One of the most interesting new but unannounced changes: Patch 4.3 looks to bring with it a mechanism by which you can impeach an inactive guild master. What criteria are required to set an impeachment aren't known yet, but a quick look at the code suggests that after a certain amount of time, a guild's second-in-command will be able to take control of a guild set adrift by a leadership vacuum at the top:
World of Warcraft is just a game, and real-life issues frequently come up for guild masters that prevent them from doing their job or indeed even logging on. Given how much effort goes into getting a guild to level 25, this change appears to answer an underlying need for leadership succession.GUILD_IMPEACH_POPUP_CONFIRM = "Dethrone";GUILD_IMPEACH_POPUP_TEXT = "Your guild master has been flagged as inactive. You may assume control of the guild. Do you want to remove the guild master?";
Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Look at what's ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back! Filed under: News items

"The GM provides the guild perks and you pay with guild experience and/or money generated through cash flow."
Now im very good friends with my GM and i am an officer, however you do not BUY the perks, you buy SOME of the perks key word there, the rest are giveing by you GUILD, try lvling a guild to 25 by yourself. The gl and officers are there to watch over and lead it, your no different fromt he other players. ive been a part of my guild 3 years now. and you sir are a terrible GL.
-Try to enforce your share after you get kicked. (word of mouth noone will join or for long)
-I bought a lvl 25 guild and I let people play and use the perks as they like. (you bought it you didnt get it from 1-25)
-We have yet to see what the conditions are, to be dethroned but I assure you that I'll purge the roster if they should pose a threat. ( your guild will die with this ideal and one day if you want to actually make it a guild of some type pvp pve etc noone will be there with you.)
So yes you are indeed a terrible GL and make me grateful of the guild i have and give me even more reason to help keep it running while my GL does his thing with school.
