WTF Spagetti's blog entry about various types of guilds (he lumps them into the three general classes of social, casual raiding, and raiding) got me thinking about how The Solo MMO Player defines the guilds on his realm:
The Frat Boys: These guilds like to get together and trash the place, kill all the NPCs, block the entrance to the Auction House, mess with players out minding their own business, etc. and whose peak WOW experience was last year's zombie invasion.
The Users: The guilds that invite as many folks to join as possible so that they can use them to cherry pick the best drops for the officers and then boot the members who complain about this treatment. This guild is only interested in what's in it for them.
The Losers: These are the new guilds which are started by those no one else will allow in a guild so that they can lord it over somebody. The officers are inexperienced and domineering and these guilds don't last long.
The Fruit Cakes: These guilds are distinguished by officers who are nuts or who allow their crazy significant others to rule the guild. You can usually tell who is off their meds by the amount of Scripture they quote alternating with angry rants against you, the new guild member. Run away, run away!
The Pro Athletes: These guilds are the ultra serious raiders, with cut-throat competition for who has the best stats, gear or raiding slots. Join at your own risk, assuming that you can meet their very stringent criteria and raid every night of the week on top of reading everything possible to prepare for raiding.
The Taxi Drivers: These are leveling guilds with a twist. They look for high level players to walk low level players through instances. Very few folks here know how to play their characters as everything is given them. Avoid if you want to learn to play the game.
The Kmart Shoppers: These guilds want one thing and that's the "best" loot, whatever that happens to be this week.
