I believe it is stated that guilds were to recruit your friends (up to 25) and take towers with them. Not make a guild were you recruit anyone around the tower to fill up guild space and kick any inactive members for more room so you can constantly have 25 online players, half of whom you don't know, allies are for allies. An ally is a seperate person or group of people that shares your common goal and supports eachother, it's not called "system to bypass the 25 per guild rule by making one guild have the members of 4 guilds".
Here Is a perfect example, people used the showadmins command to check if alot of gps were on do they knew when it would be safe to glitch. So they removed it.
It was part of the game, and it was used, but not in the intended way.
Thats my point. Instead of condoning it and also doing it because of it being the only way to be able to compete, they should punish it and change it
