The legits aren't all gone. Obviously not all the legits come from SRF. I've so far recruited 19 hand grinding people into the guild. Only 1 which heard about Thebes through SRF.
There are legits out there, just gotta find them and bring them in and keep them occupied by fun things to do. Personally, no one used to go to Guild Collision arena with me before. 2 Days ago I somewhat forced 5 of the Lv30+ to go with me. They didn't know what it was and werent sure about it. Once they got in and it was a Score type. They loved it. Now they keep asking me to register and got the rest of the guild involved as well.
There's that, and then there's the promise of awesome adventures at Lv100+ in Water Temple. We were 5 or 6 legits above Lv90 4 months ago.. and if only the highest ones helped us to reach their levels then we could've went all together to Water Temple and such. But, no.. everyone was in it for themselves. "Why would I want to wait for people, no I'd rather bot." That was 3 of the guy's responses. The others quit. Eventually the legits that botted quit too. Now, I'm the only one above Lv98 legit on Thebes.
I'm helping all my newbie guildmates to gain level or give them that last 15-20% push sometimes when they want a level. I can do it and I don't mind doing it.
