I know a lot of guilds will let anyone who's interested in joining in with very little required . That is fine for them if that's what they want, and I pass no judgement, but I'm looking for a guild that has a slightly higher bar.
Nothing too specific yet as finding one that is a good fit will be on a case by case basis but generally some things I'd like to see are;
Some standard for joining relative to the players achievement and skill
requirements for members about staying active (i.e. "must be on line `minimum` of x hours per week, for example)
expectations for guild interaction (lots of guilds where people join up and never talk on chat let alone participate in guild activities, that would be the opposite of what I'm looking for. )
that brings me to a focus on guild-organized activities. (HM-NiM ops., conquest, group coordinated heroic speed-runs, organized FP runs for dailies/weekles, ETC.
^^ That gives a general beginning of an idea of what I have in mind, it's certainly not an exhaustive list, and I'm sure there's more I haven't thought of that I would be impressed by.
Thanks all, I look forward to your input, suggestions, and recommendations.
