Greetings and salutations, good people of Tyria.
I’m in need of a guild, so please array yourselves in an orderly fashion and stay behind the yellow line until your name is called. Offerings of cookies and cake and pie may be placed on the table to your left, but so help me… if anyone sticks their finger in the frosting, someone’s going to catch it hot.
What? That’s not good enough? Bah!
Hello, and good evening! I’m looking for a small, friendly, laid back PVE guild (20-30 people-ish [If small guilds even exist anymore :‘(…..]) to share PVE adventures with. I’m a veteran player, having played GW2 since launch and GW1 for 8+ years. (Good gracious, has it been that long? Thanks for making me feel old, ANet). I love to help newer players (or those with new characters) doing map exploration and story mode, with the occasional dungeon thrown in. I’m currently on the Tarnished Coast server, but since I don’t do PvP or WvW for a plethora of reasons, server location isn’t particularly an issue.
I’d love to find a group of players (oooh, bullet points):
- Who value friendship and getting to know people as opposed to simply adding numbers to their guild.
- Who don’t take things too seriously.
- Who are more than willing to spend 4 hours doing something that should really only take 10 minutes because we’re screwing around and simply having fun.
- A group who will cater to the fact that a single tree node half a map away will very likely take priority over the event that just popped up directly in front of us (Goodness, no! Harvesting trees can’t wait until after the event. Perish the thought!).
- A group who understands that my dungeon-ing skills can probably be summed up as “terrible rubbish,” but aren’t going to scream at me for pressing the red button that plainly says “Don’t Push.”
- A group who understands that sometimes one simply needs to jump off a cliff for the sheer thrill of it. (Whether or not you rez me for such a display of tomfoolery is entirely up to you and not counted against you.)
What I bring to the table:
- Nothing of particularly great value.
About me (you shouldn’t have told me I can make bullet points):
- I’m 31 years old.
- I have a job, so sometimes that’s going to take priority over gaming. Most distressing, I know, but a necessary evil, I’m afraid.
- I’m fairly active, usually on nightly somewhere between the hours of 5pm and 11pm (Eastern Time).
- Fun fact: I have both Tourettes Syndrome and Aspergers Syndrome, the latter of which being more “visible” during interaction, so please be patient with me as I get to know people, however I’m fairly decent with one on one conversations. Group interaction is more difficult to me, but as time progresses, that will get easier for me. The reason I shy away from large guilds and target smaller guilds is because I can get very easily overwhelmed and will shut down.
- Probably shouldn’t have mentioned the above point as many people have probably stopped reading at this point.
- I hate spiders. Spiders must die. Killing spiders takes priority over the harvesting node that took priority over the event. If there were spiders or harvesting nodes during the battle with Zhaitan, it’s very probable I’d have left you to fight an Elder Dragon all by your lonesome while I gathered my truffles with glee and giddiness.
- I don’t currently have a working mic (and get very uncomfortable around voice chat scenarios anyway), but I could, perhaps, rectify that if I find the right group.
So, there you are. If my unrealistic demands are actually not entirely unrealistic or if anyone is interested in curing my soul-crushing loneliness and would love to go frolicking in the woods while mercilessly hunting the little white rabbits. Feel free to send me an in-game mail or reply here or shoot me a whisper if you see me around.
