"Brothers in Arms" (join a Cabal) trophy will not unlock by joining a cabal.  The only way to unlock it is to make your own Cabal which pretty much discourages people to play to together.  Please fix.

"For the Cabal" trophy is very unclear about the requirements.  For example I joined a cabal, did 3 directives which completed successfully in real time as I was currently logged into the game.  Then I left that cabal and joined a different one, contributed to some directives, then the guildmaster powered through all 5 directives that week while I was sleeping.  The next week I contributed some then went to sleep and the next day I woke up and all 5 directives were completed.  So that's 13 completed objectives but no trophy.  So I'm confused if we have to be online at the exact moment the directives are completed?  Or do we have to contribute to each directive sequentially before the next one comes up?  Or does nothing count at all unless you are the guildmaster?

According to this thread people seem to have come to the conclusion that unless you are the guildmaster then nothing counts at all.  That thread was from almost a year ago.  Is this still the case?
