So you agree the experience is shit but just don't believe I had good intentions?
Just ask yourself if I was truly trying to farm if this is how I would do it? I can answer confidently no because in my younger years I actually did play an extremely selective set of games to push my rank and was obviously successful at it. At the end of the day I could do the exact same thing now with no risk of being labeled a cheat so why would I select this method?

I didn't say the experience was shit, I said there are lots of things that can be done to improve it.

I'd advise you not to volunteer for the guide program, way too much request via pm it's really annoying.
You can join guide games by having global chat open, request for guide games are also posted there, it's less of a burden that way. It just means you need to pay attention to the chat more often.
Don't know if there is a 3rd way.

That makes it ok then!
Yes, actually I think it does. I think if ljex did this in January, then the number of games played would not be relevant to qualify as farming even. Covid brought us a bunch of new and old players to the site, so I'm perfectly willing to condone someone who appears to show good intentions. I like to trust people that, to my knowledge, do not have a bad record farming NRs.

He has been warned. At the same time, thank you for joining the Guide program. Yes, there has been a great influx of new players lately and we appreciate those who joined the Society of Guides to help new players get the feel of the game and to help them with any questions they may have about the game.
As Donelladan also mentioned, you can also join a request game from the Global chat even without being a Guide member.
