[Woodland Guardian.9320]

About Us

Wanderers’ Haven is a relatively small UK-based guild, formed in late 2020 with the primary aim of creating a safe and friendly space for LGBTQ+ players to come together, socialise and take part in group activities.

Our current members are welcoming, helpful and enthusiastic, and we are looking for more members interested in high level content such as T4 Fractals and weekly Strikes/Raids.

 

How to Join

Our recruitment is currently paused whilst we restructure, but we will be back.

I am at least partially interested in this guild, however the rules feel like it's more of a cult than a friendly place to meet players.

 

You have to be on at least once a week and no more than 100% representation is expected.

 

Even having to mention these rules puts pressure on members. While I do not expect to be a part of another guild, this being pointed out makes it feel like the Guild does not fully trust its members, or has a particular penchant for losing its members to other guilds. Likewise, I want to feel free to go and do something else for a couple of weeks. Like a holiday or play another game. I feel a bit pressured into committing to at least once a week. 

 

Reading those rules makes it sound a bit militant and leans towards booting out people that are probably a bit more involved with real life and just want a friendly place to chat. 

 

If the above mentioned 'once a week' rule is a bit more relaxed, I would consider joining, however I cannot commit to being on once a week. I have other social commitments and do not want to feel pressured into any regular gameplay slot. I do not want to be forced into playing any game. Lest it become a chore.

Hi @Sai Edge.9306, your post threw me a little, as I never quite expected to see the two extremes of "friendly place to meet players" and "cult" in the same sentence, but I will try to answer the core line of your message.

You have to be on at least once a week and no more than 100% representation is expected.

As said in our how-to-join/rules "This is a community centred round an online multiplayer game; therefore, player engagement is important". The WAHA guild was built for its community, and it is only through the players actively interacting with it that it works. 

 

In terms of activity, what we ask is that new potential guild members aim to join for at least 1 event per week (more if possible). If they seriously want to join a guild, then interacting with the guild by playing with its members simply makes sense. But also, that is an aim. Life can get in the way and interest in a game can wane. All of these things are totally understandable, as long as when the player is actively playing GW2 they want to actually play with the guild they are part of. Otherwise, why join a guild in the first place.

 

In terms of representation, it follows the same above reasoning. We want our members to understand that they are part of a community. By setting your representation to the guild whilst online, you give the message to others in the guild that you are playing alongside them for community, that you might actively engage in the in-game guild chat, and that you want to be part of the guild. Conversely, guild members seeing others in the guild online but not representing can give the message that they want to play the game, but not with them. For a guild built specifically for content types (raids, CM fractals, etc.) this might be okay, but this is not conducive for a guild based on community.

 

If the above is incompatible with the type experience you expect from being in a guild, that's okay too as no one is forced to join us, so I wish you the best of luck.
