Shared Topic: What Kind of guild are you in?

Hi guys, this week's Shared Topic over at Blog Azeorth suggested by Dragonray of Azerothian Life. asks about What kind of guild environment are we in? Either is it a chatty guild or a quiet guild environment? Anyway, just thought to participate because I like to share my own experiences with my current guild and previous guilds since I played World of Warcraft.

To answer the questions my current guild right now is not a very chatty guild, because we are only a 10 man guild and there are only like 10-15 people logged in game. and everyone are busy with questing, raiding, doing dailies that we rarely use guild chat, if we do use any type of communication we only either say "grats" to someone who won an achievement either guild or just the player, say hello to everyone. I mean don't get me wrong that you think we are not a very social guild but we are it's just that the players in our guild is just so focused on what they are doing, and most of us use the Ventrilo more than chatting in game because now a days most guild rather use vent as a type of in game tool for raiding and such even me and I have no time to chat just go on with my business and not waste time. 

I just think that it's up to the players how they use their communication tools in game either guild chat, raid chat or vent. and also it really depends how many players online in the guild, if its a 250+ members guild 70% are online then I believe the guild environment and the chat is having a party including trade chat or general chat. that 30% of players may be just too busy or just choose to be quiet. 

But I agree some players in the guild are very talkative, some are trolls, some are very immature, some just don't stop asking for help, some spams trade chat to sell stuff, and yes some also talks very interesting topics that I sometimes join in the conversation. and some I just ignore and continue to do what I am doing. I may not be in a perfect guild environment but to be able to communicate with them in any ways is absolutely fine, as long as there is no discrimination to any religion, race, etc. because we do want a peaceful guild without any drama, and just having fun.

My previous guild is pretty much the same, but mainly focused on a serious hardcore guild, chatting in guild with them was fine, but not during raiding time, we mostly address and talk to our officers if there are any problems. raid leaders uses ventrilo and most of the players in the guild. In my opinion really just depends on the rules of the guild how to deal guild conversation socially, or formally. I am an officer of my current guild I often do use officers chat rather than the guild or raid chat which it became a habit I guess. 

Also by communication and using these tools like chatting with your guild mates is a good way to get acquainted and know them as a person too because you do play with these people mostly everyday and it's nice to know them besides playing the game. which that brings back to my experience knowing my boyfriend for 5years now that we met and knew each other through chatting in game back when we are both still playing Ragnarok Online and continue our game interest in WoW. So it is very interesting, having either you are in a very chatty guild or quiet guild for me it's okay. I don't ask my guild to be perfect, I just want my guild to have full or surprises either going to any adventures like raiding, questing, pvping, leveling etc. its good enough for me.

So How about you? What kind of guild are you in?
