Hey all,
I’ve been playing GW2 solo since release and am returning from a 3 month break. Since returning I’ve spent the last month trying various guilds, all of which have been extremely disappointing. So I thought I’d give here a go.
The following are absolute musts for me – no exceptions:
- Inclusion of all guild members. By this I mean I don’t want a guild where 3-4 friends use the other members as a LFG pool. It’s fine to have “preferred” party members, but if it’s the same guys grouping together over and over don’t invite me please.
- No requirement for 3rd party voice chat programs. This kind of bleeds in to the first point above. I don’t want to be in a guild where all but a few are nattering away on TS – it makes the guild feel barren. For reference I will not be using 3rd party voice chat programs ever, so if you expect your members to be present and listening don’t invite me.
- Maturity. This is something I never used to care about, but I’ve been finding certain behaviour starts to grate. I don’t want to be involved in a guild who brag about how much booze they downed last night or the various encounters they claim to have with one anothers mothers.
- Speedclears. I don’t want to join a speed clear dungeon running guild. I want to play dungeons where things go wrong and we have to think on our feet. I want to learn the dungeon mechanics, not how to abuse them. I can see why people do speed clears, especially if it’s the same content over and over, but if your members are at that phase in their GW2 experience you’re beyond what I’m looking for.
What you’ll get in return:
- A member who is prepared to rep exclusively full time and help whenever possible.
- Someone who is prepared to learn from or teach others in dungeon runs. Notice I’ve not mentioned anything about experience level in my requirements. If you want to get into dungeons and want someone to come along on a regular basis give me a shout. If you want to experience a dungeon without stacking in a corner give me a shout.
- I’m also prepared to help with any PvE open world content.
A bit about me:
- I’m a long time GW1 player who played solo for many years. With the release of GW2 I was extremely disappointed in the direction the game had taken. But having come to terms with “it’s not the same game” I’m picking and choosing the content I want to do.
- My goal in GW2 is to collect all light armour skins. I’m now on my final one – the Arah set. Most of the dungeon armour skins were obtained before the “Res Rushing” change which is why I took a break for 3 months – so any dungeon changes since then are new to me.
- I’m currently on the Underworld server, but am prepared to guest on your server for a while. If I like the guild enough I’ll consider a transfer.
- My main is a Mesmer, although I also have a lvl 80 Engineer.
- My play time is roughly from 6pm to 10pm BST weekdays and whenever on weekends. I work full time which takes priority over anything ingame.
- I’ve played MMOs for about 13 years now (and games in general for many more) and seen how much the scene has changed over the years. I’d like to find a guild with that “old school” feel that is absent from many online communities now.
Thanks for taking the time to read. You can contact me ingame or on these forums if you have any further questions.
