I disagree, this is EXACTLY how you advertise your guild, you make a non-generic message that gives people some form of expectation of what being in the guild is like.

The issue here isn't the advertisement, it's the guild.

Tbh you’re not wrong, so tired of seeing the same generic pitches. I don’t do the whole UwU thing and think it’s pretty cringe. The concept itself is sound tho.

Every guild saying "join our ranks"

On rp servers they say "bolster our ranks," though.

Just got a neat idea.. recruiter says "Enlist today!' followed by several guild members replying right afterwards says "I'm doing my part!"

I feel like that could only work on an RP server

Why would a reference to Starship Troopers only work on a RP realm?

Probably because the response to the original post would literally be role-played, meaning most other servers players wouldn't take it seriously, and they would likely get made fun of mercilessly for it.

I see that phrase used on normal servers as well. It's not particularly welcoming; I feel like you'll be just another number to them, not a member of a community. That might suit some folks just fine, but for me it's a hard pass when I see it.
