Returning player LF a raiding home

Salutations

After being in Europe for the last 8 years, my road has now taken me back onto the shores of the US and I am now wanting to return to playing the game I love in the way I love.

While I have been playing in EU, moving back to the US presents several obstacles. Mainly, I need a home to raid in.

I have been raiding in some capacity since Vanilla, even hardcore pushing during Wrath/Cata/MOP. After that family life took over and I fell into casual play, but kept raiding, and pushing when time allowed.

That’s where I am currently at. I am looking for a guild that is looking to raid no more than 3 days a week, weekend raid would be perfect, but still wants to clear content while it’s relevant and even push a little further when life allows.

Obviously, having just returned I am a little behind, but with a little help that will be overcome pretty quickly.

I’m 33 and have no energy for toxicity or elitism. I’m a decent enough player and experienced enough to understand that criticism is a part of life. I am also old enough to know when it crosses the line. I just want a guild that makes it a joy to log in to get away from real life for a moment and kick some buttox while doing so.

You can find me at Âsa#1610. That’s [alt]0194

Hey Aiyssa! I sent you a btag request - would love to chat!

Might be easier to reach me on discord - Letholas#9581!

Hi Aiyssa,

MGB sounds like it could be a good fit for you. Even if you’re not on the server you could join the guild on a fresh alt to see if you mesh with the general vibe before committing to bring your main characters over. We have a large social community and the more the merrier. We also have a smaller group that is more focused on pushing M+/PvP/Raids as well. In 9.0 I was 7/10M, KSM, and 2100+ PvP and am happy to help anyone improve if they are interested. Happy to discuss more if you’re interested.

BTag: Deadlift#1353
Discord: Deadlift#4338

Raid Schedule: (6 hours/week)

Fri/Sat - 8:00-11:00 PM Eastern (5:00-8:00 PM Pacific)

With 9.1 almost upon us, MGB is bolstering our progression raiding team and starting the trial period for new recruits. This is an open invite to anyone who is interested in challenging themselves with more difficult Heroic and Mythic raiding content and getting that sweet, sweet loot as soon as possible. We are happy to provide suggestions for improvement to anyone who is willing to learn. In Nya’lotha we were able to clear 3 out of the 12 Mythic bosses with a very late start so I am setting our stretch goal for Sanctum of Domination to be 7 of 10 Mythic bosses killed.

The raid schedule is still somewhat up in the air but is likely to be sometime around Friday/Saturday night from 5-8 Pacific time.

Prerequisites to join:

  1. Be respectful of your fellow raiders
  2. Show up on time and let us know if you are unable to make a raid night
  3. Play your class to the best of your ability

Also note that if you can play your class well enough to meet our minimum requirements you are more than welcome to play an off-meta spec or select an off-meta covenant.

Hello! I’m raid leader for an Alliance AOTC Raid Group that raids on the weekends (Friday/Sunday). We’re also 30s and up, balancing a desire to raid with a need for work/life balance. Also big believers in no toxicity/elitism. All we ask is that you play your class well and have fun doing it.

I’m adding you on bnet and I’ll leave my group’s details below, but if you’re interested, let’s talk. We’re getting ready to start putting some groups together for the Megadungeon next week and start up progression as well! (10/10 H last tier)

Also, welcome back to the states!


Recruiting: Healer (Shaman, Paladin, Priest pref) and Damage (Melee and Ranged) - all classes welcome!

  • Current Progression: 10/10 H Castle Nathria
  • We raid on Friday and Sunday Evenings!
  • Raid Times: Fridays @ 9-12 PM EST / 8-11 PM CST / 7-10 PM MST / 6-9 PM PST (3 Hours) -AND- Sundays @ 9-11 PM EST / 8-10 PM CST / 7-9 PM MST / 6-8 PM PST (2 Hours)
  • Mythic+ Keys throughout the week (runs organized via Discord)
  • We DO NOT expect a server transfer or joining our guild if you are happy where you are! Since we only raid Normal and Heroic content, we actively use a cross-realm community to keep our players together!

Who We Are: -Respec- is an Alliance AOTC Progression Raiding guild based out of Blade’s Edge. Our members are all veteran raiders that believe in good class play and teamwork to overcome all raid challenges, while also being a group of laid-back nerdy types wanting to have fun in raid.

Goal: We focus on clearing Normal and Heroic modes of raid content while it’s relevant, while also being able to maintain a good work/life balance during the week. Our general atmosphere is more mature and intimate with a hard stance against toxic/elitist personalities.

Who We Are Looking For: The kind of people that would enjoy and excel in our group are players who prefer smaller raid sizes with a chill atmosphere, but still want to see good class play from others. Most of us are in our 30s and up while being Nerdy, LGBTQ+ Friendly, Couple Friendly, and overall just having fun playing together. For the person who is trying to juggle life while still wanting to push raid in a quality environment - we’re just that.

Open Invite To Our Next Raid: Ultimately, the only way to see if we’re a good fit for you is to join us on one of our raid nights and see what we’re all about. I welcome anyone interested to hit me up on Discord or Battlenet and let’s talk more about what you’re wanting from your raid experience and what we can do to match it. As long as you can play your class, we can explain the fights and make it work!

Hey Aiyssa, I see you’ve had some action on this post, but if you’re still looking around, I sent you a BTag friend request (Sum0 Ninja) to see if my guild would be a fit for you. Hope you find something that fits!

Hiya.

We might be a fit for you. We’re an inclusive guild with players ranging in age from 20-70+, with an LGBTQIA presence, and make reasonable accommodations to players with disabilities. Our core philosophy is that of Bill and Ted–to be excellent to each other. We don’t tolerate toxicity.

We have an onboarding process that includes making sure people are pre-geared. We can gear someone in a day so gear literally doesn’t matter to us. If you’re willing to learn to play your class, learn the mechanics, get out of the bad, follow the directions, and tolerate our slightly-inebriated banter, you can play with us.

Our main goal is AotC each tier of Shadowlands without that one guy who yells in voice chat.

Our raid times are Tues Thurs at 6pm Pacific. (7 mountain, 8 central, 9 eastern.) We run about three hours.

Aside from the raiding aspirations, we have a weekly schedule and events almost every night of the week including Torghast night, Mythic+ key night, and a casual BG night. We reserve weekends for world tours, special events, and goofing off on alts.

We hope you will consider joining our crew of misfits in our journey to killing bosses and looting epics and make our core a little bigger.

Please let me know if you are interested via btag or Discord.

Hey! Debuff is currently recruiting ranged dps and a healer. We’re an East Coast US Horde guild on Bleeding Hollow. We hit 3/10M (10/10H) in CN and we’re shooting for comparable progression this tier as well (AOTC plus some mythics, hopefully). We raid twice/week (T/Th 8-11 pm EST). We’re adults with limited schedules, so we take raiding seriously while still having fun.

If that’s interesting, lets discuss. You can reach me either at Wrathblood#1742 (battlenet) or Wrath#3004 (discord). Hopefully we can talk.

Hey Aiyssa! I shot you a btag, bojangles#1291. My discord is Tazer#1603. Would be happy to chat! We’re a group of folks with similar experience and life-situation. We’re older, talented players with families. We don’t have time for the CE grind anymore but still want to clear content and enjoy doing so as a step away from the RL grind.

Would love to chat more. My spam is below! Thanks!

Hey there, you didn’t mention what you played but our guild is currently looking for a fourth heals to finalize our healer core or another ranged dps if that interests you! I’d best describe our guild environment as a bunch of old raiders just wanting to get bosses down and see how far we can go without all the hardcore elitism and toxicity. I’ll leave our stuff below but if we sound like a fit then please hit us up!

Chaotic Neutral is an established semi-hardcore guild located on Alliance Turalyon, while we aren’t a hardcore CE push guild we do like to push as far as we can into mythic with a relaxed and chill raid environment, we raid Tues/Weds from 8:00-11:00 pm EST - as of writing this we were 10/10H and 6/10M with a few attempts on Council before we called for the tier due to raider burn outs.

I’ll leave all our additional info below but if you’re interested then please put in an app on our guild site or add one of the btags to get in contact, hope to hear from you and if not then good luck on your search!

Sent you a bnet request from Rawrabear#1450. If you’re open to going Horde and server transferring, we may be a good fit for you. I run Hefty, an adult only (21+, avg ages 30’s-40’s) semi-casual guild on Area 52. We finished out this tier 2/10M, 10/10H and raid on Tues/Thurs 10pm-1am EST. Our goal each tier is AOTC and then a handful of mythics while still maintaining a relaxed, low stress atmosphere. Outside of raids our folks enjoy running keys, leveling alts, and hanging out in discord. I’ll leave a link to our recruitment spam below, hope to hear from you soon.

Hi there Aiyssa,

i tried adding you on discord but it seems as though discord either doesn’t like your name or that the name doesn’t exist in what you presented… or I’m dumb and doing something wrong… In any case, i run a guild over in Durotan that’s a smaller guild, specializing in raiding in mythic plus. I point this out specifically because you didn’t specify where your interests lie specifically. I hope to hear from you as i could use (what i believe you are) a shadow priest. And now for my spam.

Evolution of Chaos is a tight knit group of friends with numerous years of raiding success and experience.

Looking for players who are committed to raiding or mythic plus and having fun! Can train those willing to learn.

Hey there! Going to drop our spam in as well in case we fit your availability =)

Salue!

Welcome back to the states, and maybe just possibly to [Cursed Guild] the home of plenty of misfits and awkward people who just happen to like each other.
We raid on Tuesdays and Thursdays 8-10 Eastern time. We formed late into the game and as a guild are 10/10 N and 9/10 H. Most of our raiders are AOTC though but were burned out by the time we formed and were just ready to hang out, chill, and do whatever until 9.1

If you want to do more or other things than jusr raiding we have PVP’ers, key runners, and just social people too. And people that do all of the above or different combinations of them. And most of all we like to talk, so we can help you get caught up.

If that kinda sounds like you, or the place you’d like then I would be happy to talk to you about how amazing and awesome we are (I am a little biased though).

Consistent Attendance, letting us know via our discord attendance channel if you will be missing or late

I am happy to speak with you vocally over Discord. We like to speak with all potential recruits before they join, and would also love to run some keys with you and some of our guildies so you can get a good feel for our culture before making a commitment.

Welcome back to the beautiful USA land of the free cuz of the brave would love to chat with you guild spam below

Welcome back!

Spirits of the Lost is a raiding guild on US-Illidan Horde side. We are looking for more talented raiders to round out our already solid roster and make a strong push throughout Shadowlands. Our guild is made up of a core group that has raided at a very high level since Wrath and some even before that.
Our Raid Times:
Tuesday 7:00PM-10:00PM (EST) Wednesday 7:00PM-10:00PM (EST)
We may add an additional day during progression, depending on raider interest. Invites go out 10 minutes before the raid starts.

Recruitment Needs:
Melee DPS – Open to any
Ranged DPS – Open to any
Heals – Open to any Tanks – Open to any

We are always recruiting talented raiders regardless of role that are willing to help push content as efficiently as possible. We emphasize talent - because gear is simply not all there is to this game, and downing bosses is much easier when people understand the mechanics.

About Spirits of the Lost:
Spirits of the Lost is a newly formed guild with raiders that have been in top 200 guilds in the past or have been putting up big numbers on World of logs for a long time. Our leadership is extremely knowledgeable and well organized, and this shows in our raiding. We run our raids to maximize efficiency, and there will be very little time between pulls unless we need to change something up.

How to apply:
Please apply in our Discord server found here: https://discord.gg/XBpdsr9 Our application process is extremely streamlined, and you will find all the information you need to apply in the application text channel as a pinned message.
Please feel free to contact an officer in game if you have any questions: Immatrap: Bloodshield#1303 Deathsaint: BiggChris#11759

I think you would fit in at Descendants of Lore perfectly. If you wish to talk more please add me to battlenet or discord to talk further. Here is our spam:

[A] Descendants of Lore is a semi-casual Alliance raiding guild on Khadgar/Alleria/Exodar/Medivh that has been around since Vanilla (15 + Years). We are a small to medium sized, close-knit guild of friendly, mature players, with the majority being over the age of 30 with, jobs, families, and adult responsibilities.

We offer a laid back environment with dedicated players willing to put in the work to succeed but not at the expense of fun or sanity.

We make a push for Heroic each expansion and sometime dip a toe into a Mythic boss or two when we have the roster.

We raid Sundays from 4pm-8pm CST. (2-6 pm Pacific) and every other Saturday with plenty of opportunities for Mythic + throughout the week.

We are looking for mature, friendly, active, and dedicated players to join us for Shadowlands and beyond.

If you wish to raid, we expect you to come prepared (food, flasks, enchants, gems, know your class and rotation) and on time, come with a good attitude and know how to wipe with dignity and work towards progress.

We will accept anyone who would be a good fit for our guild, and can currently accommodate almost any class, but are especially looking for talented DPS classes, healers, and a hybrid tank to help fill in for tanking when needed.

If you have made it past the novella, please consider us if you are looking for a fun and friendly environment with an established, long term guild that doesn’t tolerate drama. Or if you are looking for a raid experience filled with silliness and dad jokes.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or wish to consider Descendants of Lore as your new home.
