Hello.
My partner and I have played GW2 on and off since Beta. We have several 80s but no progression in any form and we're working towards completing Path of Fire currently. We play another MMO (dont know if I can mention it) but it has short raid cycles/ content releases and we're basically vets who have been there, done that, in it. We wanted to find another game to enjoy downtime in and GW2 really fits the bill for us. My partner has started getting into pvp already, myself soon to follow. I'm all about doing anything to unlock glamour/tmogs/ however they're called here. Only problem is we are struggling to find a community where we can fit in. We really, really, don't like giant guild sizes because it feels far too impersonal and conversations are too chaotic. Our best times have been in smaller guilds where we know everyone on a personal level. As far as guild content focus, we don't mind if it's pve only even, just a good community is really all we want. I don't personally RP, my partner has done RP in the past however and we don't mind hanging out with RP people (we often end up in small guilds of RPers in other games, despite not RPing.) While we raid in our other game, we make a conscious effort to avoid the negative stereotypes that often come with that territory and only surround ourselves with the patient and level headed. We would rather have a more casual experience in GW2 since we do our hardcore stuff elsewhere (during school breaks.) We don't want to feel pressured to join schedulled events (like raids) because we can't commit to them during school semester. We're down to join for general events when we can, though.
We're in the 25+ age bracket, so a similar age group would be preffered. (That said, we are not interested in the self described degenerate groups if it means constant sexual talk and cursing.) We are PST timezone but MST/CST/EST is fine. Overall, just looking for a home that provides more than just the standard "newbie help", we'd like a bit more reason to keep coming back to the game. 🙂
If you don't mind having two end game know-nothings that ask too many questions, please let us know. We likely have a third and fourth friend on the way as well, who also hit end game in our other game and need a new progression grind.
I am on Tarnished Coast and I can't remember my partner's server, but we're likely going to move later. Don't know or care where but we want to be on the same server.
