My fellow Guild Wars 2 Players.
I am currently looking for an English speaking guild on an EU server. I enjoy playing MMO’s since the early days of WoW, so I would consider myself if not experienced, then at least a fast learner. I am German, 34 years old and no hardcore player (and I do not intend do become one by joining a guild ?). In fact, I play very casual – mostly during the evening on week days, almost never on the weekends. Sometimes I do not play for weeks.
My main character is a Thief level 45. Although I would say that I suffer from a medium case of „altitis“, since I have alts covering most classes up to level 20. And this pretty much defines my playstyle, I am curious about all the mechanics, styles and just can’t live without VARIETY (? I find the Thief most satisfying so far, followed by the Guardian and the Ranger, ah well, call me crazy). This means I rarely get hooked on one particular class, role or playstyle. Therefore, I am looking for a PV“X“ guild, with an emphasis on PVE, though.
I really like the roleplaying aspect of MMOs, something that I find somewhat amiss in GW2, but that is also why I am looking for a guild. All my Charakters are somewhat uniqe, and I would really love the idea of finding a community of people who share some joy in jumping into different roles and characters.
This is why a pretty much don’t like running dungeons with random groups of people. I regard this as a necessity, not fun or even “an adventure”. And I flat out detest the so called speed runs which have become so common, where people hardly converse more then “HI”, kick you because “You are not max. lvl” or vent their senseless anger when things do not work out as speedy as expected.
To put it bluntly in one sentence: I would like to put some more „social soul“ into my game. While the GW2 mechanics are incredibly “social & it is easy to interact”, I do feel incredibly alone in flash mob of let’s say, “200 players killing a dragon”, and dispersing right afterwards into nirvana. But that is almost a topic for a separate thread.
What I would like in a guild:
1. An adult community ? no compromise here, I stated my age above…
2. PVX, but if I had to choose, I would chose PVE.
3. Role play to some extent – I like it when people have some idea about what their character is all about and show it more often than usual.
4. The proactive community with the friendly „Hey there is this really cool event I have discovered – want to join?“-attitude and a good sense of humor
5. English language in order to improve my own English.
What I am clearly not looking for:
1. Speed Runs.
2. Pressure regarding pretty much anything. When you are online, you are online.
3. Impolite players.
4. Disrespect.
I am fine with server changes (currently I am playing on Ring of Fire), as long as it is a EU server.
Thx in advance
Tom.
