=To Guild or Not to Guild?= Hello everyone!

I have been playing Guild Wars for about 2 months now, and have been doing it almost exclusively PVE (Prophecies campaign). I have reached level 20 now, though I am still less than 1/2 thru the campaign. I am looking for some advice from the community:


 * What are the benefits (if any) for joining a guild if you are primarily PVE?
 * I see people asking for someone to join their guild all the time. Is there anyway to see how active, how big, etc a guild is without actually joining it first?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks! Ahsen74 10:23, 15 August 2007 (CDT)


 * If you're only half way through Prophecies you may not have discovered the difficulties with finding good groups for missions and quests yet. You will soon.  Joining a PvE guild can mean having a group of guildmates to help you out whenever you get into trouble as well as a great social network that you will soon (if you find a good guild of like-minded people) wonder how you ever enjoyed the game without them!  GuildWars has a number of end-game content (Fissure or Woe, Underworld and Sorrow's Furnace for Prophecies, not to mention what Factions, NF & GW:EN all have) that is 1000000x easier to get through when you have a coordinated group that you can count on, instead of the impatient & unknowledged PUGs you will often find when you post a "lfg" message.


 * Technically, no, there's no way to see this information without joining a guild. You can, of course, always ask.  A wonderful indicator of how active a guild is, how many members it has, maturity level, etc., is to visit their webpage/forums if they have one.  You can learn a thousand things about the guild just by viewing whatever information they've made available to the public.  Of course if their page looks very blank, chances are it's filled with member's only content.


 * If you're looking for a guild, or want to learn more about the benefits of joining one, feel free to send me a message any time (Goddess Wills in game), or check out GuildCafe.com a great site for gamers of all kinds. -...because the Goddess wills it so.

Drop Rate
Just because you've been doing such an awesome job sorting out the Drop Rate HM & NM tables (and because I know I'll screw it up if I try), do you think you could fix up the newly added page for the Dragon Lilly on Shing Jea? Thanks bunches! -...because the Goddess wills it so.
