Do you join a "real" guild on your teams?

[katsurahama]

By real i mean not a bank alt guild. One with other people in it.

When i came back to wow and saw people spamming in trade about guilds i would sometimes send the person a whisper if they had mount speed or xp bonus. I never even bothered until those bonuses came out. At first i said something like Hi i saw your guild ad can i get five invites for a,b,c,d,e? Or id send five separate tells a few seconds apart. Either id get completely ignored or theyd say something smartass like OMG BASEMENT TROLL LOZER! or REPORTED!!!11!

Now what i do is get my tank into a guild and then gradually have the other four ask for invites, preferably from different guild officers, over a period of a day or two. Sometimes that isnt obvious unless their names are very similar. This way, by the time people figure it out from seeing A B C D E has logged in. Or A B C D E has completed Blood Furnace! they dont care and are fine with it.

The path ive taken is to join a different guild on every team so i can find one or two i like by the time i reach 85. I cannot raid so i have no plans to join an end game raiding guild but i would like to get into one that does premades or sychronized queuing (if people even still do that).

AFAIK im the only boxer on alliance side on mymedium pop server. At least i never see anyone else in the JambaTeamIsOnline channel. There is no multiboxing guild.

So my questions are, if youre not in a multiboxing guild, do you bother to join a guild?

And if you are in a guild of other people youve never met IRL, how were you received and did you get your toons in all at once or one at a time?

Finally, do you have different teams in different guilds or get them all into one guild?

[Ualaa]

Other people in it...
Haven't done that in a while.

I do have my toons, scattered across several guilds.
Two guilds horde-side on my server.
And seven guilds alliance-side.

But since my raiding guild fell apart, back when Ulduar was the highest raid content..
Have not been in another guild with other people in it.

[Zal]

I actually opened my guild to other players. So i now have one of the biggest guilds on my server and the guild is also lv 16.

[ebony]

i rerolled and joined a muliboxing guild (gimp-eu) and wow its so nice to be in :D

my raiding guild fell about at the end of WOTLK so i took the move and rerolled

I had my mixs of guilds over the years some random and some bank alts i just asked before i got the inv :D a lot say yes for the exta xp a day if there not capping it out.

[Bollwerk]

I have been in a "casual" raiding guild since before I started boxing. It was funny to see their reactions when I started boxing, but I never had to deal with anyone being assholes at least, since they knew me already.

[Ualaa]

Ditto, for me Bollwerk.
I had been in the guild for about a year or so, with two accounts on two PC's (no boxing software/hardware).

Then started to box.
Added a third account, and Keyclone.
Then a couple of days later, added two more accounts.

Had a few moments of everyone broadcasting into /guild.
But you learn to not do that, pretty quickly.

[ashlor]

Yeah Bollwerk has that one nailed on the head for me as well, I was in a more progression based environment and They all sort of laughed at me when my first team hit 60. But as the guild started falling apart and raiding became more a chore and not really fun I tended to move towards boxing my playtime vs raiding with them. until the raiding was not an option in my opinion as it just wasn't fun any more. I do still think about going back to that sort of play style but I really just don't want that drama llama or having to rework my schedule in order to do it.

[zenga]

Even one of the 3 most progressed guilds in the world (http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/guild/tarren-mill/ensidia/roster?view=&name=caleb&minLvl=1&maxLvl=85&race=&class=&rank=) has a multiboxer in their ranks.

[Negativ1337]

I do :)

I'm in Cyber Athletes, its a PvP guild with around 60 active players that are playing above 2200 rating. Really nice to profit from good healers and rated BGs >:D

+1 for the pro healers indeed. Allthough I'm not guilded with them.

I'm in Gimp eu ofcourse.

Pve team on Aggramar is in a dutch guild, I've been in for years now.

Why don't you just start your own guild to rank up? It isn't that hard to gain rank as a multiboxer, especially with several teams at 85. Rank 14 now...

[stewbaby72]

I have my own guild but my most active toons are in another guild with a real life friends and they knows I MB, which is cool, but when one of my low level team were doing some dungeons for achievement, I got a lot lot of congratz, but I replied with all toons at once in guild chat, which some people where like WTF:eek:, then my friend came along and had to explain but it was all good after that

[sparvath]

i love being part of a "normal" guild. i do dailies and maybe an instance alone. we got a good guildchat and people seem ok with me boxing. >

Sometimes I help with hard quests and other times I just log in 1 or 2 characters and go instancing with the others. That is one of tthe reasons I got a team made up of 5 different classes.

No I wouldnt miss the social aspect in WoW. Its whats keep me playing

[Fef]

I have my own guild with a couple of (single-boxing) real life friends. I don't ever want to have to stand the constrains and constant drama a regular guild stands for. Even if this means I never the more than heroic 5-man content. I find 6 months a year to be a good rhythm to take breaks from WoW anyway.

[Jeremiah]

I've been playing WoW for about four years now and 3 years and 9 months of that time was spent playing a single character (or account). As such, I rose to officer rank in my guild. Unfortunately, we were the top alliance guild for PvE on our server and had a huge rift mid-LK and reformed some time later as a PvP guild.

Enter me as officer. :)

Most guilds will be fine with multiboxing if you are CONTRIBUTING. For instance, I often lead BGs, as I've had a lot of experience with QQ premades etc.

If you are helping others in a guild and aren't being a smegpot and just running 10 mans where you take 5 spots up, most people are fine with it.

Atm, mine is a level 17 guild..but I don't really see why that's important. Although some of the guild perks are useful in all circumstances, most of them are PvE endgame related (flask master, mass res etc, no mount speed increase in BGs etc)

Just find yourself a nice level five guild :) Mount speed and 10% bonus xp is all you need :)

[Jeremiah]

Best thing you can do as well, is request that your 4 slaves get demoted to a rank where they can't talk....

Can't tell you how annoyed others get (and how embarassed I feel) when I see a good chance to burn someone on guild chat, /g and get

Defining says: Lol pwn3d
Defyning says: Lol pwn3d
Definying says: Lol pwn3d
Deafening says: Lol pwn3d
Deåfening says: Lol pwn3d

People WILL boot you if you keep doing that lol

If people in a guild do that to you, then the guild probably isn't worth joining. One of my guild members said when I log on it sounds like a machine gun :)

[Atrocious]

I'm in a real guild with my main character, but this is a guild of mostly RL friends and friends of friends, and everyone know I multibox. Altho one keeps forgetting and wonder who those non-guilded chars that I hang with are. I usually drag my multibox toons with me when we are lacking one or two for an instance or if we do a raid. Hopefully once everyone get geared I can use my other toons to fill the 1-3 slots we are missing for 10 man raid content. Most view it as a perk as if someone is late for something I can just bring in a toon or two to fill the slots until the missing people are present.

My alts are all in their own guild. I do get some questions, but that is mostly because of the guild name. :)

[dancook]

The first guild I joined went nowhere, the guild leader was offline for several weeks so I up and left.

Found another guild advertising, got my main invited then asked to invite my alt's - which as long as they were active it was fine. So I explained :) and they were fine.

I got a whole bunch of dungeon/heroic achievements as I levelled up. I also helped fill spots in older raids for guild achievements whilst contributing DPS. Generally just had pala tank leading four shaman around and standing with them as they fired.

Other raids I have taken just, my now 85, pala tank. But I don't get drawn into 'every' old raid, other guild members 'think' they are getting raid experience. When a few level 85s are really just making short work of it.


Guild is just about to turn level 14.

I agree with a single toon in a "real guild" just if nothing else to get world pvp, call to arms requests, etc. The others accounts sit in a personal guild shared with another boxer. currently guild rank 7 :P Can't say that the deposits from kills are really that substancial when compared to what you can do on the ah. like maybe 200-500g in the time I can make about 2k gold from the ah toon.

It was really annoying though before we hit the mount speed buff and the "real" guild had that. Otherwise, its all good imo.

I don't buy into the whole "your (whole) team needs to contribute to the guild..." montra to stay in a guild. I never get into any real conflict to warrent needing five seperate accounts to respond with my answer either :P the only real comment I get is "I saw a green beam and though that there was some serious pvp going on, but it turned out to just be our boxer..." quickly followed by anouther person stating, that "its never just him, he always brings his alts along.."

Now that I'm back on Alliance, my toons are with the guild that I've been associated with for 11 years now (a guild still around from the original Starcraft days...). Though they are currently small as many of the overall guild members play games other than WoW now, it's still nice to hang out with the same gaming buddies you've known for so long.

[Apps]

Ive been playing since 2004. My main toons (Single boxed) are widely known. (Not a Troll). So the guild I am in now, are mainly people I have associated with for years. When I started boxing, several of them were very interested. A few who dont know me, call me a cheat, or a hax... eh. With the clones in the guild too, (right now a level 18 guild), and leveling withough RAF, I was friendly quick. Enjoying all the guild perks is nice.

Although, I often wonder if the RAF benifit would be better... dunno.
