Guild Wars 2

Hi there!

I recently foud out I’m not an MMO player. I love RPG’s, I love MMO’s and I’ve played GW2 for about a year now with a lvl 80 and a lvl 60 character. But I’ve never really participated in the MMO part. It was mostly just solo PvE levelling. Sure, I’ve done a dungeon or two, I’ve worked together with other players on occassion (besides dynamic events where everybody pitches in), but I’ve never really been part of the community. And I feel I’m missing out on a lot of good stuff that way.

To get to the point, I’m looking for a guild that’s a friendly and helpful community.

One of the main deterrents for me when it comes to participating in any group experience is that there often seems to be a bit of an elitist thing going on: you have to get everything right or you’re a noob. I am fully aware that this also has to do with my own sensibilities: I feel attacked easily. Where other people shrug and forget about it, stuff like that demoralizes me.
Of course, this doesn’t mean I feel I deserve some kind of special treatment, but I would like to be part of a community where people have an understanding and patient attitude towards new/inexperienced players.
Doing dungeon runs with guildies, as well as participating in PvP and WvWvW together seems like a lot of fun.

So what do I have to offer in return? Well, the very same qualities I’m looking for, for starters. I’m naturally patient and friendly and I love helping other people out.
Besides that I like to think I am a competent PvE player, with a willingness (and eagerness) to learn and grow

Concerning more practical stuff: I am on the Whiteside Ridge server with two high lvl characters, so I can immediately participate in any content you guys are currently interested in

Thanks for reading and have a nice day

Hiya Karylos! Time to help you be an MMO player, eh? =P That kind of friendliness and community can be hard to find, and I’ve had my fair share of elitist people scoffing at me for not knowing something (whatever happened to “We were all new at this once?”). I know you’re on Whiteside Ridge, but if you’d be okay with guesting, my guild, Ember Solace, is on Tarnished Coast, and we’re specifically welcoming to newbie players who might not know all the ropes yet. We’ve got a lot of members who are on different servers and guest over to TC so we can play together. We like to have leveling parties where we do map completion in various areas (we worked on Wayfarer Foothills a bit the other night), and we answer all kinds of questions about stuff. One of our members, Falunel, even posted this newbie guide for new players. If you’re interested, you can read our full guild recruitment post (it has our Purpose statement) and stop by our forums to check out our application (it’s how we weed out the elitists and unfriendly people). But whatever you end up choosing, I hope you find that great community you’re seeking. =)

Hey, thanks for the response!

I’ll definitely consider joining your guild, your recruitment post really appeals to me

I’ll let you know soon!

Well Aidyn, I’ve decided to join you guys, I’ll place an application on your site soon
