GW2 has done away with many of the MMO standards. Why join a guild that is holding on to them? What’s the rationale for joining a guild in the first place?
Grouping? Open grouping for events is instant and enjoyable. Why wait for a guildmate to arrive? By the time they arrive the event may very well be over anyway.
Crafting? Crafting is simple enough, and a single character can master every craft available.
Dungeons and Raids? Arguably the strongest reason, but dungeons are doable with PUGS and without the old spectre of DKP, pre-raid requirements.
Affinity? You love PVE but occasionally want to join a PVP match with your hardcore friends? Why shouldn’t their guild get the benefits of your membership while you’re climbing the tournament ladder? Why should you be locked out of their guild chat?
Answers? All you need to know can be found online or even in a world channel.
Hassle? Do you secretly enjoy being told what colors to wear? Mandatory logins? Forced to join a guild forum? Having your playtime structured for you? Paying money to belong to it?
GW2 is different. It’s time to think of guilds differently.
Vagabond Daggers is created specifically for the social and transient nature of GW2. The Daggers are building a new guild to serve as your core guild – without the baggage of restrictions and requirements that we’ve had to deal with up to now. Join us for the social aspects, for the camaraderie and familiar faces and represent as long as you want to – with no drama when you flip over to represent another guild for whatever reason you want to. We think you’ll like us enough to come back.
Guilds need you more than you need guilds. Representing members earn influence and influence allows a guild to get what? A vault? A meal? Some collecting and crafting bonuses? These are perks of membership but hardly a reason to be a part of any guild. So what’s special about Vagabond Daggers?
You are.
The strongest selling point of any guild is it’s people. We are looking for mature players from everywhere across the world. Our goal is to create a 24-7 no-drama guild where the members have a good time and can play their own game with other people who play for the same reason you play: to have a few laughs, to achieve the impossible, and to blow off some steam in your refuge from real life for a while.
If we pull together, we can make something memorable. Look up any of the Daggers and ask for an invite. We play on the Yak’s Bend server and there are only 2 rules to abide by: no drama, and don’t be a jerk. Mature players welcome – leet kids will be happier elsewhere. And for full disclosure: we are presently 3 members. You make it 4, and 5, and beyond.
