I have been leader of dreamofeagles.com for over a year now, and have had the same core members for about that same time. Players like you speak of do exist, but not in our guild! Before anyone joins us we generally like to play with them a bit before we invite them, it's as easy as that. I'm not allowed to recruit here, so I wont...but I would say don't give up - the guild for you, and others like you is out there

Yup, in my guild, same as with any decent guild: any abuse = kick.

On our website we clearly list our rules: sexism, racism, ageism (to list a few) are all taboo.

The problem we have is that out of 45 members we only have around 15 signed up to the guild's forum. As this is the medium we use to arrange GvG, you would assume that the people who complain that "we never GvG" would recognise this fact, but noooo. I've seen a post in "Looking for a Guild?" where someone said "I don't want to have to sign up to a forum." Why not, for pete's sake? Why do people have a problem with signing up to forums? Mind you, I guess a forum is not the best place to be asking that question!

[edit]eep - just re-read this. Started out as a comment and ended up a rant. At my own guildies

An other guild had a lvl 7 leader who was online almost 24/7, just like me, and I got tired of just chatting with him. I don't play this game for meaningful conversations or getting to know each other. I don't trust internet people.
I have my own one-woman guild now, and I'm slowly adding more npcs to the hall.
Don't get me wrong. I like doing quests with people, but face it; Most pugs you encounter either don't have their minds on the quest or spam every form of tactical converstation away by constantly telling health, weapon, energy and level.
I like a guild who consist of relaxed people who really like to do every quest in this game, don't mind losing guild battles and dying during quests, and don't beg for money and items. Preferably one who is neutral on the Canta Kurzics and Luxons. I don't want to be forced to choose sides. Most guilds are way to eager to get to the end of the game, spoiling it for other who aren't that far yet.
Also, the fact that your guildies really like to help you, doesn't mean you can skip great parts of the game. If you are tired of doing the same quest over and over again, you belong in an PvP guild and not a PvE one.

Kitty, that is the type of Guild I am in now. This is my 5th guild since I started a little over a year ago. The first four went downhill because of immaturity or the guild was way to large and that promoted way too many arguments over differences.

My current guild consists of my brother and a couple of our friends along with a nice mixture of MATURE people who help each other out with anything. We like doing all the quests and missions and will do them over and over again so someone working on the Protector title can eventually get it. I trust all of them and have so far probably given out over 300 plat and 30 or 40 gold items or high end mods to these people I call friends. The return has been good also. We are a small guild (25-30 members) and prefer to keep it that way. We are VERY selective on who we allow to come into our circle. We still have our debates, but we want it that way, otherwise it would be boring. In the end, we still come out smelling like gold because we can come to a democratic solution every time without anyone getting overly pissed off. Respect is our motto. So, hey, put me on your friends list if this is what you are looking for and come and play with us. We have a fully functional guild hall and Vent. And a LOT of experience behind us with builds and what-not. And that is only the tip of the iceberg.

Drakyn that almost sounds like an invte O.o but I have to admit I am one of hte guys that ask "you guys have any?? that I can have??" but I do return the favor, I also tend to be the enforcer in guilds when it comes to rudeness etc. I also cna smell a bad player/leader when I see one, got me demoted and ended with me leaving from my last guild. Now I am in BlackBlades and I am extremely happy with it, even though I have to deal with a few idiots along the way I have made a couple very good friends, and one of them helped my sin get his 15k imps which I am still working on.

hmmmmm it sounds like some people are having problems with the guilds they have joined..i would just like more of the guild im in to actually be online playing when i am

.

as im a complete noob at this sort of thing i did not know you could leave a guild once you had joined, as it would be nice to have more players in the guild to help out with the odd quest, but having said that the one i'm in seem a nice bunch, being an older female gamer i have not had any problem with any comments rude or otherwise, and it seems a shame that some people feel the need to be like that maybe they should stop gaming and try talking to people face to face for a change to imporve their people skills.

Well my guild cleared the first 10 hurtles you have up there >_>

My husband only harrasses the men.... (don't ask but he is also willing to share his love freely with anything that walks - he's just wierd not a perv o_O I think >_>)

errm we only ask that if our guildies expect something out of us they repay that kindness later and never anything major... Harrassing is annoying (about to chew a newbie out for it as we speak -_- Course I just pretend he isn't there >_>)

All giving of stuff is your right, not ours and normally we won't ask for anything unless we lack like one flippin tanned hide and then its whoever responds in guild chat first lol.

We love to BS, its what we are best at... Some don't get it -_- or can't handle it and so they leave letting us know that they will find a guild that will go to number one cause they are just that skilled and I say, that's great! Let me know when ya do eh so I can give you a cookie! (we don't care about being #1 lol)

Errm... And not to turn you down because I feel like you have nothing to offer, I just don't think we have ALL the qualities you are looking for:
the farming thing isn't really us most of the time tho we have one or two that love to do UW and FoW (altho 98% of our guildies are trustworthy even tho they might pick on ya about something especially if you are dead - I just tell em to hand it over or you will tell their mommy or worse send our horny guild leader/my husband after them).
We pvp/gvg only rarely.

*shrugs* keep looking hun there are a few rare guilds that would meet all of your expectations. A really good guild is hard to find and you will NOT find one that has no issues - it's just impossible. Heck a couple of our guildies practically hated each other for months... It just eventually passed and neither cared or remembered why it was to start with. Drama is going to happen in every guild and a couple of times I thought some of our core officers would leave, it was just not pretty. Finally I told them to lodge a formal complaint or shut the heck up! The bickering was stupid and petty because all it was and usually ever is, is a simple misunderstanding! You are always going to get at least a little drama. (Most of our officers have been internet friends of ours for years and a few members we've met in person.)

i would suggest checking the guild forum here (not sure if that has been mentioned... for once I am being lazy and not reading the whole thread so bite me). Good Luck!
