Are Player Guilds worth joining?

[iGPUGamer]

New player here. It seems like player guilds in ESO is just ESO's version of the auction house? Is it worth joining for any other reason?

[Pterolycus_Aigars1983]

no there is alot categorys before join read guilds description some are aimed at pve asome at pvp some at trading some at role playing sure some guilds might be cold as fk like all just doo their own stuffs ect but in total guilds are usefull thing and you can join in 5 of them or create one and join in 4 more

When I started up the current free play of ESO, it only had two server options, NA and EU. I am not actually living in America, does it affect the joining of player guilds?

They only have (mega)servers in these 2 regions, and the guilds are separate from the other region. Even if you are not from NA or EU region, you can join guilds from either megaservers without issue. What this also means, however, is the event that they make another megaserver for your region, the guilds that you are a part of will not be carried over, unless they form a guild in that new megaserver as well.

The only issue you *might* find is the time zone differences. You might find less players online during the region's off-peak periods, meaning lesser players to help with dungeons, crafting etc. There are player guilds that cater for regions outside of NA and EU (Asia, Australia, etc). and the timezone differences.

Generally yes, players guilds are worth to join. You have a nice search engine in game so you can select the one you prefer and check their requirements before joining.
If you search people for dungeons and raids don't sign in a commercial guild. And if you are asocial like me don't join a social guild, that's all. Many guilds are not specialized and they are probably the best, except for raids and trials.

And if you don't like the others you can quit the guild at any moment.

There is no reason to join the same guild on both servers, provided they exists on both. Better join different ones for diversity.

What do you get out of joining a guild if you are asocial? I also joined a guild in Warcraft, but other than that original you are now in a guild message, I had neither received any other messages nor sent any. Curious about how things work in ESO. Also I see in some of the adverts they mention no dues. Do you pay in gold or crowns to join a guild? My character is currently broke and not too sure how to get more gold.

Joining a social guild doesn't mean you have to be social. However there's a body of people there if you need them. Maybe someone to craft you stuff, or help you out if you want to do a particular dungeon etc. Whether you join in chat or their social activities is up to you. A social guild is free.

Where you have to pay money is if you want to join a guild with a trader. Some of the bigger guilds ask for large weekly fees or selling targets. Some don't ask for fees at all. However the latter comes with a health warning.

Traders are very expensive and in order to buy one every week they need to make up the money from donations from their members. So although they say there's no fees, the actual situation is that you're constantly being begged for money.

Having said that, joining a trade guild and picking flowers is the easiest way of making money out there. One cornflower will sell for 500g. How difficult is it to pick flowers?
Maybe give it a go. If you don't like it, then press x and leave. No questions asked.

There in is the point. If you are broke you join guilds to use the guild stores (auction houses) to make money. I usually pull about 750k average a week using guild stores. And that’s relatively low.

I have struggled to find an active guild that meets my needs/wants. I filter by large guilds 300 or 350+ active members and rarely see 40+ peeps online when I'm generally online. I have one trading guild simply to sell stuff, but I don't participate in the events, auctions, etc. just list stuff to sell on the guild trader.

For trading, I only want a casual trading guild. I am not going to make this game a full time job farming resources or whatever to meet some sort of minimum weekly sells goals. I saw one once with a minimum requirement of 1M sells and deposit into the guild bank of at least 100K per week.

The other four are supposedly for PVE (vet dungeons, vet trials, etc.). This is where I've seen a lot of hit or misses. Many of the "active" guilds don't seem to be that active to me.

Some have absolutely HORRIBLE Discord servers. Like really really bad and need to be completely redone. I was in one once where every channel was some sort of animal noise "baa", "moo", etc. I saw that immediately disconnected the server and left the guild.

Others claim to be casual, looking to help new players, social, etc. but in fact elitist. They don't really want to do anything outside their core trial teams. No interest in WBs, pledges, etc. Which is perfectly fine, but their ad is misleading.

Many in general need to update their ads: "450+ active members" when the listing itself shows active members around 125 LMAO. Ghost town haha
