    Not sure if it is what you were talking about, but I did notice I forgot a comma on the last option. It wasn't meant to be a double negative.
    Was meant to be "No, I don't belong to a guild." or maybe just " I do not belong to a guild."

    Anyways I can't edit poll options.

    I'm GM for a small guild that's basically just me and a bunch of my real life friends. We've got our guild bank and tabard unlocked, and we get together for dungeon runs and such every now and then.

    I also (on my second account) somehow ended up as GM of a different small guild where I seem to be the only member who still plays... I'm not quite sure how I ended up as GM of that guild, but as of right now it's basically just a personal guild bank for me, since nobody else in it has logged on in 8+ months.

    I'm in another guild that is larger and more active than the 2 small guilds I GM, and that's the guild that I most often socialize with. It's a casual cross-faction guild that runs a lot of entirely optional events, and that's full of very helpful people, and I've had a lot of fun in it since I joined a couple of months ago.

    I was referring to your spelling of trading. Looks like you had a little raiding on the mind when writing it. Just a little snicker I had, nothing more.

    To answer this thread, I am not a guild master, but I am part of the leadership of a guild. I am a division captain to the ESOTU division within a very large adult gaming community that spans across just about every game. I oversee the division's guilds, but I am not the direct guild leader.

    I am also in other guilds. One is a friend's guild, and another is a trading guild.

    I am in two social guilds, and two trading guilds, although one of them does not do that much trade, I do find some good bargains listed there. I have one other guild slot that I assign as needed.

    Lone Wolf Help has an active Guild Store, even the weeks we don't have a Kiosk.

    We have over 400 members now, so that helps. Coeus is another one with an active store. I would think most larger social guilds would be more active with the stores.

    No, this meaning -

    be a member or part of (a particular group, organization, or class).
    "they belong to garden and bridge clubs"
    synonyms: be a member of, be in, be affiliated to/with, be allied to, be associated with, be linked to, be an adherent of

    No I don't belong to a Guild.
    I'm a member of one defunct RP guild. Might as well quit, but I can't be bothered with it. Besides, the guild bank essentially gives me a great deal of storage space to utilize.

    Ergo, I belong to no guilds.

    I'm totally against the way guilds were implemented in this game, anyway. So many things depend on guild membership to be able to effectively accomplish anything in the game. (Key word is EFFECTIVELY. Sure you don't HAVE to be in a guild to do anything but if you're not in a guild...everything just got that much more difficult.)

    I'm not anti-social. Far from it. I just don't want to be forced to join a guild to be able to effectively sell stuff to other players.
    I don't want to be forced to join a guild to be able to effectively join up with people that share my interests.
    These two things are staples of MMO's in my opinion, and yet Zenimax totally botched the implementation of them up in this game.
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    Not in any guilds.

    I was in guilds during all my former MMOs though and did lead two to a top spot on tournaments, but todays generation just takes away all the fun of being in a guild. It starts with TS and ends with Addons and min / maxing, attendances to trials or even paying gold to join.

    Too often did I come back after a months break and found myself kicked or young ones shouting in TS how someone failed and they now lost out on an epic.

    Gaming companies made big mistakes in how they implemented guilds. Joining a guild should never reward you with items, trade slots, bank slots or vanity loot. It should be a voluntary thing and not a forced one. Guilds have become so hostile and unsocial as every members activity and time influences the success and rewards for all members.
    Back in the days we invited people we liked to our guilds and still won tournaments. Today you must file a long application first, then go to a interview on TS and then get a hundred rules to follow. That's just nothing for me, so I stay solo ;)

    Boy, I'm sure glad that hasn't been my experience! My most active guild is all about being social, having fun, and helping each other out. None of this min-maxing, mandatory attendance, paying to join, or yelling at people who "failed".

    In my short time in this game (since February this year), I have joined a total of 5 guilds, 3 of which I remain a member of. One is primarily crafters, and the other two are trade/social. No fees nor any really restrictive rules for any. I enjoy all three very much.

    I'd give shout outs to my three, but this thread doesn't seem to be about bragging on your guilds, so I'll just leave it at that! :)

    I love being in guilds! I have been running a EP guild while our GM was away, and it is a fun, social, and sometimes crazy guild who has "Naked Dance Mobs" in Riften if we get bored, or just see who has quest/dungeons left undone and help them.
    I have another social guild led by the wonderful MissBizz, and it is a jewel to be part of with great people. I then have two trade guilds w/ 500ppl each. I am an officer in both of those, and the GM's are amazing at managing such a large and complicated entity which is a "Trading Guild" . And yet they are always there to help anyone with anything. Three huzzahs to them! And the best thing is when you have guild mates together in multiple guilds, they all tend to feel like one big family.
    And thats what we are! To the awesome guild community, I say, Thank You! Huzzah!~
