To OP: I have to agree with a few others in this thread. It's hard (impossible, maybe) to get high end items without having a good reputation or friends. Stick around, make friends, and you'll have all the help you need. It's just a good idea in general to make friends anyway. Friends are fun! Friends like you! Friends go on adventures with you! Being a friend is fun, too! I highly recommend it.

Didn't realize I said "I have no friends". Let me clarify that I do have friends. I have friends outside the game, and I even have friends on p99.

What I don't have is friends in this guild, and it seems I probably won't in the end either. I have determined like many people have discussed in this thread already, that I simply aint a good fit for this type of guild.

I should have simply followed the route my ingame friends have taken, but I wanted to try something new and something I never got to do on live. Which is raid higher end content in Kunark and Velious. All this has done is actually isolated me more from some of the pals I made early on because guild activities tend to take up time and my pals are in other smaller guilds, doing their own things too.

Call it casual, or whatever other veiled insult you want, I actually enjoy the journey with others and value the times when you can chat and talk about stuff while you grind XP or hunt at a specific camp.

Perhaps the raid scene just aint for me. When people start thirsting for loots to the point that they forget common decency towards their own guild members, it's at this point where I no longer find the game fun.

If it sounds like I am being contentious here, it's not what I intend... I just found your post a bit insultive as if my whole problem is some social issue of making friends.

On a side note, I have a cleric and a paladin that I enjoy most of all my toons right now, and guess what? Both are highly group oriented, and I have made new "friends" since leveling them up.

I guess I was just hoping that there was a chance that I could partake in some of the challenging content with a guild that had the mindset of a smaller knit guild that valued it's members and not just a select core group who basically keep the pixels flowing in for themselves.

One thing about people I always try to remind myself is what I learned 30 years ago from a very influential movie, when.... Well. let me find it.

Here it is.
