First I want it known that I have been with XGC for nearly 5 and ½ years. During that time I have been General over Armada *My home clan*, Legends, Vanguard and Basic. I became a General within 6 months of becoming a member of XGC and built up and split *along with XGC IRONFIST XS* 5 clans. In all of that, I chose not to pursue becoming a section leader simply because I enjoyed working with the players and not dealing with any bureaucracy that may endure in the higher ranks, it seems that that decision was the right one.
When I joined I truly believed, and still believe in the message XGC was sending, promoting and utilizing with all of its members. Over the course of my membership I have noticed that the higher ups, namely Division Leaders and up have failed this community. With them, it became only about the authority and power they had over others “below” them and not about doing what they can in that position FOR the players “below” them. Thus failing what their position was intended for and every member they were in that position to help.
Recently there are several examples of what these problems in leadership has wrought and that is the fairly recent upheaval of members leaving to either join or CREATE other communities, not the least of which is TRU-gaming, created by XGC BlackOps XS and those who left with him. Than to mention the very recent threats to a member who was informed that they were indeed completely expendable if they chose to leave *tho this member had absolutely no intention of leaving, nor knowledge of what was being implied to them*, the BANNING of a section leader due PURELY to rumors that he was intending to leave but no proof given, attained or implied. *these are instances I have personal knowledge of*.
These along with several other instances that have happened to me personally, have led me to the decision to leave XG and move on to something that I feel better encompasses what I want in a Player Network.
I want it known also that I have no, hold no and imply no grievances to those in “Leadership” of XG. In point of fact, I thank XG and all it has provided me over the years. I believe being with XG has made me a better gamer and enabled me to better enjoy my time gaming. Again, I want to stress I do not hate XG, nor am I even mad at them. I simply believe the dmg I have personally witnessed is beyond repair and has gotten to a point that ALL of XG would need to be completely restructured. I would not ask the Council to do this, it’s something they need to agree on themselves if they decide to.
I am leaving XG, however I request that XG maintains it’s own statements and not ban me *as you have banned others for simply leaving* from the site as I have no ill will toward you. I would like to maintain the connection I have with the people I have met as a result of being a part of XG.
In closing, I thank you XGC for the time I have had with your community. I now feel that I need to move on to something that I believe is better.
