Guild Wars 2

Blah blah blah returning player blah blah. Important bits:

80 Warrior (banners/warhorns)
Gate of Madness server, willing to transfer
US EST, evenings/late nights
PvE: okay
sPvP: a regular/static group would be fantastic
WvW: prefer lower population servers, small scale activity
VoIP: okay
Representation: not quite 100%

To go into more detail I’ve been playing MMOs for over ten years now, and am looking forward to settling into GW2 which seems to be less demanding of my time than these games traditionally have been. Most of my previous connections appear to have moved to other games so here I am, looking for a guild.

Let’s get PvE out of the way real quick. I don’t mind doing dungeons, and in fact I’d be willing to go out of my way to experience them and also pick up some of those shiny armor skins. Guild missions or events same thing, don’t mind participating in guild stuff every now and then, but PvE is not going to be my primary focus and I’m not very likely to attempt to optimize/change my build for a PvE role. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll do my best, I’m just not a dps charts kind of guy.

I’m mostly a PvPer. Through PvP I’ve met some really awesome people over the years (both as allies and opponents), and I’ve personally felt that while PvE content can grow stale, PvP never can because your opponents are always trying something new. Because of that I am very highly respectful towards other PvPers and would expect a similar mindset in a guild.

I have a lot of large-scale faction PvP experience from playing Aion, which includes assisting in organizing groups/raids. Mostly getting them formed up and to a spot and ready. Experience leading such groups in action is limited, but I’m very familiar with sieging/capturing/defending objectives. So I have an idea of how WvW works though I haven’t really participated much in it in this game. That said I’d prefer to operate in a smaller guild group (say 5-10 people) taking secondary objectives or roaming.

sPvP, I’m not saying I’d like to go competitive or anything, but I’d like either a regular group of people to play with/against or to be part of a static team. For this I am willing to optimize my build to suit the team’s needs, but I am primarily a support/defense oriented player.

Goodness this ended up long. Uh, representation is the last thing I wanted to touch on. I expect to represent the guild almost all of the time. The only reason I can’t promise that I will always represent while online is because I have a group of friends I’m guilded with who play on rare occasion. As of this posting they haven’t been on in a few months but if they get back into it I will be playing with them during the day, and it will in no way affect any obligations I have to the guild, its events, or WvW.

Last thing worth mentioning, I am willing to transfer servers, but I would prefer not to transfer to the most populated servers such as Blackgate. I also may not be able to transfer right away as I’m slightly broke atm, hah.

Uh, that’s about it. Will be in touch if anyone’s interested.
