I tried many kinds of guild in my first few years of the game and what always put me off was:
The controls freaks who want to dictate how and when I play.
People who insist on brining their real-life issues into the guild.
Cheaters
Scammers
Con artists
Drama queens
Back stabbers
The list goes on…
Basically, my experience is that people hide behind their avatar and don’t give a rats furry crack about how they effect other peoples entertainment…nobody needs that!

I honestly wished I could be part of a small, maybe 12-15 player group that just wanted to do M+ when enough people were on. Just a very small group of people that liked to get on discord and joke around and have fun but could get things done.
I don’t know how to find such a specific unicorn of a group.
Historically I’ve led guilds. Frankly, I got tired of babysitting the childish types that seem to be drawn to this game lately. Became a bit of a drifter for years with various guilds here and there, just lurking and soloing. Finally decided to revive one of our (mine and my wifes) old guilds and only invite real life friends who still play. Today that’s only 3 people, counting us, so…
I’m 60, wife is 55, best friend who still plays is also 55. We’re happy with the way things are. No one to cater to anymore. THANKFULLY!
If the right sort came along we might consider inviting them, but we don’t recruit or advertise anymore.

How do you get from family obligations to Guildies not liking me?
I don’t see the connection.
Sorry, that is for the next line
I generally don’t run into many issues getting a guild but here are the problems I run into:
- Have been in Drama before and I just don’t like drama.
- I work shift and this conflicts with raid. I am the main tank and won’t be there for 22nd/23rd this month for example.
- I tend to be conflict averse - if I run into a group that is pretty bad, I generally will stick with it unless it is extremely untenable.
- I don’t like giving constructive criticism unless it’s someone I’m close to.

I’ve been looking for a guild for weeks now. Maybe it is just the server I’m on, but I can’t find a guild that likes to do m+. I even made a forum post on the server forums but no one replied. Nothing serious, I’ve rarely pushed beyond 3k. And lately, I get lazy at 2600-2800. Having friends to do keys with would be nice though and maybe motivate me to play beyond portals. The people I used to play with in Shadowlands and Dragonflight started treating pugs and randoms poorly so I quit playing with them. Been a lone wolf since!
Other than “I like the name of that guild” and going through a process of elimination… there really is no way to vet or apply to guilds.
If you want to raid at a specific time its easy, you look at recruitment posts. Other than that if you dont want to raid… communities with larger populations ro “super guilds” are probably better for the adhoc times you do want to do content.
I had a great guild back in WoTLK, but everyone quit playing since then. The guild this character is in was invited by a coworker at the very end of Legion since he and several of his friends were going to raid and wondered if I’d like to join. I had quit the game myself about 3/4 of the way though MoP. They all stopped playing after BFA, and again, so did I. I came back a week or two after TWW launch, only one to do so, but I am content to be solo. Most of my multitude of characters are in my personal guilds.
I also have complex things irl that make me unreliable for group content. That’s the big reason I don’t try to find new friends or at least guild mates.
Deep and unending hatred for the fact that other people play the same game as me.

Probably my guild.
Every classic guild I joined was super racist
So I dont have a classic guild if that counts
I want to be in a guild. I do. But like others, family commitments mean I have a complicated schedule, so I cannot commit to dedicated, set times for events.

I have found zero difference between being in a guild and going solo.
Guilds don’t talk, they don’t help, they don’t do anything for you.
Unless you’re part of a clique or part of a raid group, you’re nothing to them.

I’m too good to be a lowly guild peon, so I just wallow in my own bitterness and suffer my own company as a result.

but if you are part of the clicke and raid team, guilds are awesome.
