With the way people play World of Warcraft today, Guilds have sort of become marginalized and this makes me a little sad.
You can essentially boost a character to end-game and gear up quickly with catch-up mechanisms and essentially complete all the content without ever really engaging with the other people that play.
I get it. I understand that not everyone has the scheduled play time. Not everyone can commit to a group of people all over the country and try to organize something larger than the temporary affiliations that the premade finder or raid finder can provide. And, of course, not everyone has the social temperament to play with others.
But, I seriously feel as if I could never really enjoy this game that way. Part of what makes me stick to this game as long as I have is not the game play at all, but all the people I have met and get to play it with. If not for the people, I'd have left long ago.
If you are new to WoW, or if you haven't been guilded for a while, perhaps it's time to give a go.
If you have and had a bad experience, do your homework and try again. Don't just accept the first guild that you see advertising but ask other members in that guild what it's like first. Talk to the recruiter and find out what it takes to get involved and what the guidelines will be required.
You may find that guild just for you. You may not. But you'll be missing something if you don't try.
