I have mixed feelings about OOC recruitment of any kind, IG or OOG. On the one hand, we have a player shortage, and recruiting is how we fix it. On the other hand, I really hate how so much of winning wars these days seems to be OOC recruiting nobles to migrate to your realm. Declare war and BAM, you get a rush of new nobles created, immigrated, etc, as OOC word spreads.
IMHO, this isn't against the rules. It makes sense to do, and I don't think it's particularly harmful to the game. At the same time, I do think it's tasteless, and, personally, I would probably send a private message to the person, politely (emphasis on POLITELY) telling them so.
And can I say...
I've only done it once myself and that was as part of Oligarch's WCC revenge plans. The WCC sure as hell wasn't standard back then and its like is even less common now.
Good times... good times.
