Yep, and at no stage was there more than 4. It does not clearly state anything about the group changing. 1 PoS leaves when everything is going fine and was replaced. never more than 4, as what the Triumph states. If it was 'clear', then it would say 'the same 2 to 4 Guardians'.
I am very annoyed. I stuck it out with 2 rather new guardians despite the wipes and then not to get because of an unstated rule is extremely frustrating.
It did this time, as I didn't want to be a jerk to the other two new players, like the human excrement that did leave, it took over an hour. What I get for helping others I suppose.
