Guild Wars 2

Hi there,
I recently returned to GW2 after a long break. I have focused mainly on sPvP the past few weeks. I’m currently trying to learn to play several different professions in unranked soloQ, having a lot of fun and getting great results so far, however, just playing soloQ game after soloQ game is getting somewhat boring. In other MMORPG’s I actively PvP’ed in like WoW I used to have a network of several dozens of players who were basically always up for a few PvP games, but in my past few weeks of actively PvP’ing in GW2 I haven’t found a single other person to play with. I’m always politely trying to start conversations with the players I’m matched up with/against, hoping to make new friends and find some people to queue with while talking on TS/Skype. Not even for the wins, but simply for the sake of breaking my monotonous chain of soloQ’s. I’ve been looking for PvP focused guilds ingame and in the ‘Looking for’ section of this forum and searched Google for a bit, but I cannot find a single guild that revolves around PvP, just PvE and server-specific WvW guilds. Of course I’m not expecting to become part of a big network of PvP’ers in my first weeks of playing PvP in this game but I’m really wondering if there are any guilds, communities, anything, out there which aim to bring GW2 sPvP players together so they can form temporary teams to queue with (or even serious teams to play ranked with, though I am not ready for that level of play yet), ask questions to fellow PvP enthusiasts, find specific professions to scrim against 1v1 (which would be incredibly helpful to me atm since there are a few professions I really need to practice fighting against, but I can’t find anyone to scrim with), hang out on TS, etc.
Thanks

I’m not sure whether the guilds are recruiting, but there is a selection of large open pvp guilds as well as smaller teams. [Revo], [TPvP] and [Zeus] seem to be open and friendly, but I can’t vouch for any of them. Msg them if you see them. Also if someone plays well, or you got on with them, just add them to your contacts or directly invite them after a game. Eventually you will end up with a large pool of people to play with.

Are there any PvP guilds out there?
No

Should there be?
Yes

Teams that run under a guild name I don’t consider communities or guilds.
You cant join them, they just showing off there team.

GASM is probably the closest you’ll get to a community.
Being OP is hard I think use to be a community.

Unfortunately I’m not an active Facebook user, but I will give it a try if I can’t find people to play with within the next week or two. Thanks for linking it!

Can’t find anything about TPvP. Zeus seems to be for experienced players only (which I am not). Revo seems promising, will try to contact their leaders and see if it’s a good guild for me. Thanks for helping

Sad to hear there aren’t that many dedicated PvP guilds. Thanks for the suggestions, I will try to contact GASM too see if it’s a good guild for me and if they’re recruiting.

Well EU has ‘many’ PvP guilds though. We got ReVo, ZeuS, tpvp, WEED, misc and some others I can’t think off atm.
All depends what Region OP is though

Oh I know EU is more active in the PvP scene than NA.
Most builds I used were EU builds because it’s hard to find videos of active NA pvp builds.

I wish NA had more in the PvP community, but we just have GASM, and from what I get from the community, people don’t like them but they are the only ones trying to get something going.

I think this is one of the reasons why a lot of people from NA quit, because lack of community.
