan member to. No offence, but most of the time you completely ignored me or stated that you were pk'ing with friends... do you really want to be in a clan? Just asking. See you bro, take care mate. ~George --------------------    | ||

He applied for Raid Leader. Shame you have to publicly humiliate him like that, there has been plently of members who choose not to go to events, and you cant tell me honestly that you have never chose not to go to an event. As I said before, please reconsider Rig, hopefully you can become one of the great members. -------------------- This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||
