"One of the best ways to experience ESO’s hardest content is with a guild."

"- We structured the guild around the Guild Master, and the people who are in it are only people that the Guild Master knows and has played with."

    A group of guild master's friends is also a community. No one said communities have to be open to everyone.

    Ah yes, I see now, Reg.

    You're talking about the way that Guild Masters hire and pay a team of recruiters to find them some new friends, as the recruiter know what the Guild Master likes. And who they like. Guild masters like friends that can sell 50K a week.

    The guy who said that just got a world record. Honestly you're not building the best teams in the world setting up a website with applications. Most people in these sort of guilds gets to apply by word of mouth, usually they sub for a while till the guild has enough data to decide if they should have the spot or not. This is also why ZOS spoke to a more open guild master. It's important to show more perspectives than one.

    You'd think for the community Spotlight they might pick a more casual... "open to the community"... Guild?

    Or...

    Maybe...

    Include one....

    In the community....

    I was actually really disappointed they chose bleeding edge core groups to highlight the raiding community. I mean, yes, of course, the top-end groups are an important part of the community, but there are plenty of mid- and low-tier raid guilds across all servers whose perspective is completely missing from the piece.
    AD is the best looking faction. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

    I think that for this article they wanted to go with more hardcore ones, they only picked two so were limiting themselves. But I think they might have done a community spotlight on more casual and fun guilds before? Might have been a long time ago though.
    But I agree it would be quite nice to hear from the other tier raid guilds. I would nominate LND, as a guild that is open but will train everyone on the veteran trials several days a week! It's where I learned and completed all the vet trials, would love to see ZOS interview the master and some of the other leaders, they are great people! :)

    I hope it's as you say, though in that case I'm not sure why they didn't call the article "Hardcore Trial Guilds" instead of just "Trial Guilds". Not all raiding guilds are hardcore, and quite a few do not aspire to be. Their article on casual guilds was about social guilds that welcome new players, though one of them does have trials progression available. I know for a fact the devs are well aware of the variety of guilds that are out there, so quite unsure why the team in charge of the website articles chose such a narrow view of ESO's raiding community.
    AD is the best looking faction. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.
