That's really missing all the good parts that make a story.   

Actually, you are way off base on that one.  As a Senior Officer in The Helper's Guild (yes, I am in a newb guild) I can tell you we are nothing like Epitaph.  I joined shortly after coming back to the game in January because I ran with a couple of guys and really liked them.  Yes, there are a lot of new players but most are open to suggestion and growth.  What can I say I like teaching and at the core there are a really good group of people, many will bend over backwards to help each other.  We are no fucking Epitaph.  We have grown fast and absorbed a couple of smaller guild who asked us to merge.  It's a weird period because we are trying to sort all the growth out.   We have a solid core of officers who believe in being friendly and helpful above all else. 

Ink, as for Fuf there were guildies in that run and it was immediately brought to the attention of the officers.  He said, "The portal bugged out and would not let him through."  Now, it's the first time I have heard of that happening but we have to take his word on it.  We will keep and eye on it and address the issue if it happens again.  We do not condone this behavior and it is strictly against our code of conduct.  If you have anyone has issues with members of the guild, please tell me in game.
