It’s looking like the time has come for me and my guild to part ways. Many of the people I most enjoyed playing with have either left the guild or stopped playing entirely, and my friends list further dwindles every day. I don’t want to quit playing WoW, but neither do I particularly want to continue playing in a guild (or on a server) where I no longer have fun running with my fellow players.
Now, the standard procedure when one is guild-shopping is to seek out listings on the WoW forums. The problem with that idea is that, by and large, I don’t like the people on the WoW forums. With that in mind, I thought it’d be a good idea to post this here instead. I know a decent number of people here play WoW, and there’s bound to be someone on here whose group has the type of members I’d enjoy playing with.
The playstyle I’m looking for is simple enough in theory: I’d like a laid-back, PvE-focused guild that does 10- and 25-man raids on a semi-regular basis, with no real raiding schedule or requirements beyond having fun with a group of people who aren’t jerks, aren’t idiots, and (for the most part) don’t completely suck; whose members play together primarily because they like playing with each other, and view the achievement of in-game goals as secondary to that purpose. Plenty of guilds meet one or two of those criteria, a few meet more, but rare is the guild that combines all of them at once. I’ve stumbled upon it once or twice in the past, but it seems like every guild that meets that description inevitably either turns “hardcore”, or else peters out once all the more amibitious members take off for greener pastures. Still, perhaps someone here has had better luck than I.
As for me personally, I enjoy raiding – especially with the right group of people – but I no longer have the time or inclination to be a hardcore raider. I’m good for one or two “raiding nights” per week, preferably on the weekends or late afternoon (7-8 p.m. EST) on weeknights, but I’d very strongly prefer not to have to meet any raid attendance requirements. I’m not as geared right now as I was at 70 – primarily because everyone I used to raid with left – but I’m not exactly in scrub gear either (2021 SP, 30.14% Holy crit, for the interested)…and if I may be so bold, I’m a pretty damned good healer. I’m always willing to help out with farm runs, guild heroics, leveling run-throughs and the like; I’m mostly in it for the company and for something fun to do.
So, there you have it. Anyone out there have a guild compatible with my playstyle that’d be interested in a shiny new Healadin? I eagerly await your responses!
