Guild Wars 2

Treefolk for the Ethical Treatment of Plantlife is a cult looking for skilled members of their profession, who are patient, kind and always eager to seek a higher challenge.

We are a close knit, 50% rep and quickly growing Dungeon/Fractal and Raiding guild.

In ETOP, we value skill over build. We believe that to judge someone based on their AP or equipment is wrong. We should be accepting of people that are dedicated and passionate. In the past we have fostered a community of people eager to learn, and now we’re looking for people who’d like to teach with us.

Our guild level is currently 36. Missions are every Sunday @ 3pm EST with a guild alliance [DMoS]. We raid 3-4 times a week at reset. Tuesdays are our teaching nights, Friday and Saturdays are our progression nights. With the recent influx of many enthusiastic raiders, we are now recruiting people who want to lead a team of their own.

Although we might sound scary, we love new players! Especially those who are willing to learn. Our guild is hosted on the North American Tarnished Coast server.

Our main form of VOIP is over Discord, which also serves as a forum and hangout. We are generally an odd bunch, but if you like weird, you’ve come to the right place! Joining us on discord during active times will help us get to know you way better, and who knows! Maybe we’ll become friends!

We also foster a small Overwatch community every night if you’re into that.

Our most active times are as follows:
7pm-2am EST
4pm-12am PST

Hey there,

Sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m an old WoW raid veteran; participated in realm-firsts during the BC/WotLK era.

Hey Silver, Nice to meet you! Just added you in-game. Glad to already see some interest! We’re about to do some CM Path 3 right now if you’d like to join!

Two days of casually browsing here and this is the first post I’ve come across that didn’t make me cringe.

Ah a necro! Necros are so good to have, mostly because spectral grasp is literally the best! (and reaper is freakin boss!)

We’re in the middle of CM Path 3 if you have nothing better to do!
Just added you.

bump update!
4-manned a scale 35 tonight with Silver, Arora, Seventh and I! Got Ascalon, Frostbite (worst fractal ever), Asuran (seventh literally soloed the last boss!) and Molten Duo
Was a ton of fun. Learned how to work together to keep each other alive. Tons of clutch moments xD
Will be doing some of the Mordrem event tomorrow. Stay tuned for more bump updates!

Fritos signing off

I guess I should post since technically I’m the leader… I just wanted Fritos (FlameAlchemist) to do the recruiting. I’m not good with Forum stuff…

I just wanted to clarify why we decided to start recruiting. The guild has existed for a year now and there’s really only been a team of three people, with the more recent addition a few months ago of a fourth. Raids are coming up, which means that we probably won’t be able to get by with 3-4 players like we have been with dungeons and fractals.

One thing I’ve noticed with our guild is that we’ve played as a team for long enough that we’ve actually begun to synergize with one another to the point where we don’t really need to communicate too much. We work off of each other’s strengths and weaknesses and that’s why we can underman dungeons and fractals to challenge ourselves (like our 4 man Aetherpath)

If we can pull this off with a small team of 3-4 people, I would like to see what a cohesive team of 10 can do.

This is also the reason why we’re even accepting the newer or less experienced PvE players. It’ll be less than two months before HoT comes out so we have a bit of time to practice and work on our team building. We’ll make sure you’ll be dungeon savvy before the expansion comes.

That being said, I’m happy with the response we’ve gotten by this thread so far. We are still looking for more people though! Just having 10 people means we’ll be short if anyone is not able to be online, so we’re aiming for ~15 active people. I think we’re halfway there now.

Le bump!
Duoed a fractal last night!

Le Bump Update!

Ran Arah P2 today for the hell of it! Apparently Seventh found a “hidden” path to skip nearly 70% of the mines and we ended up finishing the dungeon a little under an hour. Also stoked to find out my p/p thief build synergized a little to well with Breach’s Vampiric Aura trait! Vampiric Aura with Signet of Malice, Sigil of Blood, Invigorating precision and Omnomberry Pies make for quite a tanky thief build xD Talk about front line time! Literally get about 25% of my health back per heartseeker on 10 stacks of might Maybe a viable build?

We also got three new members! At this point it’s safe to say we’re over halfway to out goal! Things are finally starting to look up around here in ETOP.

Bump!

So much activity! We’re doing more dungeons every day! Three-manned a fractal after Seventh finally got his thoughtless potion. Definitely a good time to start learning the other three paths of Arah. Path 2 is starting to go a little too smoothly xD.

Another member joined us yesterday morning Welcome Drussix!

Sounds like a great group and I’d like to join. I think our interests and attitudes match up pretty well.

Fun fact: I can’t remember the last time I used voice chat with a game.

Nothin’ like a good ol’ Bump Update!

Welcoming our newest recruit, teegees to the guild, we’re quickly approaching our healthy number of active players. It’s really heartwarming to see all the new initiates already coming out of their comfort zones, as the day we all work together towards a common goal draws ever nearer. They become full members in a matter of days! Time flies so fast!
Last night we decided to try to take on Lupicus (no exploits!) and actually struggled a bit dodging the grub touch the first time around. After a few more tries we quickly established what everyone’s role was (..and also received a helping hand from teegees as soon as he logged in to join us!).
Being the squishy thief, I ended up being the poor fellow that drew the boss’s aggro all over the room as everyone else tried to get everyone up from down state. My god, I was blasting those pistols for life siphon like there was no tomorrow! …and even managed to survive a bit until I’d eventually fall down and couldn’t get up till Drux’s nomad warrior came to save the day! xD

The meta my friends, is changing at an alarming rate. NOMAD warrior?!
…like who even comes up with this stuff anyway? :P Save gold/hr with zerk? or save your friends with nomads?

Stay tuned for more exciting updates!

One month till heart of thorns! Bump

Assembling a raid scouting team for next week’s BWE #3!

Bump Update!
Welcome our newest member, Hoax to the guild!

After scrolling through a bunch of Guild Recruitment messages for the past week, I finally came across your post which intrigued me the most. I can actually see myself running dungeons and raids with your Guild (if allowed to join) once HoT comes out.

Hey, your guild sounds awesome. I’d love an invite to try it out. I’m in a small PVP guild but i’d love to have a PVE group as well. Raids have me curious and I’ve just been doing fracs pug style for the past few months.

Hi I just read about your guild and I am interested in joining your guild mostly because of the way you guys run and because I’m interested in raiding! I main a necro but have also an ele and a guard! Was exp wow raider and the only guilds I’ve joined so far are wvw guilds! Been playing since launch.
Thanks waiting for your reply

This sounds too awesome. A friend and I are looking for dungeon/raid guild. Hopefully you don’t mind I don’t know all the paths of every dungeon even though I have a Twilight ;p

Account – Cicri.7152

Main: Warrior (maybe rev switch? dunno 100% yet)
My fun fact is I have a very dry sense of humor.

We can chat about my friend, he is 100% interested in raiding but I don’t want to force him to join a guild just because I’m in it. Fun fact about both of us, we say mean things to and about each other constantly.

HOLY COW! So many new applicants!!! In a SINGLE NIGHT we have reached our soft cap goal of a grand total of SEVEN new applicants! Thank you everyone who applied!! We now currently have 16 active members!! (More than enough for taking on raids this weekend!) There’s still room however, for a few more members for those of you still on the fence

@menios
Hey there! Nice to meet you! Necros are SO great to run with, seriously, (I don’t know what the fuss is all about with them) I play thief with a full on life steal build and vampiric aura just makes the difference between life an death for me haha! Are you planning to try out reaper? I can easily see them being the new DPS class at the rate things are going. Its really a good thing you have prior raid experience too! Maybe you can help us out with some old strategies or past experiences!

PS. I’m sorry for the late reply, I passed out literally an hour before your post! Just added you in-game

@Cicri
You guys sound like you’ll fit right in ETOP! Seventh, our guild leader archmage likes to give people crap about the smallest things in a non-serious manner too Maybe he’s found his match? haha

Your friend is always welcome to join! Maybe he can join us for a few dungeons tonight if you guys are online! Adding you ingame as we speak

PS. Sorry for replying late! I was fast asleep!

Please stab me for not seeing your post! It’s a pleasure to meet you! And an honor to be the guild that stands out from the others! An Engineer main! Well, I think you might be the first to main engi here haha! A few of us are trying it out not in hope that we’ll like scrapper. We definitely look forward to running dungeons and fractals and eventually raids with you!

I’m currently on a subway to class, so I won’t be able to send you an invite, but will make it my utmost priority to get you checked in on time! Count on it!!

I’m glad to see a positive response from you and your guild. I’m going to be on later tonight for dailies. I’ve already gone ahead and added you, along with @SeventhGrave. From the looks of it, it seems like a lot of warm, enthusiastic, and fun people will be filling up the guild roster. Looking forward to chatting and learning each others’ play styles.

Hoping to see you guys soon and get a spot on the weekend raid
these are a nice, chill, but talented bunch. they didn’t mind a weird thief
when I first joined.

This guild looks like lots of fun! very interested in joining you guys

Mains: Thief and Revenant(Full Ascended(agony gear 100) on Launch)

I enjoy conquering challenging content in all areas in the game but at heart I enjoy tackling extremely hard content in PVE the most. In my past MMO’s I have excelled well as a Healer and Tank in WoW( in its prime years) and SWTOR. My ambition was to become the best and complete all content that lies before me. Those motives has not changed since my arrival in GW2. Ive been playing since head-start as a thief and soon to be revenant. Heart of Thorns brings yet more challenges to be conquered. I would love to tackle the new content with you all and boast about our victory’s.

Awesome Facts about me: I never give up, Very kind, Very cooperative, Values Teamwork, Love all kinds of challenges, and Enjoy killing players.

Bump Update!

Welcome our newest members Tricky, the reaper and Serafyna, the druid-in-training! Had a ton of fun introducing them to the wonderful world of explorable dungeons, and look forward to potentially raiding with them someday.
It’s been three months since we’ve closed recruitment, and we’ve reached a whopping 35 members! Now as the winter season comes to a close, we’re thawing out from our small slumber and getting ready to raid once again!

Hi there!

I just stumbled across your guild recruitment post and I really liked the sound of it! I greatly enjoy Fractals and Raids, and I really like your approach to Dungeons. I’m not too terribly concerned with success, I’m just looking for a group to consistently do higher end content with and progress! PUG roulette is…well, ya know, a roulette!

So here’s hoping to ya’ll still recruiting. If not, thanks for your time anyways!

Have two fun facts: I’ve got an appreciation for awful puns, the worse the better, and I’ve got a fascination with gearing and building characters in GW2.

Thanks in advance regardless!

Bump Update!

Welcoming Shade SWG to the guild! We now have three raid groups up for the weekend, with a few more slots to be filled! Looking forward to raiding with all the new peeps

Bump Update!

As of the past three months, we have received a large influx of well-skilled and passionate raiders. Along with these raiders were other new faces as well, even a tempest with less than 900 AP!

ShadeSWG now leads raids in the guild as an inquisitor. And as a result, we’ve begun revamping the guild to support more raiding and a larger community. (New guild logo!)

In addition, we have created a new raider rank that includes exclusive access to a storage of helpful raid food and useful materials.

Stay tuned as we begin to grow bigger as a guild!

Sent a PM, looking forward to join a late night EST weekday raiding party if possible.

Spam control won’t let me PM you :\ Just gonna post what I was going to send here:

Hey! Interested in [ETOP]. I’ve been an on/off player for a while now, but I’ve returned due to a lack of games to play.

I have a fully ascended geared Herald, and may work on gearing a Chronomancer eventually. I haven’t tried raids yet, but I’m interested in them. I’d appreciate if you were to help a pleb git good

Thanks

Hello there,
I’ve read your post and this sounds exactly like the kind of guild I want to be in. I don’t have much experience in raiding (only done VG and a bit of Gors) but i am really eager to learn everything there is to know about raids.

Pm me if there is anything else you want to know.

So nice to see more interest in the guild! Apologies for the slow reply, Literally just woke up thirty minutes ago hah!

@ Air Balloon Rotom S.
Nice to see you come along! A shame the private message feature on the forums weren’t working.. I might have to look into that. We could always use more heralds and chronos, in raids!
In addition, we wouldn’t mind helping you get familiar with raids! As of now, we currently raid twice a week, though soon that could be up to three days!

@Zeitsturm, It’s an honor to sound like the guild you’ve been looking for! We’ll be more than happy to have you in raids, even if experience is something you worry about. It’s kind of funny how raid groups these days are almost like trying to find a job.. you can’t find a raid group without experience and you can’t get experience without a raid group!

In any case, I have sent the both of you a pm on what to do next as you guys proceed in your journey to become experienced raiders in ETOP!

See you guys on the battlefield.

Filled out the application.

Recruitment is now OPEN.
