We just had something like this happen. 25 man "progression minded" raiding guild. Had a chick come in on her mage a couple months ago. She's always in the raid, is taking loot, and we've actually been going back and running Firelands for her to get her Legendary since she came in with some parts already and was next up to get one.
Yesterday she left. Didn't say anything. Left and went back to her old guild.
I hate, HATE, people like that.
I'm kinda used to people in this game being rather flighty at this point, so guild members coming and going doesn't surprise me -- but
this
is pretty grade-A prime d-baggery.
It's like saying "HAY GUYZ THX FOR ALL TEH HELP ON MAH UBER STAFF"
*raise middle finger*
"now I'm off to give all the spoils to my
real
friends".
"Blacklisting" wouldn't even begin to describe what I'd try to do to this individual. "American-politics-style smear campaign" might get close.

I hate when they join the guild, they say "Hello Guys" and then the person that joined whispers me asking if he can be a officer of the guild to help people out, and then 1 or 2 hours later after i promoted him, he leaves... and leaves like 3 or 4 players that he invited to the guild.

One thing i've noticed is if you're level 85 & guildless, you'll get loads of random guild invites ranging from level 1 empty guilds to level 25 packed guilds.But how common is it to be below level 85, already be
in
a level-25 packed guild, and have someone from a level-1 empty guild send you the following tell:
"Hey, want a better guild?"
No, really. To ice the cake, he'd made the guild the previous day. And it had one of those overblown names, to boot.

I had someone whisper me yesterday, asking if I liked my guild; I told him yes. He then tried to get me to join his guild anyways, even when I told him my girlfriend was in it(she is)((and his response to that was; does she want to join my guild too?)), her sister is the guild leader, and even her mom is in the guild, at which point he just sorta gave up.

I would say it depends on some factor, the first factor is how long you are in the guild. If you leave after a day or week without telling and got no real relationship with the guild, then I would not say it was really rude. If you however been for months in the guild and got some rep with the other and established a place. Then I would say it is down right rude and odd behaviour on your part.
Another factor can be if you got some bad blood with the guild, I could actually get why leaving without saying something can be right thing to do. It would actually be more coutesy to do this, if you are a cause of the trouble, so you leave quietly instead of dragging out a scene and get removed by force.
The best policy is usually to be honest what you want, so you avoid situation there you may be considered a rude person. It does has it limits with being honest, but being general honest while taking in account the feeling of said person/group are the best way to go.

Yeah, pretty much.
Random leaving, fine... But this is just horrible. I'd announce in trade chat (just under the amount necessary for a ban; have to be careful about harassment) and make it so any prevalent Guilds wouldn't want her (in case she leaves that new Guild).

On Lineage II if you leave a guild you can't join another guild for 7 days (and the one you left can't recruit another player for 24 hours)
That would have been a real pain when me and a group of friends left a social guild to form our own raiding guild today :o
Edit: also, of course there are social (read: free perks here!) guilds that constantly invite people with no guild and that you can leave just as fast because it's not a real community, just a group of people benefitting from each other. (Of course long-term members in guilds like these often know each other but I mean the people who are invited for just for the sake of being in a guild)

this is why wow should have the same policy regarding guilds as Lineage II
On Lineage II if you leave a guild you can't join another guild for 7 days (and the one you left can't recruit another player for 24 hours)
On the other hand if u're kicked from a guild, then the player can't join a guild for 24 hours, and the guild can't recruit another player for 24 hours.
There has to be some sort of penalty to prevent guild-hopping. Today there is a sorta penalty in that you lose all rep adquired with a guild if you leave (rep that is slow to gain back) but considering the guild rewards aren't as game-breaking as we tought when cata was in development, then ye, most people don't care about that (they're pets, tabards, mounts, and heirlooms, hardly VITAL items)
Thats seems a little silly. So people change guilds, why does it matter?

Why do people usually leave guilds without saying anything? I think it's very rude and selfish. Is it that hard to say "Sorry guys, I'm leaving the guild because..."?
Do YOU give notice before leaving a guild? Share your stories. Here's mine:
Randomguy joins the guild.
Me: "Welcome! :D"
GL: "Welcome mate!"
Randomguy left the guild.
True story. He probably saw that there were only 7-8 members online and thought the guild sucked.
Or he could have saw a name he has had a bad experience with, or did he accept the random guild invite that popped in front of his screen and didn't realize what it was.

Had a similar situation happen during WOTLK progression. The guild I was in was a 10 man raiding guild. We had lost one of our DPS to real life issues and recruited a new one. This guy had run some weekend pugs of ICC 25 man and several of us had gone along on them and eventually he asked about joining our guild. We took him on as we progressed through ICC 10 man and the day after we got our Kingslayer title he transferred his toon back to the server he had come from without saying a word to us. We were livid, he used us for a title, he didn't even get any loot off our LK kill.
Two weeks later he sent me a tell saying he transferred his warrior to our server and could he have a guild invite.....
That was the first and last time any of us had heard from him since he left.
Personally I have always said something, never in guild chat where it can cause drama but I either send a tell or mail to an officer or the GL.

There were times I left some of the guilds without saying anything that's just because of being pissed off. Personally, if I don't feel they are not even worthy to say a letter then I wouldn't bother to give a reason that I'm leaving.

Generally, when leaving, I will tell someone -- an officer or the GL -- why. And, as far as drama goes... well, that drama already exists if you are leaving. If you're no longer going to associate with those individuals then it can't hurt to tell them what they might do to improve things so they don't lose others.
I think it really comes down to what you feel you "owe" that guild. If a guild is completely falling apart anyway, then you probably don't feel like you owe them much. However, even if someone isn't on at the time, I will usually still toss a mail to them and let them know.
If there is a major reason to leave, though? Maltreatment of my wife, in one instance? By the Guild Leader, no less? At that leaving, I made it public, and I made it clear why I was leaving. Many people left after I did, and the guild has degenerated into just a few members now. Not strictly because I left, although I was an officer and the raid leader of the guild, but because those leaving had very similar reasons for leaving, and had friends (including myself) which they chose to follow elsewhere.

I was guild officer during WoLK and recruiting people for good guild HC progression. What we need is only 10 people who could attend raids for progression. Got few newbie players who could attend raids regularly so trained them properly for hardcore raids(you know it was really hardwork- tell them how to play, how to use cooldowns, how to stop clicking, how to macro stuff basically I need to know about each class we use in raids). Before we few guys become officers guild wasnt that serious about progression raiding. Well we were not best players but we knew what is our weakness, strength and teamwork. At that time we had chance to be server first HC LK and people were thinking what the hell happened to this old guild(sudden progression)? But sadly few people and GM said we do not want to wipe on HC LK during whole raid time. I tried to sorted out and explained them we had chance to get server first LK and most of us wanna do it but GM was with them.
Sigh...you know 4 people left in raiding team who willing wanted to do raid. Many left without saying single word or goodbye and still we miss each other and that raid team. Some of them are now in top raiding guild.

Yeah, I def really get frusterated about it, but its understandable,
Sometimes My guild isn't what they expected, even if I try to explain its a casual guild, Not a Raiding Guild, Not a PvP Guild, its a family-oriented, casual Guild.
But it is what it is.
As for my Guild, we really don't look to invite lvl 85, we will let them join if requested but usually if they are 85 and guildless, we assume its a reason they don't have one (being either solo,
Anyways, its always a bummer. Cuz I am trying to get my Guild to grow.
