Other than equipment and material purchases, is there any other benefit to joining one? I get invites and am not sure what the point would be.

Thanks.
Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

    Your guilds must be sad then... :( Not trying to be mean, just making an assumption since you claim you only get grouping opportunities. Are you just in trade guilds? Then I could see that being the case.

    My guild has Social Interaction, Friendship, Fun and Laughter for sure...

    It also has drama and conflict, but that is the price you pay for social interaction.

    Also, my comment is specific to social guilds; not trade guilds...I'm not part of any trade guilds yet, but I'd imagine they have quite a different environment...

    lol
    Okay, since my experience is on consoles, where is the social interaction there without mics? If no mic where is the laughter but to yourself? Right now I find it way easier to transverse the game as a solo experience then with others.

    Is there a separate channel for talking within a guild?

    There are usually conversations going on in the guild chat of my main guild. Sometimes it's people looking for folks to group with, sometimes it's people looking for help with crafting, sometimes it's people looking for advice on various aspects of the game, sometimes it's welcoming new member or welcoming back people who have been gone for a while, sometimes it's just generally chatting and joking around. And all of that is with text... Sure, we sometimes hop on Teamspeak for actual voice communication (especially for actual guild events), but being able to hear someone is by no means necessary for social interaction online.

    Ah, I misread the person i was replying to. I thought that @Zusia211 was saying that there can't be social interaction on PC because there's no voice chat. In fact, it was the opposite - he (she?) was talking about how there can't be social interaction on console if you don't have a mic. OK, my bad. Clearly I read through that post too quickly.
