Red Flags to Avoid
❌ Toxic Leadership
Drama, favoritism, or abusive behavior from guild leaders. Leave immediately.
❌ Inactive Guild
If most members haven't logged in for weeks, find a more active community.
❌ Unreasonable Requirements
Excessive donation demands, mandatory daily attendance, or exploitative rules.
❌ No Organization
Guilds without structure, communication, or leadership become chaotic quickly.
