3.) Tell us about how you play your primary profession(s). How are you geared? What role do you play in a team?
My primary profession depends on what content I am involved with.
WvW, sPvP - Necro
Precision/Toughness/Condition gear and I try to remove conditions from team mates and strip boons from enemies.
PvE/Dungeons - Thief/Warrior/Guardian depending on the dungeon
Thief and Warrior are both berserker geared for faster boss killing. Guardian is PVT geared for survivability and tanking. Guardian is also altruistic healing based and I frequently use staff or mace to heal in the harder dungeons.
4.) What server are you currently on? if not on Dragonbrand do you intend on changing?
Dragonbrad
5.) What MMO games have you played in the past? Do you still play them?
Ragnarok Online - Off and on. I played since Alpha testing and it as my first MMO. Hard to leave it since it has so much sentimental value to me.
Perfect World - I do not play this anymore, got really tired of the pay to win aspect near the end.
Forsaken World - I do not play this anymore, got really tired of the pay to win aspect near the end. (made by the same company as Perfect World)
Tera - I do not play this anymore, not sure exactly why but I lost interest.
6.) Please rate each of the following aspects of Guild Wars 2 in order of importance to you. (1=Lowest, 5=Highest)
6 - a. Story/Lore
5 - b. Exploration/Cartography ( I would actually have this rated higher if I had not already done my map completion! )
3 - c. Extracurricular Activities such as crafting, (power) trading, chatting ( If chatting was a section by itself, it would rank as #1 for me )
1 - d. General casual play
2 - e. High Level or Challenging areas (most likely with a group, ie: end game content and dungeons)
4 - f. PvP or WvWvW
7.) Please explain why you would like to join ToA.
I am looking for a fun and respectful adult oriented PvE guild. I was in Emperium on JQ since about October and came with them over to Dragonbrand a few months ago. They renamed themselves Red Essence, but then dissolved. Since then, I have been a bit burnt out on WvW and am looking to explore more of the PvE aspect of this game. I don't even have dungeon master yet
.
8.) How did you hear about ToA? Do you know anyone in ToA? Please list their name(s).
I found out about ToA on the guild recruitment of GW2Guru forums. I currently do not know anyone in ToA.
9.) Do you have Teamspeak and a headset with microphone?
Yes!
10.) How often do you play Guild Wars 2? Hours per day? Days per week?
I typically play at work, so roughly 6 hours a day M-F if I do not have any projects or have to go out of town to fix computer networks. I play about 4-5 hours on Sundays as well.
11.) Did you play Guild Wars 1? (If Yes, please tell us your character names and what guilds you were in.)
No.
12.) Please tell us what is most important to you in a guild. Be specific.
The most important aspect to me about a guild is friendship and being social. I loved this about Emperium back on JQ, everyone was friendly and all worked toward a common goal (winning WvW.) However, since moving to DB with they eventually dissolved. I am looking for a guild to stay with forever, not one to rep some of the time and move on to another.
13.) Any additional comments you would like to add.
I thank you for taking the time in reading my application. I hope to hear from you soon regarding your decision and to join your ranks!
