Caerleon doesn't (or at least hasn't) generated 25-45 million daily for a long time.



Bullshit, Between the daily doll and the return from the structures owned within the cartel it is still consistently in this range, if you are being told its less you are being lied to and do not understand the ownership structure of the City.

Taxes have been 35% for a long time, recently were raised to 50% because of the new warcamp prices and the amount of attacks we're launching, 100% is only for mandatory zvz guild events. Pretty standard stuff



Bullshit, they are constantly 60% during peak hours and 100 % very often. With the other SIGNIFICANT stream of income it is unnecessary.

What mercia guild doesn't donate resources? We're actually pretty relaxed about this compared to most.



I don't mind the donation. I donated 10x the average member since launch. What I do mind is the lack of transparency as to the resource metrics. What I abhor, and what every member should abhor is the complete disregard with which the resources are used. High tier items crafted without focus. High tier resources refined without focus. Resources used to craft / study in disgusting bulk to PL mafia alts which then do not contribute to the guild with their focus (what do they use their focus on who knows). Resources left for months in chests inactive with no productive use for the guild. Resources denied to longtime members who wish to contribute as a refiner / crafter and donate back 20,000 / 70,000 focus to the guild for 3 months in repayment.





Your capos keep trying to say ... oh ... we are not WORSE than other guilds .... what standard is that.





Aren't you supposed to be one of the best guilds in the sandbox.





Ask your longtime members, do they feel like they are treated equitably, do they feel like they have transparency to the utilization and metrics/status of the resource situation, are the crafters / refiners that are power-leveled chosen by the guild in a fair and rewarding fashion?



Grommit doesn't manage gathering anymore



Why? He doesn't like being a Capo taskmaster for the mafia Jersey Bro's who get drunk and craft study 300 million silver of mats to push some new artifact weapon they play for 6 hours and then drop ?





I would love to hear Grommit chime in.





I wonder what his opinion on all this. I have talked with him at least 10 times over the last six months and each time he agrees (though somewhat meekly) with me that the scale of mafia MIS-management of this behemoth of a guild and economic engine is a shit show.





Grommit... more than me... more then even Fraca and Headstr0ng has a sense for what the Input side of the gathering section of the guild actually is...





When HE cant even make sense of where all the Carefully / Hard Fought / Painstakingly Collected resources go.... well ... what do you expect.





I have seen Grommit wait HOURS for nodes to flip from .1 to .2 just to have the resources dumped on to some jersey bro alt not even in the guild to power level some new relic artifact without any focus ...





This is probably how you burnt such a dedicated Englishman out.

How exactly does "arena domination" generate wealth for the guild?



PvP domination... well the 2 BILLION silver in sabertooth mounts for an example ...

No proof with accusations of throwing GVGs for money or accepting money for non aggression pacts? Really?



LOL

How dare Fraca and Head have alts that they use for the guild, those snakes..



I think your confused about the alts I am referring to. Probably confused because you have never even seen them. Sure Fraca and Headstr0ng have a handful of direct alts have leveled on their main accounts that they have pushed openly and transparently. Ok so thats what 4 - 6 characters. What about the other 35-45 alts that have been pushed when you take the material differential of resources collected over 6 months verses resources utilized. You made a reference to OTHER GUILDS NORMS above... well here i throw it right back to you... many smaller / younger guilds have 50+ toons the guild developed in specialties / refineing progression for a return of 10-20k of that toons focus per week for a defined period of time. It is a common arrangement for the progression of crafting and refineing alts to generate passive income streams for the guild/ loyal memebrs and to progress crafting specialty in a coordinated and strategic fashion.





I know you wern't around / active at the start but FUS made a detailed spreadsheet with a plan that was completely discarded and replaced with Mafia nothingness as soon as the Jersey Bro Mafia took over.

Uh no... I didnt miss that... I see all the SUPPORT and trimmings you give the guild. When I eat ribeyes I throw the scraps and bones to my fat lovable dumb dogs too.





Come on ... give me an HONEST assessment. If the guild net income is X what % of X goes back to the guild and what disappears / gets snorted up the nose of the Mafia Dons.

I dont even think these Clowns are returning more than 25% of the Wealth to the guild in ANY form.

The guild could surely manage it's money better, that's easy to know.

I talk about my focus because every time I log in 20 EXE people who dont get handouts from Headstr0ng are begging me for it. Meanwhile Headstr0ng makes sure I am consistently donating ONLY to him or Fraca.

Those books are cooked mate ...

I hope that other members of EXE, instead of looking for reasons to succor further to Fraca and Headstr0ng as you have done in your post, instead take a more objective and introspective approach to the real concerns and questions I have raised.

I think that there is some Accountability that the leaders of Exertion owe the remaining members.

As I don't play the game much anymore (your correct), I am eager and happy to be the Marytr for this cause and to nail the allegations the the Mercia portal stone.

Again, I am not trying to measure dicks with Fraca and Headstr0ng... While I have been able to amass a wealth / net worth in game of about 1.2 million gold, I know that both Fraca and Headstr0ng have dwarfed my meager accomplishment 10 times over.

In the past they have admitted amassing near on 5 Million gold each .... I believed them at the time... I expect them to probably have GENERATED that much or more to date... it is very feasable and logical if you extrapolate from the reasonable suppositions I posit in my open letter above.

The question ... is what was done with that amassed wealth...

That is the core question I am interested in learning more about at this point.

Few things,You show how detached from the guild you are with your statements.You say normal members get no support, but we have quite a few chests filled with gear specifically to hand out to members.. again showing how much you did anything with the guild, it's hard to miss the constant PM ME FOR GEAR spam when we form up for anything.I find it funny how much you think you know when you don't login more than once a month to talk about how you donate your focus to the guild(sometimes) and how you made some money on the BMAH.Things actually get logged and spreadsheeted, there's more to the economic side of Exertion than just Head taking all the money, you just weren't invited to be a part of it.Anyway I hope you find or manage to start a new guild that values your focus as much as you do. Good luck![/b][/b]
