This is a feeling out process. I have not made up my mind yet.
I have recently merged my guild into another guild that we worked with closely. This was due to numbers, and lack of recruitment. Yes this could be called my fault, but I do believe this was a good move for my members. I am NOT a recruiter, my specialty is leading small team tactics, siege placement and usage. I got thrust into GL position by my co-leaders leaving the game. I tried my best to make us the best we could be, but nobody would take up the recruitment role. I love each and every member of my original guild, and think the merge was the best option.
The only problem with this merger is my role. This is gonna sound very odd, but if read it fully I hope you understand. I want to leave the new guild because I respect them a lot. This is in the best interest of the stability of the guild leadership. I have a very large reputation on my server. It would not be right for me to take the lead of the WvW efforts over the current leadership. I can already feel the pressure to take reigns, but refuse to do this out of respect for my new guild. It is not my intent to destabilize this new home for my former guild’s members.
So, now with your understanding of why I’m considering this move; I’ll give you a bit about myself.
I’m a WvW player! I hold very little interest in PvE, or sPvP. That’s not say I don’t do any PvE, gotta pay for WvW somehow…lol. I have been playing GW2 since the first beta, actually should say, I been playing WvW since the first beta. Many like to call me an elitist, but if you ever run with me it becomes apparent that I am far from it. I AM however very focused, and determined. I am a commander on the field, BUT I hold no commander badge. I have no use for them. I find they attract too much attention at all the wrong times and places.
I’d like to go into the non “Elitist” thing deeper. I have done more with a 5 man group then a lot of 20+ man zergs. I have ninja’ed everything including SMC (I’m not on a bottom tier server either). I don’t require certain builds or classes, or even lvl to run WvW. I take and utilize what I got and make the best of every opportunity available. The one thing I do require is unquestionable following. Many times, I will lead to our death, but it serves its purpose. Tactics and maneuverability are my specialty.
Another area I truly shine at is Siege placement and usage. This is kinda where my OCD kicks in. WvW is siege warfare, not a PvP game. Siege plays such an important role, that its placement can mean victory or death. A siege placed in the wrong spot is just a waste of supply, prints, and time. I may not hold the title because of the unachievable achievement, but have been called on 2 servers a siege master. I don’t mind folks that are unsure and make mistakes placing, but it drives me insane when I see folks that think they know, and refuse to learn better tactics. I’m also very proactive about counter siege. Meaning; I don’t scream in chat “we are being trebbed” for 20 mins not doing anything…frankly, I usually don’t say anything other then to my team as we head out to counter.
So what am I looking for?
1) I’m looking for a guild that is in need of a WvW commander. Not just a badge, but a true commander.
2) I’m looking for a server from NA T4 and lower. I have no interest in top tiers.
3) I’m looking for a guild that has players from 7pm ‘ish to midnight ’ish EST
4) I need, and most guilds have, but still must be said; A reliable voip communication in place.
5) I’m looking for a team/server that is looking to learn some top quality tactics.
I won’t be doing a knee jerk guild/server hop. I would like to meet, chat, and even guest to get to know each other.
I’m sure I could be able to get references to my abilities, but this will require some subtle tact. I don’t wanna send my server/guild crazy. I’ll make sure my current guild will be one of the contacts. Although, I may attract a lot of attention with this post…but we’ll see.
Contact me in game or here.
