Hmmm....private message me if you have over 10,000 season one points and are interested in joining an alliance already at 102. We were higher, but we likewise had another member who left (or was sandboxed) after the lazy daken pve.

That person contributed to your alliance by doing whatever they were doing for previous events, they have zero responsibility to stick around for your benefit if they really feel they need to leave the game. It's kind of disturbing to see this fun little robust game turn into an obligation to complete strangers. And I mean, this is going to happen more often than not. I'm almost shocked that you're shocked about it. People keep trying to reassert the priorities in this game based on changes D3 has made. The blame is not solely on them. Gamers are supposed to be independent thinkers! We're the ones who will save the day when the zombie apocalypse comes! If some alliance members work together all on the same wavelength then that's great. But quit trying to tell yourself and others that we need to have certain priorities other than having fun on a nifty little game. I'm starting to see more pressure here then there were in my raid groups on WOW, geez.

I'd never say someone is obligated to stay and play, but it doesn't cost you anything to stay guilded and let the team kick you after the season or when they find a replacement. It's definitely a tinykitty move.

But instead of just taking the last event off and letting the chips fall, he just rage quit and gave one big tinykitty finger by leaving. It just seems wrong to make your alliance scramble for points by finding a new member in the last 48hrs of a month long event. But Whatevs. It's only Nick Fury.
