I have 2 gow games, 1 on ps4 and 1 on my phone. I was in guilds in both, but recently left the one on phone. I love playing gow but it starts to feel like an obligation when I’m in a guild. Like, I HAVE to join in guild wars to help the guild, and I HAVE to participate in events that help the guild, I HAVE to get so many seals, gold and trophies etc. I love the relaxed feeling of just being able to play explore runs and class trials and anything else I can do without a guild. It’sjust a game after all. Sometimes I don’t feel like playing certain games I have, sometimes I’m just not in that mood ya know? However… there’s definitely a side of me that enjoys helping my guild achieve the best we can. It’s just that… it’s like being told what to do. 😂Like right now for example, I feel I HAVE to play guild wars today and I really don’t want to lol. (So far I’m 5/0 4/1 5/0.) I’m just tired of the “pull” to play. It’s a low-key dilemma. (lol I probably could have made my point in less words). ---

Yeah, I have enough obligations I just can’t do guilds. I created a guild so I could do some of the guild things, but we don’t do guild wars. I totally understand what you are saying 😃 ---

We have 0 obligation guilds in our alliance. Or one at least, and some low obligation guilds. With people occasionally doing at least some guild stuff it’s better than not being in a guild at all. These types of guilds are out there as you can see. So if you can be relaxed even though you are in a guild (if there are no requirements) and won’t push yourself, I’d join one of that type. ---

Oh yeeeaahh… thank you. (But I know I’ll feel guilty leaving my guild​:rofl:… … they’re such cool people and they contribute so well 😔. I’m a mess lol. Guess I can’t have it both ways.) ---

Yeah, that’s a tough situation to be in. I’m sometimes also forcing myself to do some things I don’t really like so I can support the people in my guild. That’s part of why guilds are such an important part of keeping people invested in the game.
