Well…me? … I suppose?
I mean, I’m in a guild of two; me and my wife. We do some things like Torghast together, but other than that, we’re pretty much solo players. I’m sitting at just under 200 ilvl and I’m okay with that. Sure, every so often I think I’d like to try Mythic level dungeons, but I’m not about to spend that time putting together a group, and after getting burned some years back, I have a strong aversion to joining an actual guild.
But it’s not that I “can’t” join a guild, but more so “don’t effing wanna” join someone else’s guild. I don’t trust other players, and playing with them and interacting with them more than I absolutely have to sort of repels me.
But because of my choices, I’m fairly satisfied with where my character is since that’s the nature of the game. Although I do wish there were more solo oriented content that was actually a little more fulfilling.
But enough of that rant, I guess what I’m asking is what do you mean by “can’t” join a guild?

Keep at it my good Vulpera friend! 
I’m pretty much in the same boat, except I PuG sometimes.

Can’t join a guild or won’t join a guild? Seems like most of the folks with this complaint fall into the latter group.

won’t. 1v1 rated do it blizz!
Same.
In a guild of one. Want to try Mythics (I’ve never run one ever) but my social anxiety makes it hard for me to PuG. Would like to try raiding again, but it always feels like guilds are looking for recent experience and an ilvl I can’t reach without pugging.
But at least there’s no drama in my guild!

Too inconsistent of a work schedule to actively partake in a raiding team
There are weeks where I’m unable to log on at all because of work

I currently raid WoW classic, so that restricts my options for retail raiding schedules.
Another issue is that if I’m going to join a guild it’s going to be for mythic raiding foremost. Until I’m free for that, I’m unguilded.
There’s guilds and communities that work with that though. Probably not gonna be a mythic prog team member, but it’d be easy enough to do normal/heroic.

There are a million casual guilds out there who will take anyone. Some of them have a subset of people who also try their hand at raids and M+ or organized PvP.
Many will happily take low geared/experienced people into said content and have fun all learning together. Granted, in most of those guilds you wont get super far, but if you’ve never done the content it’s your chance to learn.
Then if you decide you really want to step up past that, you have the baseline to do so. Generally progress is… well… a progression. It’s not one giant leap.

there really isnt a lot guild that would change their raid schedule because of a random person, what this dude i saying is that sometimes he can raid friday and other times he can only do it monday or something, he does not have a proper schedule so while he might join for 1 to 3 bosses one week or another he can’t actually commit to and neither will the guild ( nor should it btw) to raid on this schedule, so he really doesn’t have many options

Haven’t raided since BWL. Too many dickheads. I imagine m+ is even worse. Even in a good guild theres always someone’s brother or whatever. You know the one. “Why’s the undergeared priest here? This is gonna take forever now.”

The cool thing about super cas guilds, is that they don’t always require you to show up to every raid night.
Granted, if he’s actually missing weeks of game then his high-end should probably be M+. But M+ can be every bit as rewarding and difficult.
They don’t have to, he can just raid when he’s able and otherwise they’ll be going without him. Flexible raid sizes make this pretty simple to deal with.

I guess this whole discussion depends on your definition of what a PUG is. If you join a guild and irregularly play with other people for M+ content, that’s definitely something you can do.
You just gotta establish boundaries of some kind. There’s a reason people whine about “cliques” forming in guilds for M+ - some people suck at M+ and you just gotta learn how to give other people outside of it the cold shoulder and only play with the “pumpers”.

you seem pretty knowledgeable about mythic+ in general. do you have any suggestions for communities a tank/healer looking into getting into low to mid-ish keys?
Exactly why I don’t bother. I get it, but I certainly don’t like it.
