I was thinking about joining a new guild until I spotted “Find a Community” in the Guild & Communities tab. I’ve been apart of some guilds but I don’t know how communities work.
People use guilds.

A guild has a guild bank and some bonuses like mounting speed and shorter hearthstone cooldown. People also see your nameplate or tooltip and know you’re a group as opposed to friends from a community who might look like strangers.

Guild share a bank, a realm, hearthstone reduced cd etc.
Community share a chat.

Communities could have been a lot better if they had community perks but they are just… eh.
you’ll get more interaction in a guild. Communities didn’t exactly work out. At least not from my perspective. Perhaps communities were just a bandaid till cross guilds can work.

Now that you can cross-faction join guilds, and once xpac comes with cross-server guilds, communities will be effectively useless.

I cannot wait for that.

Guilds are realm specific. Communities are cross-realm. Both have chat, but guilds are usually better for social interactions.

Communities work a bit like how you choose to make them work. They aren’t as straightforward as guilds but you can join several and they are usually dedicated to some activity. If you want to regularly do M+ with randoms, make a community, and start inviting people you pug with that are interested in it.
Do the same thing for PvP, RP, rare hunting, mount collecting, secret-hunting, and so on. The issue is though that they are per-character rather than per-account, which is why folks are more likely to use discord than communities.
First of all… cute outfit! Looks a lil’bit weird on a vulperan though, but you still pull it off well!
Secondly, I don’t think perks are needed - but when made they should be able to be optionally made account-wide rather than per character. If they were that, then I could see folks using communities a whole lot more.
Communities are useless. Guilds aren’t
Communities are what discord was already doing.

You can only have one guild, and it has gameplay impact.
Communities are just built-in chat groups. Most people use outside apps for that though.
A guild is a sub-community of a larger one ,that pretty much the only difference.
Find a community are those that may or may not be in a guild but wish to be with others of like mindness.
Thank you all for your comments, I think I’ll give a community a try. However if there are Discord servers that do the same thing I’d like to try and join a safe one. A guild would be nice, but I’m mostly looking for interaction without the hassle.
for most part
a guild should be likemined players that do things ingame (and maybe out of game)
and
a community is likeminded players that talk about things ingame (and maybe out of game)
I’d love it if the guild or community I join also played other games as well. I’d love to make a team for Overwatch, finally get into StarCraft 2, talk about or play a different game, or talk about other stuff unrelated to WoW.
