That sounds like a blast, ring wars are the best encounters.

The competition of killing better/faster/smarter/longer seems healthy. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

@Daldaen, as somebody that had to choose a guild on Phinny, can you say that the competition between the guilds was much of a factor? I feel like the instanced raiding and the progression that everybody will get there relatively quickly makes the top guild less meaningful.
There's basically 4 groups of nerds.

1: AoS - They neckbeard hard, take weeks off work (lol what job) and try to clear the content immediately. Then after that they commitment themselves to killing all the open world spawns. Every 2-3 days they're clearing all of the content in an expansion.
2: OGC - They neckbeard hard, take weeks off work (lol what job) and try to clear the content immediately. They don't really care about open world spawns.
3: Darkwind/EoE/IVAS - They have pretty strong neckbeards but they likely aren't raiding at 9 AM when PoP launches like the other two guilds. They raid hard, are scumbaggy and will try to knock out content as quickly as possible. Though they won't be on suicide watch if they don't clear it fastest.
4: Everyone else - *Puff puff pass*. We just like, want to raid content man. Whatever happens will happen.

For me it was just all "what guild isn't full a retards, actually knows what they're doing, won't be raiding at 9AM on a Tuesday". Mostly I just had 4-5 pals go to EoE which is why I ended up there. The other guilds in this tier all seem pretty similar from what I've discerned.
