That person just sounds so hurt.
GAFGuild is just the best thing ever.
Gotta agree. GAFGuild has augmented my GW2 experience nicely.

Well, the video itself leaves little doubt about it.
(it's also more hilarious because of the fact it follows some of the then-current myths and preconceptions about Onyxia).
I'm tempted to dig out that story now...

NSFW, but another video of their "guild"
He makes Gunnery Sergeant Hartman look like a nice and kind fellow. Sadly I can't find the Kotaku story on his guild. Name is Dives and the guild is named Wipe Club.

When I played competitive FPS the clan I was in tried to do that process. It doesn't work. I have since learned that if there is an application to fill out then the idea of playing a game is probably lost on that group of people.

I simply can't imagine GW2 without GAFGuild. For me, the GW2 experience IS GAFGuild.

That will never happen.
ANET never improves things just breaks things.
It's unfortunately such common language in gaming that I think a lot of people forget it's a 'thing', though GAF has conditioned me to notice it. When I've had to warn people about it, it's not even really a warning; it's "Hey, try not to use that kind of language", and they've immediately said "Oh damn, it just slipped out, sorry".
People slip up. I've had to tell my own brothers to tone it down, they tend to take jabs at eachother in Mumble and it invariably turns to comments on eachothers' sexuality and implied nocturnal activities.
I didn't even know we had a policy about that. I should give it a read as I'm somewhat foul mouther myself at times.
Eh, our rules are pretty lax, honestly, since we took them from GAF. No hate speech, no trolling, no drama. Everyone is expected to be over 13 and behave as such.
Honestly, the policy was just something we wrote up because when we DID have to ban someone, they immediately went to the "Well, you never said I couldn't..." well and he did have a point. But everyone felt strongly enough about it that we didn't let him back in. Wasn't even a GAFer, I believe, and we had a ton of complaints about it, so... yeah.
Wow, that was a thing in a GAFGuild group? In GW2 of all games?
It happened once, I can't even remember who it involved. We talked to the people who did it and they understood why it was an issue.
Really, honestly guys, GAFGuild is well-behaved and all of the leadership stuff is so much easier to deal with than any MMO I've played. We may not have a lot of in-game tools, but the need for those tools is pretty thin as well.
Sadly, it's a very low priority for them.
There was a good post on reddit a few days ago about things that are necessary for guild management, and it really is baffling they're not in the game yet. Things like a calendar, guild info separate from the MOTD, automated guild MOTD ping when you log in, last online. A calendar would be especially useful for guild run events and guild missions.

I can give you a hint: Very, very boring.

I wouldn't be playing any more if it wasn't for the guild, and I'm not even terribly active. It'd just be so boring.
I would definitely have less fun without the guild, but I'm not sure I'd think the game is totally boring. There are a lot of thing I'd improve or change, but it's been fun for me each time I've stopped to smell the roses.
Yesterday I decided to work on some map completion, and I ended up following a cute little event chain in Metrica Province in the Inquest lab ("The Funhouse"). I helped some asura break out of jail cells, then they wanted to fuck some shit up on their way out, and then finally they broke out of the facility. It was probably more fun than if I'd run COF1 for the billionth time. (I don't do dungeons a lot).

Since it's an MMO, having people to play with is kind of the point. I think I'd still enjoy the game if I wasn't in a guild like GAF, but it would have something missing. That's part of the reason I've never been able to get into the Elder Scrolls games, even though they've changed or improved the other major complaints I have with the series; all that open space, no one to share it with.
But as a Law of Gaming, anything is better with co-op.

Slowly levelling up my character. Just hit lv55. Haven't tried anything but random events and champions, the story run of AC and two world bosses I stumbled across.
Finally got 16 cheevos for that home Quartz, and I never want to play that Mario Kart mode ever again. Never once placed first either. =/
Slow going, but fun.

Controller is fun to play with but managing inventory is still a pain
Also, things keep popping up in front of this game, I get this game right before a long homestand, and then go on vacation right afterwards, then as soon as I get home, bam earthbound and dynasty warriors 8 are out, then after that I got another homestand for the phillies I need to work at, and august is the month of work for me
Anyone wanna break my leg so I dont have to work :3

That "not so secret" JP will be first one I'm completely skipping. Hard jumps n stuff are one thing, but that thing is the epitome of sketchyness, glitchyness and unfair falling deaths. Hate it.
Yes. As soon as my guild disbanded, the game became boring as hell. It's seriously like playing TES with a lot of trash talk by some other people you'll never see.
I would, but im i forgot a mousepad, and dont feel like spending money on one
it's not. ive tried a few by myself. gets boring real quick. even worse when you get a 2nd shift job and the playerbase is nothing at 2 or 3am.
got the lightning back today thanks to the crazy farming. 2 kites had 50 scraps each.
A good guild makes all the difference in the world. Truthfact.. It's why I stayed with WoW so long.
EDIT:
Did... I just run... into robot roleplaying? XD

Just chiming in to say gaf guild is full of great people and I love playing and chatting with most all of you
Aside, probably gonna shoot for a thursday mission make-up 4-fer with the patch being tuesday. My daylight schedule's a bit in flux this week though. I will certainly try to ensure they happen
(I need the comns, haha)

Yea, I don't do a lot with the guild other than the saturday night stuff, since I mostly just faff around with alts. But without the guildchat I don't think I would have spent even half the time playing GW2 as I have (half the time I've spent playing is still more than I have in any other game though).

We have a commander a bit like that on Seafarer's Rest. I decided I couldn't deal with it at 10AM on a Sunday and went off to do something else.
Edit. Oh wow, that's on SFR. I wonder if it's an alt.
Edit the second. It's a different guild so maybe we are just breeding them!

Ruined City of Arah Map datamined long time ago...notice the skeleton of a dragon on the right side.
In-game map of the Runied City of Arah. No dragon. Wonder if they start to cleans Orr that dungeon will change to include the skeleton of the dragon which I think is Zhaitan.
What do you guys think?

Reading these previews for tomorrows update has made me even less interested in the activities...if it wasn't for the blog post last week I'd be pretty disappointed. I guess I'll give in my tokens and continue to just stick to WvW. Hope there is some more lore stuff happening during this update and it isn't just activities.
I can't wait to see what the next release teaser will be.

whats the cutoff for Four Winds achievements? I have a few more to get to 16.
Two weeks from tomorrow.
Pretty sure it runs up until August 6th. All of their previous updates have kept the first update's stuff around until the end of the month. It seems that the first update always establishes the 'theme' (Dragon Bash, Bazaar) and the second creates the drama. Then they both go away at the start of the next month.
