Is your guild "cliquey"?

Not to my knowledge though I have seen this happen and it destroyed some great friendships and cause huge drama in a guild it really was a horrible experience . ( not the guild I am in currently )

But on the other hand i do understand some having a group that do keys together (push group) it does not really bother me I prefer it like that any way , you get to know the players and all have the same goal ect. learn how each other play and sort of know what to expect rather than having members that expect to join high keys ( aka carry ) who have no idea what to do but just demand high key ( grinds my gears) .

Best of luck though , i would worry more about are you having fun , and if not maybe find a guild that can bring back that fun factor for you.

Only through the Lord Jesus Christ can you find no clique. He is not partial for He loved everyone. He paid for our sin on the Cross. He died physically and spiritually for us. He is risen. Jesus is God. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.

My guild is cliquey, but in a good way. We’re all in the clique, but anyone else (randos from Eonar) are not invited unless they’re nice and cool.

My guild only uses me for my onlyfans and feet pics, outside of that I don’t exist. :neutral_face:

That is what pretty much always happens in guilds, cliques form, they are always at higher priority even though people want to pretend things are equal.

That is why getting into new guilds is the best way to do m+ and content fast, if you prove yourself to be a good player, you are inside the clique that will form and get priority.

Any group of humans end up cliquey. It’s next to impossible to avoid it

Yes but this is why I PUG

No, but I keep my guild small on purpose. I’m the GM of about 12-18 people, 10-15 of which raid regularly. We’re all chummy, know each other by first names, and go do things. Some people are more reclusive than others. But that’s up to them.

Honestly, if they are all capable of doing very high keys and are pushing together, there’s little reason for them to take time out of their day to do what is essentially a carry for someone they barely know. I mean, you’re making a negative post about them in public without bothering to hide what guild you’re in. That’s not exactly very respectful either.

The mythic raiders treat each other better because they spend a lot of time together raiding and thus bond that way. Obviously they’ll be closer and more chummy with some guy they only ever see in gchat. Don’t you have friends in the guild from doing heroic only progression?

i wish i could get them to click anything. when i play on my warlock i cant get them to summon anyone.
All jokes aside.
No, but we have a chosen one that cant do any wrong. Its the sweetest most dopest tank ever. every time i see him online i just give him a big hug in g chat.
The dude goes out of his way to help. true hero.

I had one guild that made everyone use first names, tried to make it feel like a family. Of course though the gm would yell at me and say hey hunter instead of my first name. I would say hey I have a name and then go along on our day.

Was an alright guild 3 raid teams each week.

What kind of “balls” does it take to remove you, especially if you are unliked. Its more likely that it just doesnt matter one way or the other to them. Its weird you go straight to “they dont have the balls”.

Yup happens a lot.

I was in a guild recently that only ran me because they felt obligated. They had their little group of hardcore people doing +15 (yeah I know that isn’t hardcore) and anyone who wasn’t in the group was mostly ignored.

Yeah I’d get one run a week. No I wasn’t top dps, but not bad either. But it was the whole feeling of they were doing me this massive favour and knowing by the way they spoke they’d rather do something else, just kinda got to me. I didn’t say anything about it, just quietly observed them. Always thanked them, constantly ran lowbie mythics with their alts to gear them, even handed over a couple bits I could have used on my main. Eventually the runs stopped.

The chatting stopped too, the whole feeling of being in a guild became a memory. I watched other guildies go through the same, several of them infact. The leader became less active and New people joined who seemed to know the clique from “way back” and again, I’d help gear their new toons. Then be shelved again. I became like the person to gear and help people because my dps was op for low mythics, but that’s all they were interested in. And so after hanging in there for many months, I left the guild, server, and faction.

I know yeah I could have run with the other members, and I did at times, but they sorta got disillusioned with everything and eventually they kept playing but gave up the idea of doing anything as a guild.

I haven’t been in a guild since, not that I don’t want to, but I’m now wary of them. I’ve never been lucky to find a long term guild.

So I would not say my guild is cliquey. Granted we do have some players that do high keys with each other but to me that’s fine. Once you find a team that can effectively clear high keys you don’t want to change it. Though none of us have issues doing lower keys to help gear new members for raid.

sounds like your guild is trash

I’ve seen a lot of guilds over the years that do this, but its not always intentional it just works out that way. If you have a group you do more things with, you’ll want to do more things with them, and eventually you get a clique whether you want it or not.

In my guild we all like pvp, and dwarfs. Also the guild leadership is pretty good in making everyone feel welcome. Depending on the time, if a guildie asks for aid, either 1-2 dwarfs show up or a possible 10-20 show up.

Every decently active guild is going to have cliques. Cliques are normal. The amount said cliques are willing to interact OUTSIDE of their clique will vary though.

If you’ve been out of it for awhile, most guilds don’t use /g anymore as they are in Discord chatting instead.

The problem with most guilds is rarely anyone talks so when the few of the people that do meet up they tend to be the ones who are on the raid team and run other content together and thus form their small groups etc
 not much to be done about it with the current state of cross realm servers.
