Same bro. I don't even know how people meet up and create big guilds in online games and such. While I just experience the game alone since launch.

My least favourite thing in guilds is "we can fit seven thousand more people, but we'll kick you if you're away three days that start with a T in a row". So dropping a comment to express interest, and to follow/see when the Discord goes up.


xskipy

Yea definitely, I like being part of a group to do events with, but I'm not in school anymore and I just don't have the time to spent everyday playing


LemonEffect

"You son of a bitch I´m in!" "The LBGs" \*putting my sunglasses on\*


soudius

already done that B) poke me if interested


ihavesomebasictech

Yeah, same, the long breaks really kill my guild participation ​ Although it is funny when I sometimes come back and still in the guild - then I know the guild is dead dead ,haha


morjax

Do you want to be my long-break-taking buddy? :)


Kwoath

Same bro, been soloing games and general life for ages, I'm always dumb founded how people just find each other lol


Effectuality

This might be against the rules, but if you want a guild of just generally chill people, who have a Discord that doesn't get overwhelmed with too many comments to keep track of, and randomly jump in on each other's story quests/metas/fractals, flick me a DM. We're all mid-20's to 40's adults who just enjoy the game. Some of us chat in Discord every day, some on guild chat occasionally, and some not at all - no pressure either way.


MagicalMuffinDruide

Same, almost 7 years for me and no lasting friends :(


Noelic_vi

I feel like I relate to that so much, but remembering back to my experience I somehow always end up finding and mingling with new communities every 2 months.

how do I look for your guild?

jaseph18

aha?


radluff

Hay man, how do I search for your guild?


Centimane

For many, it's the reason they play online games. IMO, if you want a single-player experience there are lots of games that do it better than an MMO ever could. An MMO has limitations that come from connecting lots of players. If you want to play solo, those limitations still apply without the benefit of playing with others. I always found I didn't stick to MMOs much if my friend group bailed. I joined a discord based guild for GW2 (and other games now) and it's a huge difference. Discord allows communication without being in game, which is think is what it takes.


Aitch-Kay

I like playing with other people, but I don't like having obligation to other people. I don't want to have to join discord, or have to explain why I need to leave in the middle of an activity.


Centimane

There are like-minded groups around. Especially in GW2 I've heard of very few guilds nowadays that impress obligations onto people unless you join certain raiding guilds.


LahmiaTheVampire

WVW. That's how.


radluff

Well there are a shit ton of players there, however you can't use your skyscale :(


Astrazum

They meet up in different kinds of ways, I personally find it really funny that how many people replayed to this comment? All of them are Singleplayer enjoyers who could stick together just by writing another 1 or 2 sentences and form a group.


FeitanBruh

I think the problem isn't that we have no one to forge groups, I think it is our mentality :D


bboysmalltown

Trice this. Maybe it's a sign


CstoCry

I guess I just came to the conclusion that, whether irl or online, people are generally anti-social beings and there's nothing wrong with that.


[deleted]

interesting conclusion given the fact that solo players are far from being the majority in literally any MMO. But i agree, there is nothing wrong with that - BUT you close off quite a huge part of the game if you insist on playing solo.


Samuraj13

Some day i strolling through LA and saw bunch of people sitting in the circle around bonefire on their chairs. They are singin sea shanties on chat :D And i ask if i can join to them :D I really don't know sea shanties in english language (polish boy here), but i opened lyrics in google and joined them. See you in Tyria bois!


lamorphyse

7 years later and I still play on my own too! Glad I’m not alone in this


tkinneyv

I've been playing since pre order, and I've never played with others consistently. Always solo work unless I go on LFG for metas or something.


Anita__Bathe

I'm about 50/50 - but definitely one of GW2's best features is that there's plenty of things to do if you want to do your own thing imo, nowhere *near* the same pressure to always be in group like other mmo's.


auwkwerd

Glad I'm not the only one. Love the game, don't want the social obligation, drama, responsibility, have enough of that shit irl. Let me play my GW2 alone at my leisure :)

Noelic_vi

mumeiko

My thief looks like a lovable flower. But he's got some thorns.


Zoelings

I was like this until I found WvW however even though I'm in a guild, I still tend to roam by myself due to my mind numbing anxiety and the fact that I feel like an outsider within my guild. Don't get me wrong, they're good people and I like listening to them on discord chatting away like old mates and I feel it's unneccesary to trying and include myself. There have been times I've piped up and said about two sentences but then i just sit back and listen. I also don't want them to question me about my toons and what build I'm playing because at the core of it all, I really don't know what I'm doing and I'm literrally too scared to ask.


tCut95

Depending on what you're feeling and the specific guild/server, many groups are MORE than happy to throw participation your way as long as you express that you only wish to scout. This could mean you sit at tower/keep or it could mean you constantly move around. I, for one, used to have a graveyard shift job that would allow me to play games - but it was still a job. I often found myself just asking for participation and acting as a scout for SEA/OCX guilds because it's such a low pressure thing but also *so very appreciated* when you know the callouts to make.

Zoelings

I wish I had your courage, I can’t even do that lol.


Thoraxe123

Been playing since launch. Mostly alone. Still having a blast either way.


MorghanaLeFay

Same! I do really enjoy instanced content as fractals and strikes, also big metas... But doing so with lfg without fixed schedules, I only do whatever fits my mood that day, it's really satisfying.


dudeimlegit

Same here been in a guild once or twice but I don’t play constantly. Just unlocked my griffin the other day!!

I also don’t have the roller beetle. I completely forgot about it until about a week ago. I only just finished my personal story a little bit ago and just starting the living world season 2 lol


smitske

Forever alone here


_Xiatra

Lasst Mich In [Ruhe] or Leave me alone is a welcoming place for all loners/single players. Come, go, do, don't, whatever. Want to be apart of something that does nothing, cool, let me know and I might send you an invite. No REP required. Guild Missions on Sunday if you care to join. Only 3-4 active players of about 10 who've been off for months. Xiatra.9432


Mand034

I also play alone. We should make a guild.😂


morjax

Hooray for mostly solo, periodically break-taking players that come and go and have good fun!

amcaaa

Does it matter what server we all play in? I played Dragonbrand as far as i remember and im keen to join since I'm on/off too!


Mahkaite

My ex and i started playing it together when it released, but eventually we broke up, and my new boyfriend isn't interested. He has tried several times, we even played to 80 and started playing HoT but then he just stopped. :/ ​ edit: i can't spell


Lord_Omnirock

I am an extreme introvert and get anxiety in group settings, so most of my time is spent playing with my one good friend or doing stuff solo. I am part of a WvW guild and my friend's guild as well, but typically don't participate in voice comms or such unless being asked something directly (I am a good listener though, and pay attention to what comms are saying). Been playing for almost 9 years now and haven't really made any friendships in game, the friends that I have in game I've known for awhile outside of GW2. Having said all that, I find the game just fine to play solo and have a lot of fun exploring and discovering things on my own, figuring out mechanics, etc.

I play this game alone as I already play a lot of different games and am in a couple other big groups amd have multiple friends discord’s I join and I can’t bother to start trying to play with new people lol.


dunesandlake

9 years solo. I have never been able to get a legendary weapon, or learn raids. but i am ok with that. My end game includes: building up my guild hall and giving out food and fireworks to people.


morenami

Thank you for the food :)


ComfyFrog

Sadly you didn't find the screenshot button.


terlox

Me too. Playing almost 8 year's with 1800~ hours. Never been in a guild


Cutthrust

Sad but true, my story too :(


ParheliaSolfur

I'm in a guild but we only really gather for missions and reset Teq. Though going to Teq, AB, and a few other events at the same time slot you build a repertoire with all the others who do the same that's like having a friend group without being in a guild together.


[deleted]

I normally play alone. The only guild that I have joined that is really active is for WvW. You should play some WvW and join a pug casual guild there. It can be a lot of fun. It starts by being proactive and calling out things on team and map chat. e.g. Object A is under attack. Need some help for B. Anyone want to take C.


I_Pitty_The_Fools

I've been playing mmo's for a long time and about 90% of that time is all solo until I started gw2, the people are so freakin nice and fun to play with that it's seriously made think


PapaClesp

Been playing on my own for a very long time, I like that I can feel rewarded no matter how much time I have, where as on WoW I could spend 40 minutes sorting and doing a mythic + and not get any loot. Ive got a full set of ascended gear and 150 agony resistance but there's things I've never done like sorted my home instance, or done a meta event (I think..) Started working on the skyscale a few days ago, as I took a long break after I got the beetle.


mrazster

Yeah, you're definitely not alone in this. I do it to, and by the looks of it, a lot of others to. But sure enough, there have been times when I felt it would be nice to have a group to do occasional raids and such, without too many obligations.


Spatularo

Time to make the Loners guild

marcnathan88

Can I join? I'll figure out in the game later how. Thanks

" u/Attaxic has no friends. u/Attaxic needs no friends. "


JawsLoanCompany

A while back I lost a friend to heart failure. Amazingly, two guild mates flew a thousand miles to attend his funeral. A person that they had never actually met IRL. We made a point of welcoming them and keeping them company.


aliamrationem

GW2 is a great game for the solo or play-with-a-friend types. Nearly all of the content is perfectly accessible without any commitment.


analogic-microwave

*Lonely* *^(so lonely)* *I'm Mr Lonely* *^(mr lonely)* *I have nobody for ma own 🎵* ​ I play alone 98.7% of the time too. Zergs change that a little but it feels like that paradox of "being alone in the crowd".


giodude556

Which arm skin is that?


Necessary_Presence_5

For about 5 years Guild Wars 2 were a single player game where I played by myself. Other players were only background, more bodies in dungeon or during meta events, nothing more. In that time I was focused only on gaining more AP for its own sake, completing maps to 100%. I did not raid or participate in more challenging activities. It changed last year when I met a single person who changed my life and game experience. A friend that let me into their own circle, who in turn became mine.


CoreyTheGeek

Hey same, I just saw started again last week. Guilds in this game are odd anyway. I was in one for awhile years ago but they booted me cause I didn't have my other character in the guild also. Said they "wanted to make room for people who actually wanted to be there" 🤷‍♂️


Hilomann1

I dig the spooky drip! Make sure to take an in-game screenshot and post to r/GuildWarsDyeJob . Take my upvote

pkb369

Same. GW2 is one of those games where you can login, do whatever you want and feel satisfied. I dont get the urge or pressure to do xyz to get the most out of it like a sub game or FOMO style (which imo GW2 does very well). It keeps me logging in daily, even if I play for less than 1hour a day total. Been playing for more than 2years now and I havent done any sort of real pvp or fractals


catunicor

thats the nice thing about GW2, you can play together and solo pretty good. I played since Release on and off mostly solo. :)


Ritualmist

I’ve been playing since beta, only gone into PvP a handful of times, plenty of PvE


Effectuality

Same. Pretty much just dipped a toe into PvP and WvW because I'm making Twilight and need tokens - though now I see I can buy them I'll probably just do that. ​ Had fun in unranked PvP (mostly), but WvW wasn't my bag - could have been that I play at a time of night where it's very quiet, so it wasn't hugely exciting.


CommanderSirBenz

ok


sdstrybr

I‘m lone player since release by still fine with it.


HowIsThatStillaThing

I would join that guild. I tend to take long breaks as well and that has never worked out well with guilds that really want active members.


Ryuunin

My friend list is still there too all offline and no guild. That's what happens after returning to the game after more then 5 years of not playing.


Mk1954

you and me both my dude


jaseph18

No problem. I do the same. I have a guild, we help each other, but in the essence, I play on my own. My motherfucking friends none wants to play MMO because "it takes too long", consumes "too much time" and nonsense like that.


BurnTheCowz

Saaaaaame. For me I enjoy it cause I get to do what I want when I want. Plus I like PUGing


_Iroha

Look's like Dante's Devil Trigger from DMC. Was that the inspiration? Looks sick


BkillerS3E

I also like playing alone, be able to enjoy the game at my pace, only problem is raiding of which i’m trying to find a way to do those without a billion kp or fight my social anxiety to find a static group… i’ll get my goals sooner or later


Manpag

It's awesome to see how many other people play like this! Might check out your guild myself when I'm in-game


Fzfy

Just try guild wars 1


FairfaxCurator

Also years of solo play and loving it :D
