My main is a thief, about to hit 80.
What is a casually serious guild?
- The guild recognizes and respects RL commitments. I’m mid-30’s, have kids, and manage a large software dev team across multiple timezones. Sometimes I will disappear for long periods, though I will try to give warning in our guild forums so you know I haven’t ditched ya.
- When we are playing we are serious about getting things done, whether it is a dungeon, an sPvP session, some WvWvW, whatever. As my free time is limited, I don’t want to have people /ragequiting or drama’ing all over our dungeon run.
- Have fun even when losing. We’ll lose some matches, and get rolled in WvW sometimes, but personally, I like to laugh and wreak some havoc while I do it. Would like a guild of like minded folk.
- Has vent/TS, but doesn’t require it. This is important to me as, while I’ve chosen GW2 as my MMO home for the indefinite future (cause it’s awesome, right?), my job requires me to talk with people most of the day (I’m dreaded “middle management”). One of my big de-stressers is to be able to play without having to talk or listen to others and just enjoy environmental sounds/game sound effects, so I honestly don’t tend to get into vent when I’m in a guild.
That said, I will use voice for critical occasions. For example, if we put together an sPvP team to compete in ranked tournaments, you can count on me. The rest of the time I am a big text chat user and forum-goer.
I realize the last one may be a problem in this day and age, but hopefully there’s some great guilds out there that understand.
Any takers?
