I am among those who consider that Internet is not a place in which you can behave like you want, a place in which you can hide between a nickname to act like a dick and do stuff you wouldn't dare doing IRL.
Therefore, I do not approve the "hack" of the account of this guy. It is uncalled, low, and it won't make him come back, or even regret. Actually, it'll probably make him feel happy he left a guild with people that are so mean.
About the act of leaving the guild, well, many of us have been, directly or not, concerned by this. Friends leaving to a better guild, or better guilds inviting you. It is not something nice to leave a guild that have helped you and geared you from scratch, in which people treated all treated you as a friend, and that still had a future. Though, to compare that with real life again, people leaving their job because they got a better offer somewhere else (I was thinking "enterprise" at first, but "football club" is probably valid too) is something pretty common. I don't like this, but still, it's something that happens all the time.
I've been asked to join bigger guilds than mine a lot, in early 60ies. I stayed because I didn't want to be the one leaving the others behind. Sometimes, on a sad event, I wished the guild would go from "almost down" to "completely down" so I could leave with no regret (and it finally happened :/).
The thing is that there are two possibilities.
- Either this MT was some officer / guild leader that really invested himself a lot in the guild, did all he can to make it progress, and faced lack of focus and lack of will from some of his members daily, and decided to leave after he had given far more to the guild than he had taken (not talking about items only, but investment, which is even more important). Then well, you sometimes need to take a break, and to change. Those who've led a guild know the feeling. If people cannot respect the fact that a guy might just not want to play if he isn't having fun playing, it's a bit sad.
- Either he was a new MT that got in lately, took all the warrior tier tokens to catch the other tanks fast with some item priority given to tanks, and just left after he got what he wanted. Then, and even if I would try a more diplomatic approach than deleting his characters, it's understandable that people got angry.
