Guild Wars 2

About Me: I am a mix of casual and competitive in my game play. I really like to dissect a game and see how it works as I enjoy learning (and even math), and that typically translates how to play well and meta game. However meta-gaming isn’t my actual playstyle – I look how to make the way I want to play the best possible it can be rather than playing whatever is the best meta, which means you can find me on some unique very non-meta builds. These efforts mean I do lean towards to being more competitive and like being in a guild that supports that. However that is a lower priority – I love socializing with people in games, and is the main reason I play MMOs. I also love learning with and teaching other players, and that doesn’t always happen in competitive guilds. I’ll take a casual guild of people I can call my friends over one that will boot me because I can’t play every day. I took a two year break from this game because I found myself booted from guild because I was gone for two weeks. Life should come first.

What I’m Looking For A guild that does all game modes: PvE, PvP, WvW. While I mentioned I tend to be more competitive when I play and like a guild that has people I can play like that with, I know that is not really compatible with my game time. I work from home and can play on my downtime, which means I can easily log 50+ hours of play in a week. But then I might get an urge to do something else (be it go out and have a life, watch a movie, or do a different game), which means I’m not 100% consistent. I’m really hoping I can find a guild like I have in some other MMOs – a group of friends that will still be there even when I do take breaks from the game, and hopefully have friendships that extend beyond this game. Taking breaks is how I keep interest in a game; a gear grind is not enough for me, and breaks allow me to forget stuff so I can enjoy relearning it and allow new stuff to build up for me to figure out. This means I like to take occasional breaks that can last weeks or even months, but I always plan on coming back. It’s how I have been playing DDO for 10 years, and will continue to do so. Hope it can be the same here.

More literal needs:
VOIP – I can use Vent, Mumble, Discord, or whatever. 18+ preferred. I am not one that cusses much and know how to behave around kids, but I like not needing to worry about that.

Website – This really helps my “I like to take breaks” playstyle. Allows me to keep up with the guild when I’m taking a break as I’ll still check the guild website and chat with people as I want to keep the friendships up while not in game.

Quality – By this I’m not going back to the “competitive guild”, but rather not wanting a zerg guild. I like being able to trust everyone in a guild that I’m in and is someone that I can catch in VOIP rather than some nameless face that is no different than someone I’d catch randomly in a PUG. I have no problem following an application process.

I know all of that was a bit rambly, so please feel free to ask me any questions!

Just adding the note that I’m willing to change servers if needed!

hi, i know the feel and i hope you would consider being a part of us.
more info about our guild

with that being said, i don’t want to mass invite people because no one should be treated like another adding number. but i suck at recruiting. lol.
i’d want a place where exp and new players collide, learn from each other. while the burnt out peeps get the hype from the newbies again and they just look at the game with a different view. everyone has a life and it should always come first. so we don’t have a kicking policy unless initially stir up drama and/or fights within the crowd.

PvE really connects people. but i play PvP and roam in WvW a lot. i play very casually, online often, however afk a lot. but when it comes to seeing an enemy, i’ll want to test my skills and be competitive. if that’s what you meant by “competitive”. also hoping to find more PvP or WvW roamers so we can group up and have a good match or two.
not a big fan of meta myself, i really hope to find people with more diverse builds, builds that scream your personality.

i want to look into the website part of it and would love to set up one as a one-stop shop for the guildies’ convenience. but i’m a pleb xD
