I play on two worlds, N and W. I also play on beta. On W I created my own small guild with the main goal of teaching new players the game, I created this guild prior to being given leadership of my much more established, larger guild on my main world N.
Recently on Walstrand we have come into the issue of new players not understanding swap threads. There have been about 6 incidents of people posting links to their GBs in swaps and not fulfilling the swaps claiming to not understand. Some of those people were removed, others who agreed to never do it again and pay back what they were owed have been allowed to stay.
More recently we have begun not adding any new member into a swap thread without first messaging them about how swap threads work and waiting for them to respond they understand. It's now happened again even after the messages.
This problem seems exclusive to W. It has happened with several members and only began happening once the link GB feature was activated.
On N I am adding in new members all the time. Once or twice in the last two or so years a person hasn't understood the swap threads and posted to ask about them, no one my guild on N has ever not fulfilled a swap and feigned ignorance. On W it has happened with about 6 people over the last 6 months.
Has anyone else been experiencing this since the link feature? Is there any explanation as to why this has only seemed to come up on W multiple times but never on beta or N?
Can anyone think of any other way to combat this? We now send messages out before adding people in like I said but yet again it happened today with a new member about two weeks in who messaged back that he agreed and understood our rules before being given access. Other than letting the already small guild die out by not adding in new members I'm at a complete loss as to what the sudden confusing on swapping is all the sudden and sick at monitoring swap threads.
