Keep your personal business to yourself when applying to a guild, it’s none of their business
Highlight your raiding abilities, logs
You can join a discord and mute yourself.
Every guild I’ve been is fine with people who don’t want to talk but are willing to listen.

lol ignorant of what? You already said why they rejected you. Like, that’s it, all done.
that was your takeaway from everything i wrote in this discussion?

That’s the only thing to takeaway. There’s nothing else there.

Yup that’s the way I’m viewing this too.

Don’t know how much help it is, but I would recommend asking people for an invite to Z guild and make the intention clear, I like to do M+ and seems like you all do a lot.
From your posts wording I only can assume you were trying to get the application seen rather than a direct invite from possibly many members who would invite.
I only say this because in my experience an “application” is seen more as trying to get into one of the teams, more prone to declines. Asking for invites because “your guild looks like it does M+” is asking to be more casual, and imo an easier way in. Just my thoughts on it from my own and others experience.

yeah, i did try that but everyone forwarded me to their website.
I’ve never understood guild drama. In every guild I’ve been in, I don’t think there’s ever been drama that I’ve been aware of.
Also, OP, you applied to a raiding guild while saying you couldn’t raid their times. What did you expect?

Agreed. I do usually see, umm, eye-to-no-eye with Mister Eyez, but it is his expectation management within the guild in particular that seems very mature and fair.

I’m agreeing with the person that you’re taking it more personally than you should be. You might not think that announcing your mental illnesses is a bad thing, but for a lot of people it’s going to make them uncomfortable which is most-likely why you were denied.

I just feel i was judged as unfit to be in that guild because i said i was schizophrenic, and that hurts… You are right, and everyone else who is saying i should keep it to myself, but when i have a panic attack I like everyone knowing why i’m leaving discord, or a raid group… I try to build friendships, where if they were having a hard time, i’d be there for them, its not just a game, its also a community. I wouldn’t play this if it were just a game, the social level of this game is what has me hooked and coming back for more. I really hope I didnt make them uncomfortable, I am trying to be a voice in that area, schizophrenic doesn’t mean crazy, it has a lot more in common with scared.

Reminds me of the population of DiD people. Everyone thinks “multiple personality disorder” is rare when there’s more people that have it compared to the population of people with eating disorders.

Was that a specific question on the application?
Why bring it up if it wasn’t?
If someone were to send me a job application and they listed something completely irrelevant on it as a specific to their own personal well being, I’d probably think that the person builds themselves around that one thing and they might try to start some drama with it.

WoW isn’t just a game, it’s a community, and I aim to make friends in this community, so I am open about my mental health because I want my friends to know. Same goes for them, if they are having a hard time, I want to help them through it, it’s not a one way street. So I tell them because I need reassurance from others that my delusions aren’t real… Ie, people in my home town aren’t talking to them, controlling them trying to get them to give me a panic attack… that is why.

I can understand why someone with schizophrenia might feel the need to bring it up. If say someone has a breakdown or something related to schizophrenia without anyone knowing they have it, it would be confusing as heck to the people around.

I completely understand you. If it makes you feel any better I personally wouldn’t have denied you, but I would have asked why you feel the need to announce it right away. If it helps here’s a tip. Wait until a little bit before you announce mental illnesses to people especially schizophrenia because people like to think schizophrenics act like the crazy people in TV & movies and this simply isn’t true at all.
You’re right that there’s a huge stigma around that mental illness and people need to educate themselves better on certain mental illnesses so they understand that people who have it aren’t what they think they are.

Right, but you don’t open with that.
You don’t walk up to an interviewer, shake their hand, and say “Hi, I’m schizophrenic”.

Eh that’s for jobs tho. I don’t consider guilds like that. Least with a job you don’t mention that stuff so that you don’t get fired when the employer finds out. Because last I check you could totally sue someone for that since it counts as a form of prejudice.
