Guild Wars 2

I’m currently in a guild with a RL friend. But, as a guild member, I can’t see what’s in it for me.

I run dungeons and participate in events and the guild gets points, which the officers can use for banners, etc, when they feel like it. But I only get the benefit if I happen to be there.

Why do people join guilds? Is there some benefit I’m not seeing?

Dropping banners is usually a privilege only given to high-status officers/guild masters, but there are also other guild buffs such as 10% magic find and 5% experience boosts which are given to all representing members.

Toobz, are you talking about only guild perks, or the all around benefits of being in a guild?

I think its a combination of the social aspect and of course the buffs that make people want to join a guild…… nothing is so boring as playing alone…

Guilds are less important in GW2, but they are a great way to hang out with like minded people, enjoy the social aspect of gaming, and in some cases find people you like to do runs with.

hmm my guild uses the guild wide buffs all the time , we also have a active leadership that run wvw guild nights / fractal progression groups / instance farming / map completion events / pvp events – something going on every night…gives a lot of people in my guild opportunities to see all the content GW2 has to offer in a team environment that perhaps they would not have thought they would have done or enjoyed otherwise.

If your asking why be in a guild my answer is that your in the wrong guild !

wrong guild, selfish leadership, wrong place…time to jump ship

All around benefits, I guess. Some of the others have answered my questions thanks.
