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?

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.

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

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 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 has a multiboxer in their ranks.

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 >
