Guild etiquette? Suppose you meet a player in a pug or random setting and like the way they work. Is it proper to inquire whether the like their current guild and they don't, invite them to switch allegiance?

This is how I joined just about every decent guild I was a part of prior to the end of WotLK. I jump in a PuG group, and if things went well and we all liked each other, I'd join up. Also got a lot of recruits this way once I'd accepted the guild leader mantle. We'd PuG the last spot(s) and make a friend or two, and they were welcome to join up with us anytime.

It started being harder to use those methods at the end of WotLK and in Cata. I don't see why you couldn't though.

I would think it is greatly dependent on the way one asks. Some guilds (at least on EQ and people are people everywhere so I would think this could exist in WoW as well) are known for being a bit heavy-handed in what is considered "stealing" guild members. There is an EQ guild on my server with which I'm slightly familiar that has a really bad reputation for this due to the GL's tactics.

Personally, I'd rather it be the reverse and how I switched EQ guilds back in the day after being in one for 4 years: I began grouping with a few people in another guild; really liked them, their play style, etc. I expressed interest in the guild and was invited on a mini-raid (not like today's idea of raiding) to meet more of the guild members and then I made the decision that I wanted to switch guild.

As another poster mentioned, I would rather a guild be a bit pickier for want of a better word than just throwing spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks.

So, Ovshanevo, did you decide to quit that guild?
