hey yall! I’m a returning vanilla player who more or less stopped a little after BC came out, and only popped on for a month or so every couple expansions because of you know, adult life.
I feel like all the sense of community that used to be here is gone. I post in General asking if theres any social guilds looking to recruit people and see literally zero response, same in trade. I actually had a person say theres no such thing as guilds anymore and wish me good luck lol.
i miss the days of g chat being poppin and fun. doing random world content and raiding AC towns. BG’ing together and and doing MC and BWL here and there. all that stuff…is there anything like that anymore? are there still fun social guilds? is there still community? am i just on the wrong server?
im about ready to just make a guild and have its pitch be basically what im asking for here lol.
anyway, thanks yall

naw. its nothing like it was in BC and vanilla. the community is dead and buried, with only the odd sight of the wow addict scurrying about doing wow junkie things like running the same dailies over and over for that 1% increase in dps.

The hyperfocused Community aspect of Vanilla was a product of it’s time. The only way to get it back is a time machine.

You don’t ask in GD about guilds. It just gets you nowhere really. The new guild recruitment system offers you selection criteria and social certainly features in that. I’d check out your own preferred server’s recruitment rather than come to the delightful swamp that is GD.

community is found in guilds
find a good one, it can take time and a bit of looking around, but there are plenty of great guilds out there.
don’t listen to the venom GD spews about them.

The WoW community is pretty splintered across guilds/discords at this point. The only people left in GD and Trade are trolls and people who have nothing better to do than to post on forums all day.

what on earth is this new guild recruitment system you speak of?
The community is largely dead, sadly. Especially compared to back in the glory days.
Thankfully it’s still alive in some measure if you find the right guild(s). Unfortunately, the socialization mostly happens in Discord these days. It’s really weird.

OP General Discussion is where the misthranopes, trolls, raging entitled Karen’s and Kevens, RP rejects, and attention whor-seekers come to spew on each other.
Hit the Community button in game to find the good stuff. It takes a while but TBH if you want make your own. There’s people out there whose weird jives with your weird.
OK, relatively new. Old one with new bits. Don’t be splitting the hairs.
I think you’ll have better success at finding what you want from Discord. Find a community for what fits your desires
In the menu bar click on the guild button…it will take you to a guild search function and you can apply for guilds there. Choose the aspects you are looking for and search then apply to a few if you like their description…guilds are definately going to bring what you are looking for if you find the right fit.

If you’re on a low pop server, it’s possible that guilds are dead specifically to your server, but you can (should) be able to find people that are cross realm to join. The Community list could be a start. Might have to try a few to find a person who is on your mindset level but it might be worth it.
Failing all else, restart or move to a high pop server. Increases the odds of contact with a person or group that get along and you can get along with.
avoid a majority of allied race ones
yeah the discord thing is new to me, like, is everyone jut talking on mics now? what if i liked typing into gchat while i run around lol
AH ok, it is hard to tell the sarcastic posts from the genuine ones, since tone of voice isn’t available. Sorry about that.
If you look on your action bar is there is an icon where the Guild tabard image normally sits. You can click on that and search for guilds that suit your needs.
