Guildless in PW? We've got it bad

Become one of us....

Onnneeee ooofff uuussss..... b:boredb:faintb:bored

Random invites are counter productive,you're going to have **** hats accepting those invites only and ruin whatever guild you're in.

Interesting. I've declined many guild invites or people pming me, and I've never had anything other than an "ok, have fun". I understand clerics are more in demand, but what cleric in their right mind would ever join a guild after being berated?

Good luck, and enjoy your guildlessness. I have a feeling you'll do just fine finding groups with or without one.

On another note...are there seriously guilds that have KOS of all guildless players? ouch.

Im agree too, many times others ask me why u dont have guild?....
i have all my friends on my friends list and when i need help i ask they i dont need a guild.

i dont understand random guild invites... and they badger me everyday with random invites too

I used to think that way too, I played alone even when I was in a guild not too long ago. but everything changed when I get in a good guild with good people. you really do not want to play alone when you have good people around you. I used solo HH for coins all the time, but I have not even done one solo since I team with my guild mates about few months ago. I can solo most of the HH we are doing, but we always do it in a full squad now. I do not get as much coins as it used be and some time I even lose coins, but I enjoyed the game much more then play solo. When someone die in HH/FB, we laugh at him/her being the first high level dead in low level HH/FB, we sometime even murder someone to just make some stores, no one get mad when that happen. No one mad when get killed after a HH/FB run or even get killed when he is DCed. We do FB/HH/Boss/Grinding/Quest together, it is a waste of time when we do level 50 boss with a full 80+ squad, but so what, we enjoy play together do things together. MMO is about interact with other people, is about team work. And it is not about you can or not get help you need, it is about how you can help others. As a veno, I hardly need any help, but it still make me feel great when my guild mates/friends come over to help me when they know I am doing a quest. It is true, you can still make friend without a guild, but can you get enough people to do a HH anytime you want by just post one message in the guild chat or just says it in the guild vent? Can you get a rez every time you die? Do you always have someone to talk to when you are doing your WQ? I am not mean everyone should be in a guild, but at least give it try, you may find it is more enjoyable to play with a group of people.

i love territory wars, and that is the only reason i am in a faction right now.

try this: make your own guild, for you and your alts. my family has, to stop people constantly recruit us. works great!

Me, being a decent level guildless cleric in Harshlands, gets constantly invited to join a guild. I don't mind getting guild invites, or random people I pass asking me if i'm looking for a guild, that's all fine and dandy. What I HATE is when I say "No, sorry" some people constantly badger me saying that i'm stupid for not being in a guild and that I should quit playing. b:sad Why?! I have my reasons for not wanting to join a guild. Yes, you may think it's stupid, but I don't. Maybe I just don't like being a "part" of anything. Maybe I like the solo experience. Maybe i've never joined a guild in any game before (except guild wars and WoW) I've heard alot of drama goes on in guilds, and I happen to not like drama. (Not saying EVERY guild has drama, but alot do. Forums and WC prove that)

Ok, I understand that being guildless can make the gaming experience in PW harder. Harder to find teams, can't do TW's, not as much protection, KOS by some guilds etc. I understand it all. But it doesn't mean I want to join one.

I've been guildless my entire time playing this game, and I don't intend to change. The only thing i'm really missing out on is TW's, but i've seen vids of those, and it doesn't look all that exciting. TW payment might be nice also, but I make decent moneyb:shocked, despite being a cleric.

So, to anyone who gives invites, or pm's guildless people to try to get them to join, go ahead, this part i'm not complaining about. But I ask you, if they say no, please don't badger them saying it's stupid, saying they should quit, or insulting them. That person probably has a reason for not wanting to join a guild. b:thanksb:pleased

Many of us feel like you KMIS

Personally, I intended to remain guildless from the start but found myself giving in and joining one guild after another from the sheer pressure of invites and yes, cajoling.

There is as much fun as there is drama in any guild. Good days, bad days, and then one day, it feels like too much of the same things from the same peeps, I get fed up and leave.

Same thing with world chat: it gets so sickening at times, I just switch to the "whisper" button to turn WC off.

I found the guildless solution by creating a guild of my own ("Guildless" would not register, so I called it "Loners") and parking all my alts in there -- with the help of a friend -- and since then, have only known peace and enjoyment.

Amazingly, my friends list has been growing since I left the last guild... go figure!

After a few weeks I become executor then marshal and started recruiting people, many people refuse when I ask, but I dont get mad I say "good game".And guildes wont work only for TWs... the importante part of a guild is the friends we make and the good times we passed.

But not everyone accepts rejection the same way, a lot of people who i reject from joining their guild seem to take it as a personal insult, like as if to say "what, is my guild not good enough for you", so it has come to the point that if anyone give me the slightest bit of attitude then they go straight onto my blacklist.

People need to accept the fact that there are people who play this game that dont play well with others, When i play this game i dont feel the need to communicate with people, i do that all day in my real life, i play this game to escape from that.

Granted the game does get harder the higher you go, but i dont think it gets to a stage where you actually NEED friends to accomplish your goals. I have never been in a guild, i have never even had a person put onto my friend list and im playing the game perfectly well enough to really enjoy it.

If someone insults you for not joining their guild, then it just proves what a good decision you made by not joining it b:surrender
Make sure you add those ppl to ignore list too b:victory

I get invites all the time also. Very annoying but I had one funny one. After they invited me I told them they did not want me because I was a total egotistical ***hole and they STILL wanted me. If your faction would take someone like that you must either be Enrage or be very desperate. I should have taken them up on the offer, had them do all my work, and then asked them to give me stuff! LOL

I do not even like random helpers let alone a whole faction. I do not need people constantly bugging me, getting in my way, lowering my EXP, and taking my kills. I do not even like being buffed by Clerics it just makes it harder to know what my own capabilities are. So I really do not want to be in a Faction!

I have a 78 main on LC, and I'm in a guild and have a lot of friends there.

Here, I've kinda chosen to see how far I can get without a guild, and of course FB's aren't a problem, but doing bosses is a bit more difficult, not that I can't get invites or make friends, but a lot of that is done in guild chat that I can't see or participate in, and keeping my 'friends' updated and an eye out for bosses I might need is impractical.

Some people like the game to mostly socialize, but I enjoy just actually playing the game. I'm also kind of a loner and a bit anti-social at times, and it's nice to get away from all the guild drama and just PLAY the game.

And yes, the random invites without so much as a 'hi' do get rather annoying, and on the few occasions where someone asks me why, I just state that I'm happy being guildless at the moment, or that I just want to see how far I can go until I need to join, get bored to death or just give in to pressure.

There are one or two guilds that I am close with, but yeah, I'm hoping for TW/WB/salary (half joking :P)

EDIT: Oh, and seeing how this is a 'new' server with a smaller base of high levels, I've pretty much accepted the fact that I most likely won't get Jewel or Kisma done. Stuff like Viriddis, Kong and Slither shouldn't be as difficult, but I'll probably never get some of the higher level bosses done either, or they'll be in my quest logs forever... (and I'll try not to bow to the pressure of joining faction just to get them done) though one can always hope though.


Also... One thing on HL you would never have seen on a much older server... when I had to do Gouf, there were about a dozen other people who needed him waiting there. Two different parties tried, two parties wiped. I was just sitting there watching this over the span of about two hours a couple weeks ago. It was kind of an eye-opener to see how different things are for being the same.

Wow first post and what a awesome subject to post on. Yes I am the noobiest of the noob when it comes to PW. but that hasn't stopped six guilds hounding me to be one of them. I have no issues with guilds, but I have an issue with sucky guilds that just want members. b:angry

I will join a guild, but not until I find the close knit friendly community; yes folks tell me I am looking for something that doesn't exist, and maybe so....but I would rater keep looking guildless, than to settle for a guild that I won't be happy in.

now them's a few qualities decent factions look for b:victory

our faction is on dreamweaver also - we are an adult faction ranging in age from 30-70, if interested in joining an adult guild/faction, contact ChaChing in game, who will request your consideration to an officer.
