Hey Nadalyne,
TC guild here! =D
I can relate when it comes to guilds that aren’t cohesive or interactive since I’ve bounced between a few myself before I found my current home. If you’re looking for a guild to become actively involved with that is also engaging, cohesive and really gives off a friendly sense of community, then you should check out Remnants of Hope.
For the full run down on us, you may want to look at our recruitment thread here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/TC-Remnants-of-Hope-PvX-WvW-RP-2/first#post2420651
However, to address some of your points:
– We hold events for just about anything you can do in game, but we never require any members to participate in any type of content. If you’re not into PvP, there’s plenty of PvE events to join us on and you never have to do any PvP.
– We don’t require any members to ever spend a ton of time in game. Many of us have plenty of RL that takes us away (myself included) and that’s not a problem. We only ask that you be engaged as a member of our community when you are with us. =)
– We also have an active calendar where we have events regularly, generally with at least once per day and upwards of 3-4 on the weekends.
Now, you’re going to hear from a lot of guilds that advertise about being active and such, so let me get down to what I think sets us apart. For all new members, we do have a longer application than most guilds. Once a member applies, we also have a two week trial period where members are asked to fulfill some requirements that consist of posting on our forums, joining with us in events, and getting to know at least one person who will sponsor you as a good fit for the guild. After these two weeks, we do a brief interview with you to check up and see how your experience with the guild has been.
The reason we have all this set up is because we want to make sure that
A ) We get a chance to really know every member that joins our guild. We don’t want new members falling through the cracks or being left out.
B ) This also ensures that every member that joins has an active and engaged community to become part of.
Anyways, if this sounds like it may be a good fit for you, feel free to check out our forums and apply. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me on the forums or in game.
Oh, also if you do decide to try us out, you can do so as a guest at first if you prefer and transfer later on when you feel comfortable. Unfortunately, TC is usually a full server, but we try to keep records of when it drops below full for members that want to transfer in.
