Hello Terathel!
Although you mentioned you are looking for a guild on Dragonbrand, you are able to do all content apart from WvW with guilds on other servers via the guesting system. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World#How_to_guest
The guild I represent is a PvE focused guild, although we do step into WvW and PvP on occasions. We always have members willing to help out newer players to the guild, and even have items in the guild bank for new members. We also have members who love to grind achievements and help out in those areas.
MadCast is a gaming community that is bigger than GW2, but we are working on growing our GW2 sector right now. You can check out our website at http://www.madcastgaming.com/ips/forums.
I especially suggest you read through the forums some to get a feel for what we are all about! Here are some points you may find attractive about MadCast:
- We have a mature community. While MadCast has no specific age requirements we do have high expectations for maturity. You will find kind, patient people and no drama. The vast majority of our members are over 18 (especially in GW2). Most of our GW2 members are older with careers, and many have families and children.
- We are a serious community with casual gameplay. In other words, the main expectations we have for members revolves around positive contribution to the community and not on a packed GW2 schedule attendance. If you are active in the forums and show up to a few events a week, that is good enough for us. Additionally, because we are casual our community is made out of all levels of players. We have many very new players, some new to gaming in general, and our environment is built on kindness and helpfulness. People will be happy to answer your questions and guide you through things no matter how basic or advanced.
- We have a super awesome, active TeamSpeak group. We enforce strict rules of respectfulness and tolerance among our players, making it a safe friendly place for everyone. People of all types feel comfortable joining in the conversation and making new friends.
- Our community is bigger than in-game. We have a website with a lot of activity and heavy forum use. This is a huge asset because we have people who play all kinds of games over at MadCast, and the forums really serve as the uniting factor among people.
If you check out our website, you will see information about becoming a Full Member of MadCast. This is not something you need to do right away. Our guild welcomes ‘Associate’ Members, meaning we will add you to the guild, you are free to use our TeamSpeak and join our Forums, but you do not have complete access rights for inviting people to the guild yourself, or accessing certain Full Member parts of our forum.
This is a good way to find out if MadCast is the right fit for you before applying. In the long run, to gain any ranking position, we require people to be an official MadCast Full Member.
If you want to, I’d love to invite you to join us and meet some of our members. I would encourage you to join us in our TeamSpeak (you can find information about that here: http://www.madcastgaming.com/ips/forum/4-new-to-madcast/). Alternatively, you can private message me in game, and I would be happy to add you in to one of our parties.
If you have any questions you can message me in game, post here, or join our forums and ask there. Good luck finding a place for you!
I was a semi-hardcore raider in WoW, but I got really tired of the way the game mechanics have been dumbed down to the point of stupidity and really love the GW2 combat system. Still learning when/how to dodge, but otherwise getting the basics of the guardian down pretty well.
We’re a small Dragonbrand guild that does a lot of WvW and occasionally Fractals/PvE. Even if you join us only for WvW, it would be a pleasure to have you. We usually play together on the weekends and sporadically through the work week. Our members are friendly, knowledgeable about the game (with some Guardian-experienced players), and ready to help if you ask. I hope to see you around!
