Guild recruitment

[Amdir Ectheleon.7154]

Can anyone advise me on how to recruit? And who to recruit? As I gather, there are guilds oriented around certain activities like WvW or PvP, I don't want a player joining and then being let down because we don't specialise in an activity. We're a very new guild, with just 2 members and a hall, so there's no experience managing such a community.

I dont know if my post inspired you to also ask for help, but what I can say about recruitment is that before you start recruiting, you need to have a clear vision of what you want your guild to become. The more specific you are, the better it is. I advertise my guild very specifically as an Open World guild. While technically Open World equals PvE, i still avoid  the PvE tag. Why? Because raids and fractals also are PvE. The players that end up joining my guild very specifically expect my  guild to focus on one thing: Open World. This means that my guild ends up extremely casual, as Open World content is, generally speaking, not that difficult. And that's perfect, because that is what I envisioned for my guild. The vision is what draws them in. If you don't want a casual guild but instead a guild filled with diehard raiders, that's good too. Whatever floats your boat. However, be wary of becoming a PvX guild this early on. Not that it's not a viable concept or anything, but because you require a lot more management to make it work. You basically need a branch of management that focusses on PvE, another branch that focusses on PvP and then maybe another branch that focusses on WvW. It works for large communities. For smaller communities, you have the risk that indeed people won't have too much in common other than playing Guild Wars 2.

I certainly have questions of my own to ask to more seasoned Guild Leaders, but I tried to share my knowledge and experience so far. I hope it helps 😃

This does help a lot actually, I always thought that PvE meant open world activities 😅 almost fell head first into that one, I assume casual and laid back tags I see sort of fit that category as well 🤔
