Chaba.5410 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 [NERF] Fort Engineer is still around for engineers. At this point though we are primarily just a group of people doing raids together and while most of us started on engineer, we play other classes too. The "NERF" tag is reference to engineer being the class that was nerfed pre-launch from heavy armor to medium armor and then continued to be heavily nerfed in the first months of the game. The "Fort" is because the guild founder and more than a handful of the original members started on Fort Aspenwood (at the time there was no mega-server). My experience with profession-based guilds has been that they don't have much cohesion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah. Did [NERF] go for a teaching role as a guild? That's what I am trying to aim for with this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did [NERF] go for a teaching role as a guild? That's what I am trying to aim for with this list. It was like that at first and to some extent still is only insofar as some of the members still playing know the class well. Those kinds of guilds from my experience though only have limited appeal and aren't designed for longevity. So I'm not surprised your list is rather short. Focusing on a single profession, especially one that at the time was one of the lowest played professions in the game, is very limiting. When the guild was more active, players ended up dividing more into doing something together in different game modes rather than talking and learning about the profession. A lot of members were just solo and liked it that way, which didn't foster much of a community to build, especially when flung across different timezones, regions, and servers.

Zacchary.6183 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Got permission from Mesmer forum guild. The guild is also has very little activity so it would be a good idea to get some go-getters in there. Their recruitment thread is also on the old forums.

saerni.2584 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 These kind of guilds just need players who are experienced with a profession willing to stay in a guild to help other players and theory craft with. Most people don’t have that many active guilds that an extra spot can’t be occupied by a “mentor” guild and maybe a “mentee” guild. Raids/Fractals/PvE PvP WvW Mentor (profession I’m good at) Mentee (profession I’m learning) I do think we need more guild slots (maybe 7 total).
