I met wonderful people while i was in guilds, but finally nothing best like freedom. Do what i want when i want, and how i want.
I've seen a few people say this as a reason for not joining a guild and it always confuses me. I've been in a lot of guilds across several different games and never encountered one that told me how to spend my time. Many have guild events and schedule things like dungeon runs or skyshard collection runs, but it's always optional, I've never seen one tell members they have to take part.
Have I just gotten lucky that every guild I've ever joined is happy to let their members do what they want, or am I misunderstanding the implication of comments like this?
