Why do most if you exist (serious, not a diss)

[Danth]

I can think of a couple nearly identical guilds that don't merge simply because they don't care for each other's names. In some other cases I can think of smaller guilds that are already doing what they want to do; remember that not all players have dreams of--or even care about--high end stuff like Temple of Veeshan. In short, people play the game how they want, and create guilds for whatever reasons they wish.

Not sure why this was posted to the Rants forum; doesn't seem like a rant to me.

There are many different ways to play EQ. Some folks chase high end, some folks just want people to talk to as they prefer soloing, others just for close casual friends, and some others just play EC as the game they enjoy.

I may get made fun of for this, but I miss RP guilds. I enjoyed writing and miss being part of one on live. I'd make an alt for one if there was one in a minute. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's the peril of RP guilds, everyone has alts that never log in. Can be a silent death.

Why don't you just list a few guilds that you think are pointless? I think the reason they exist will become apparent.

For example, Taken is a large casual friendly guild that goes after the raid content they can feasibly get. BDA dkoes kind of the same thing...but I'm guessing that Taken would be quite insulted to labeled the same as BDA.

I don't know why you keep saying about pixels, I totally get why you wouldn't care, which is why I said people should join any guild that doesn't require mandatory raiding, then they can sit back and NOT acquire pixels if that's what they like doing.

It just seems like people intentionally limit their options.

Personally I would have liked it if Taken had absorbed other guilds that 'did the same thing'

It seems extra silly when you get raid alliances of like 3 guilds.... Just be one guild that doesn't need to ally and have difficulty coordinating...

Guild names are fun when you first come across them but I can't imagine it makes up for a dead guild chat.

The more the merrier!

Anyway, thanks for the replies that weren't "we don't care about pixels faggot" from people who didn't read/understand my OP I was legitimately asking. I just left my guild where I was getting drip fed loot eventually (which was still more then I could ever get myself or in a scrub guild) So it's obviously not the case that I'm in it for the pixels. Although pixels are nice sometimes.

There can be issues of sorting out dkp if you merge, seems like that would be a pain

Breaking news, not everyone obsesses over pixels.

[TMO so immersed]

Most people in these guilds are just waiting for Dottedup to offer them a premium pixel package

I'm gonna miss that Geordie accent in mumble

If you have very very low pixel aspirations and enjoy long lines (and in some cases stroking people's tiny epeens for loot council pixels) then one of these 2 would be perfect. Just be prepared to not be noticed when saying hello in guild chat. It's probably like peak time EC spam [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
