Is it really this goofy to find a guild?

No in game tools, just posting on a forum thread?

With all the freaken pay-to-play options for sale you'd think they'd have spent some time on a guild tool.

All the guilds I am in I have found in game meeting and playing with other players and getting to know them. A tool isn’t necessary but the LFG has a guild recruitment section.

Posting in a forum thread has worked fine for us.
We get to come in here and lie outrageously about how amazing our guilds are and why you should totally join us because we're awesome.  And you get to tell us all about your amazing DPS and incredible skills 🤣

And just to prove the point, here's our blurb....

[na] [18+] Shrieking Quokkas has been around for a year and a half and thankfully we don't have any long term cliques and so far no overinflated egos (we do try to keep the toxic diehard types to a minimum). We don't have any big joining requirements, no forms to fill out or interviews to sit, just jump into Discord and have a chat, see what you think of us and let us know you want an invite. Any of our members can send guild invites so you don't have to wait for the obligatory 'officer' to be online.
Guild activity is similar. it's best to get to know people first but once you are known it's not hard to have others jump on something you want to run. There's a decent mix of interest in game we're running both experienced and training Fractals, Strikes, and Dungeons. Not to mention Guild Missions and general Idiocy.  Anything you want to do just give a shout and people are likely to jump on board for the fun of it, we're very easygoing and more than happy to tag along on what you're doing in order to procrastinate on what we should be (coughskyscalecough).

Timezones are split between SEA and US times, a lot of voice happens in US daytimes. We'd really love to see Aussie evenings get busier, more people equals more fun right? Besides the founders/Guild Leaders are in Oz and we adore company
It's not mandatory except for guild activities but we'd like to see voice get busier because it's a great space to toss ideas about, even for guild events you don't need to speak, only be able to hear whoever is running things for instructions. We don't insist on repping either, again except for Guild group activities, it's really your choice though it's great when people do so we can drop in on the yellow dots on the map and say hi.
We like to help and brainstorm ideas but we don't mind if you take or leave our advice, you'll likely get 3 different opinions anyway and it's always interesting to see what works for each person. We have found everyone plays the game their own way, we even have an insane group of people who like PvP and WvW.

As for why Quokkas? ........... well drop into our Discord and we'll tell you all about them
(that and I"m terrible at checking the forums and that's the best way to contact us)
