I agree with you completely. People still act like guild hopping is the worst thing to happen though
I too agree with Lou here - I only ask to be informed when leaving a guild that said guild is in a conflict. It would also be nice to be able to join another guild once the conflict is over without having to wait the full 24hrs but that is an acceptable annoyance if HCS determines to keep it as is.
Also, I don't see the big problem with guild hopping. There are many good reasons to hop guilds. I have friends in multiple guilds and enjoy visiting them. Why should there be a penalty for visiting friends and helping them out for a few days?
