[XP] is a medium-small community of passionate GW2 players who want to experience team-oriented PVE and PVP through raiding, PVP leagues, and open world events.

Raiding is our primary focus, and we are looking for strong raiders (note: RAIDERS, not necessarily GW2 PVE veterans) from all backgrounds, whether you are a player from GW2 launch to a new MMO player who recently picked up GW2 Heart of Thorns. We are also looking for non-raiders to help support our cause and interact with our community during off-raid times, such as Guild Missions, PVP, and other accessible open world activities.

————————- “Organized, Yet Flexible” Raiding —-———————

We offer a place for new and veteran players to progress in GW2 raiding with no strict schedule commitments though our Flexible Raiding structure. Though we allow our members flexibility in availability, the guild takes a very serious approach to raiding.

Applications, calendars, personal coaching, character planning sheets… many potential applicants have expressed that these are WAY too excessive in their minds, and many other have commented that they don’t believe our system until they see it. However, our founding members believe and trust that this degree of dedication and organization is essential for our flexible raiding structure to succeed in GW2 raiding.

And, honestly, we are looking for those individuals who dont need to be convinced about goals and philosopy, and will take raiding seriously while being able to socialize, interact with our community, and have fun at the same time. We let our members decide how much time they want to commit to GW2 (guilt-free!), and [XP] leadership plans around these schedules to ensure that whatever time IS spent in GW2 is worthwhile for each member, and isn’t wasted on egos inhibiting progression, lack of attendance, disorganization of planning, drama, etc.

This way our raiders can maintain a healthy balance Real Life priorities while maintaining the ability to experience challenging team content in GW2.

Just wanted to quickly share my experience with Riven and his leaders. Before joining XP last week my GF and I have been trying to find a guild for 2 years now. Not finding a group that fit us personality and goal wise really was unmotivating for us to play this game. Not only are the leaders of XP experienced veterans but they are also hands down nicest we’ve come across in this game. My GF and I have seriously refound our enjoyment of this game because of finding this guild. Enough from me! Go read the incredible guild site and speak to Riven to find out for yourself if XP is right for you

Please be careful when applying to this site, it may be hacked, as soon as I signed up, I got a fishing scam on my GW account and a notice of attempted logins, fortunately I don’t use same login and pw for forum sites. May be an issue they should look into.

This is the first time I’ve heard of this issue from people using my site over the years. I will investigate with the host to ensure this isn’t a coincidence. If people want to apply and are unsure while i verify, please send me mail ingame or PM me here.

I signed up and I don’t have anything wrong. I haven’t heard any other reports of thay from any of the guild members so it must be a fluke or something else entirely.

Ok, now that I’m home, I contacted the host support. Here is their response:

No one to date has ‘hacked’ into PB. The main issues we have that affect forum intrusion (or cracking) is due to members sharing accounts (which is against TOS), giving critical admin powers to an member they don’t know very well (untrusted), or using weak or easy to guess passwords. I’m guess in this case it’s the latter.

There is no vulnerability with yours or anyone’s forum. And there would be no ‘hacking’ due to ads either. We have strict guidelines that we set forth for advertisers. The only issue regarding ads would be a rogue ad that redirects a user to another site (generally the app store or such, nothing malicious) but even then we go on an all out manhunt to locate and eradicate the offending ad.

Only being able to go on what you posted, they claim hack or attempted hack? Are there concrete facts to support their claim? It sounds more like they’re trying to stir up trouble for whatever reason.

This person’s perceived security issues are not the result of your forum or ProBoards. Your members are safe as long as they all practice safe computing. (Not sharing passwords, make the passwords challenging – not simple, not sharing personal information, etc.)

As a guild leader simply trying to promote GW2, HoT, and his community, this does put me in a sticky situation during recruitment. I apologize if you feel that our site is the reason you received hacking attempts on your GW2 account; however, I hope my efforts to resolve the situation is enough to comfort potential applicants to reconsider joining our community if they were turned away by this incident. The philosophies of the guild are built around my personal philosophy to uphold the greatest integrity I can as a human being, and I ensure you that I will do whatever it takes to ensure my members can participate in our gaming community feeling secure, safe, and respected.

With that said… I’d like to return the topic back to recruitment.

Spirit Vale… come with us… apply today! =D
