Having a good guild is the best way to play, and it doesn't matter where the guild is. So there's no reason to xfer.
This is very true. A good guild can keep you logging in even when there's very little to do. Then when there -is- stuff to do, it makes it that much more fun.

I think leveling without a guild would suck unless you want to RP. You don't know who you can talk to casually. People slow walking to quests. Sex parties. You're not supposed to talk off topic in many chats, but you have RP trolls. Cyber whispers.
I honestly never had this problem and both my 80 Horde hunter and my 80 Ally warlock are females. My hunter never joined a guild. You would think I'd be swamped with cyber whispers. Not the case. In fact, a lot of the people I used to quest with are very good friends of mine today. The conversations all pretty much started the same way too. "Hey, looks like we're working on the same quest. Wanna join up?" All is history from there.
I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I don't doubt that stuff exists. At the same time, I've never gone looking for it and it has never directly impacted me. At one point I almost thought RP didn't exist on our server. Guess I just didn't know where to look, lol.

I signed on one last night and a higher level was sitting there waiting outside the human starting area. He says "excuse me sir". Who just sits around waiting for human conversation? Creepy.
That is creepy. The only random conversation I've ever gotten from strangers is gold begging.
P.S. No, wait, I just thought of one. My brother started to play a warrior so I created a BE priest to run with him every now and then. I remember getting a very lengthy whisper inviting me to an RP guild while on that character. That was my most recent experience with an RP'er, haha.
