What chance does a non-competitive player have on this server?

Unfortunately even if OP apps to kingdom or any raid guild and gets accepted, he'll quickly realize that he's still gonna be passed over within his own guild unless he poopsocks and clique's up. Seemingly every guild on green now has the same pitch: "Join us cause it's totally laid back but also raid friendly" blah blah. We all know the people who are on discord and in game 24\7 are treated differently than the warm bodies.

That being said, I think it *should* be that way. This game is hard, and it's why I like it. Achievements feel meaningful if they are hard to achieve, regardless of what is making them hard to achieve. There are other games you can play if you want "contested" stuff more easily, although I'd argue it's no longer really contested if it's easy to get.

Yea this has been my experience 100%

I joined Castle easily. No issues, just agreed to the rules which I honestly can’t even remember anymore, but luckily still haven’t broken

Almost a year ago I tagged along to a few raids that I heard about in guildchat. But lately everything is pretty organized. There’s I believe a sign up sheet on discord, raid times are announced, etc. Doesn’t come close to the well-oiled machine that classic WoW (the 2020 version) raiding was for me, but still pretty dang organized

Discord and sign ups are too much trouble for me. I log in whenever I feel like it, and don’t like feeling compelled to log on at some pre-arranged time. I got enough of that shit in classic WoW when my co-worker who played (I joined his guild) and I were having to duck out of work early to not be replaced in the WoW raid sign up discord due to a 10 minute tardiness cutoff

So because it’s all too much effort for me, that means no raids. This isn’t a complaint though. I’m fine with it like you are. It’s how it should be, organized is better than scattered

But you better be ready to commit
