The Old Republic - To Guild or Not to Guild

L

Here's the thing. I like the idea of a Guild because occasionally I am feeling social and I'd like to have someone I can hit up to do a Heroic quest or a flashpoint with. (Look at me with the geek lingo down and shit!). But I don't want to be that fat chick on The Guild that corrals her dirty, hungry, screaming kids in a filthy kitchen so she can go raiding 7 nights a week. I don't drink Mountain Dew Code Red and I'm usually getting tired around 8:30 pm EST. The longest I've ever sat and played straight through might have been six hours on a midday Saturday while the family was outside or something.


I don't work well on a schedule because I'm lazy and have a problem with authority. I don't work well being told what to do. I don't want to "know my role." I don't CARE if I have some moral obligation to protect your skinny-ass healer because I just happen to be a tank character. I don't really care if you die. I just want to kill shit. If that happens to coincide with you wanting to kill shit, well then hell, let's go kill some shit together. But if I suddenly decide I'm hungry or something more important draws my attention I'm going AFK and chances are, I won't even have the courtesy to warn you. Sorry.


So maybe I don't need a guild. Maybe I just need someone who will follow me around and help me kill shit that's too hard for me to kill on my own. Yeah, I think that's EXACTLY what I need.


If anyone is interested, my character is a Sith Warrior named Bryn'jaree on The Ebon Hawk server.

\"Guilds\" dont' really seem to fit the universe of Star Wars. I would think \"Factions\" would be a more appropriate term for that universe.

Id say a guild really isn't in your future. But who cares, just go have fun

What you need to do is find one of them \"social\" guilds. Ask around in general. \"Social\" or \"Leveling\" (as they're also known as), guilds are usually loose associations of gamers who don't want the pressure of full-blown geekdom while still playing the game with likeminded folk.\r \r That doesn't mean that if you group you shouldn't mind teamplay... just tell everybody you're DPS and stick close to the tank without stealing his aggro. But at least your guildies are prone to being out in the gameworld instead of being hung up on grouping in high-yield areas or camping X-boss for X-item with a 0.0001 droprate.
