I make this post in response to the thread I started yesterday about ignoring selfish players in group content where many responded by encouraging me to look for a guild that suits my play.

First, I want to admit I have no idea how to manage being in five different guilds simultaneously. That is just bonkers to me. Neat idea but way beyond my ability. I only know how to be loyal to one guild at a time and expect to be in only one guild at a time. If the guild does not suit me I will leave it for another or just be solo.

Second, the guild I have been in since December(?) is pretty darn good although not quite where I think I belong. They seem to have greater access to the game than I do either through ESO Plus or the purchase of additional content and they are clearly more hardcore than me as they focus on Vets, Trials and other activities that are currently beyond any of my characters abilities. I know this because they have carried me through a few of these more advanced group activities so that I could see what they were about and my deaths were numerous while they had none. This is perfectly okay with me as my hardcore days are long behind me. I prefer the slower pace of being a casual and not hindering the fun and playtime of others. And since this guild has been good to me I expect to break my "one guild rule" but only for them by remaining a member for the foreseeable future. But they insist on using voice chat to play with them which brings me to my next item.

Third, I no longer use any voice chat in any online game I play. There are two main reasons for this, one being the crippling headaches I get when I have used voice chat software and the other being that I no longer have any patience for the constant non-game chatter and nonsense that other players like to engage in. I know that this will exclude me from consideration for many guilds as they have come to rely on a third party service called Discord. It seems the good old days of playing MMOs without voice chat are long gone as none of the younger players know how to play that way. That's okay for me, too.

Fourth and etcetera, I do not have the ability to follow a set schedule and tend to only play whenever I have a moment. I usually don't have a lot of time to play when I am on and frequently need to logoff abruptly to tend to real life considerations which of course are more important than any video game. I mostly just try to get my daily dungeon if I can (see other thread mentioned above) and then logoff whether I get my dungeon done or not.

So, you might be wondering what I am looking for in a potential guild since I offer so little in return. Mostly help questing as needed (which I need right now since I started Craiglorn zone last week and no one has been willing to help the few times I have asked in zone chat when I had 30 minutes or so to focus on those quests. This is not a complaint, at least not toward any players. It is a bit of a complaint toward the person(s) that designed an entire zone around group quests. Group quests are nothing new to me but an entire zone of them is. And an additional complaint might be the limit of only being allowed to have a total of 25 quests at one time. The last MMO I played before coming to ESO was Rift which allows you to have up to 75 quests at once and numerous other features not present in ESO. Rift was a great game that I played hardcore from launch in 2011 until it went free to play in 2013 and the sporadically after that. So, my MMO mindset is still firmly thinking like I learned to think in Rift with the numerous freedoms that game offered. It's tough adjusting to all the limitations of ESO but I am adjusting.

I am thinking of picking up the Sommerset content at some point as I have been told it will unlock Jewelcrafting and other basic features that everyone I talked to ingame says should not be locked behind the paywall. I am in no hurry as I have not yet exhausted all the content I currently have access to.

If I seem like someone you wouldn't mind having in your guild please let me know. I play only on North America server when I do play. Oh yeah. And I don't do this "dues" guild thing I've seen advertised. Someone explained it to me once and knew it wasn't for me. I wish them well but have no interest in being part of it. And if I don't seem like someone you'd like to have in your guild please say nothing. Exercise a little discretion and do not post any response to this post.

Thank you for your consideration.
