plonqBad: Your latest in a line of revolving-door Priest Class Leaders quits the guild and transfers off the server.
Worse: He cleans out the guild banks of epics and gold first.
Insult: He also steals all of the bags while he's at it.
Annoying: ... bags for which yours truly donated a good percent of the raw materials.
Douche Bag: He logs into the guild forums after the fact to gloat about it.
He'd seemed like a reasonable, level-headed individual (which is why he got an officer position in the first place).
<speculation>
Here is my guess: he had some RL friends starting up a guild on another server, and rather than just saying, "Hey guys, I'm going to /gquit and move over to this other server to join my friends." He decided to cash & dash on the way out. He figured that he would be a big hero in the new guild by showing up with his bags full of money and epics. Since we'd have no way of knowing which server he had transferred to, or what name he was using on the new server, he could be uncontested in claiming that they were "parting gifts" from his previous guild. "It wasss our birthday present, precioussss..."
It would be the perfect crime, with no repercussions. Sure, he might feel a little guilty at first, but he'd get over it.
</speculation>
His parting words before he transferred his characters off-server were, "well im sorry you're upset, but i guess everyone is going to have to get over it"
Classy.
He couldn't just end it there, though. He logged back into our guild message boards under an alternate account to gloat about the perfectness of his crime. His reasoning was that by giving him the passwords to the bank alts, we had given him tacit permission to loot them of anything he saw fit at any time. He was sure that Blizzard would see it the same way.
Apparently they didn't.
They are restoring (what appears to be) all of the pilfered goods. It seems that he also felt a twinge of remorse when he found out that he was not going to get away with his stunt -- but I'll let him explain it in his own words from an email he sent to our GM after the fact.
"Im writting this to admit guilt. I did steal from the guild bank. I do not know why I did it, and i feel horrible for upsetting you and the rest of the guild. You are right the whole guild treated me very very nice and I went and pulled a stupid ass stunt like that. My account is under review for what I did and will most likly get banned."
You're right, punk, we did treat you really well. You sure had me fooled -- I'd have pegged you as one of the last people to pull this kind of crap. Sorry to hear that your characters are getting nuked after all that time you spent building them up. Oh wait, I'm not sorry to hear that at all. Good riddance.
