Seems to be some kind of hivemind guild. I play a character that’s a bit crass, was almost arrested for it (which is fine, I wouldn’t mind, happy to take consequences).
But jesus christ, its like the entire guild took offense to it. Seems like they’re coordinating OOC who they like and who they don’t like.
Much prefer the other guard guilds, at least they seem to both know the basics courtesies of roleplay, as well as grammar.
Can’t keep IC IC, basically. Weird guild.
‘Hmm’ in ten characters.
Anyway, trashposting aside, I don’t think airing your personal beef with the guild on the forums will bring about a good outcome for anyone. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience though. Might be best trying to reach out to the guild’s members and trying to iron out your differences or, if it comes to it, choose not to interact in future. Better to try and come to some understanding than call them out with a forum post because some RP didn’t go as well as it could have.
This seems to describe pretty much every single guild that RPs stormwind guardsmen. I’ve learned to just not get involved with SW guard RPers at all, as only Ford’s lot manages to be an exception.
Ah yes, the IC corruption. :’)
Sounds better than the Oblivion Bar guild where the leader just kicks people for “not liking them” OOC.
Or remember Spectral Watch 30+ members blacklist where the leader didn’t keep to it but threatens her members to “kick them if they don’t keep to it”?
I certainly do. 
Can’t say I like interacting with guard guilds because I’m afraid they go a bit overboard on the IC power they can hold. Same for noble guilds.
Flashback to the legendary toxic noble guilds back in the day
Or the ultimate final form of noble house, court, city guild, all rolled into one perfect storm! I shall never forget a certain guild, thankfully long disbanded, and my interaction with them;
“Hold there citizen. Warlocking license at once!”
“Wait what? How do you know i’m…who are y…”
“Quiet! Our records show you do not have one, you have entered the city ilegally. We know this because only our Lord High Bishop Judge name redacted issues them and you do not have one.”
“Now hold on a minute i don’t believe…”
“Your objection is noted and shall be presented in front of the Lord High Bishop Judge in three days during your trial, you are under arrest and shall remain in our cells until the commencement of said trial”.
“Bwaaaa?!”
That sounds… Strange, to say the least.
You can’t tell me what to do. It’s not just a phase!
I have had positive interactions with the guild on this character, including being arrested for possibly stabbing a Worgen in the shoulder, but I can understand some of the qualms people will have about Guard RP in general.
The best sort of Guard RP realises it’s a two-way thing for both players, your actions as a character should have consequences while the Guard must understand that the player on the other side may not want their character to remain locked in a cell forever. There needs to be chances for escape etc., agency for both players to enjoy their RP. The likes of the Hand of Conquest Hordeside get it right.
The worst sort of Guard RP is the ‘easily and epically places handcuffs on your back and drags you to the cells from which nobody can escape’ and ‘I know exactly what you are, criminal scum’ with zero IC knowledge. You have to give players a chance to actually roleplay their characters, which draws me back to my first point: I had a positive experience with these guys, and they let me go free in the end but I still faced consequences with other Death Knights.
So yeah. Don’t know what the point of my post is but don’t listen to the big OP.
I don’t regularly post in forums, quite the contrary, I never have. However, I’d love to break this down for you, despite not being part of the guild:
Yet, to finish all this off. I think that sometimes, surely, things could always be handled better. However, flaming a guild, which you, yourself, have initiated roleplay with now, I believe, on several occasions, just seems strange.
The City Region Watch are some who I’d like to call friends, and naturally, I’ll be biased, I can’t help that. But my interactions with them, have been great. I can’t stop you from disliking them, nor will I try to. However, I thought I’d give my piece on it.
Have a great day! <3
That sounds surreal. Personally I ignore everyone who comes up to my warlock chars with that whole license thing.
Although I like the implication of guards or bishops or so holding any power because in Warcraft every person you meet might have the ability to absolutely mass murder everyone around them. Essentially it’s like Arizona (freely wear your gun on you visible) when I have to think of a real life equivalent.
Every person around the corner might hurt or even kill you. Being a guard in this universe must be the worst and most fear introducing job ever. Each individual might have great powers to absolutely murder you. Simpletons usually don’t have to deal with greater powers. Now imagine some 5000 year old void elf arch mage stirrs up some trouble because of the whispers, have fun and good luck dealing with that. Or even surviving that.
So in short: walking up to a warlock and trying anything might be a bad idea if said warlock can blast you with fel and escape like nothing ever happened through a portal.
It’s great that some people like to rp guards but… just… with all the huge power levels (what exactly would a guard do against a demon hunter…?) I can’t see it being fun.
This. Never think less of someone for not being able to type an amazing and poetic sentence with every interaction; there are countless reasons, and if you can be understanding and tolerant it makes a difference!
Of course not! I wholeheartedly agree, as long as people try their best and make the RP enjoyable, I’m in no way able to complain, poetry or not! I’ve had some amazing and outright brilliant interactions with people who are both dyslexic and not a native English speaker.
Of course, if it came across as me judging people for that, I can say that that wasn’t my intention at all 
- Moreso that I can’t speak for those that suffer from such!
Apparently you can’t talk about them IC when they appear because you’re not allowed to get involved unless they say so.
Ahem, on topic? Not everybody gets along in the end. Best to just move on.
This is my general experience, yeah.
[shoves u in a cell that’s super duper über magic warded and then doesn’t interact with you for the rest of your three day sentence.]
true they’re dangerously powerful 
You what?..
They were such a decent guild a few years back in Legion. What the hell happened to them and their leader man?
Why do you exactly feel the need to post a thread like this? Despite your drama and own experience with the guild, the forums are not a place to harass and slander people no matter your experience.
Instead, you should take your problem directly to them. Do you think an outside view would really help in this case? Everyone makes a bad experience at some point with a person/guild/etc.
If they behave extremely inappropiate, you should report it ingame to Blizzard.
I feel like this thread’s intent falls under harassment which is against the WoW forums’ code of conduct.
I dunno. I was in the guild for a while but recently got into a convo and that was the result in the end. Kinda sad cause they were fun.
I agree with that. They were one of the old Illidari guilds that were decent and had a good reputation as far as I could tell.
In the past years their leader just went insane apparently.
Hah, that’s a good one. I mean i agree, but, well…AD forums.
