This discussion has gotten stale. No one here cares what you think of guilds. The fact that you, or other people like you, do not understand the advantages of being in a guild is not the fault of me or the other posters in this thread.
Please think of something to contribute before you barge into a forum with your thousand year old signature .gifs and your colored text.
Like I said you can't come up with a good reason, I haven't said anything about your FPS signature or avatar (they at least look like it) on a Diablo forum. But ya this topic is getting a little boring. Sorry guys.
Alright let me clarify a few things.
1) I made this topic so that people could actually sit down and convince somebody who usually wouldn't join a clan (not just me, I'll explain) to join one.
2) I made it to have something to talk about; something fresh, not to argue, really.
3) I love the idea of a clan, I've just learned from personal experience that it's more enjoyable to build your own "social network" from meeting and playing with random people. I feel as though the clan systems of Diablo just hold you back. But I will admit that joining a clan is like having X number of friends instantly. I have no idea what support features will be in Diablo 3 for a clan so I can't comment on those.
4) You guys still haven't made any good points yet. Why not say some unique things the clan your in does differently from other clans? Something besides, "I like playing with the same people everyday, all day, 24/7." S0Met1NG/!!1!!!?!?/?!
You guys have yet to convince me of any good reason to be in a clan. The two best reasons so far that I've heard though are something like. "We are a group of like minded people." and "We are a group of people who like to maintain an image and a certain standard of game play".
I mean I've had tons of friends play Diablo and sure we've tried to start clans but they never really make it. The only way I'm going to be in a clan is if Blizzard adds a clan tag, and I join a clan. Just to kind of say I'm not a newb and I roll with these guys. Sitting there all day and helping people is as boring as hell (lol).
Sometimes you've just gotta get out there on your own and have fun, right Sixen?
It is alot more fun playing with friends. But what's the point of adding any complexity to it? Why call it a clan? Why add rules? What do you get from adding a name, rules and complexity? In my opinion, there is no point. The idea of a clan is tantilizing but there just isn't anything keeping it together. Atleast until Blizzard adds a reason to be in one. And I can't think of one good suggestion that would work in a game like Diablo. Except pay people to be in one or have clan only areas?
So over the years I have attempted to make a few clans. On Diablo 1, Diablo 2 and World of Warcraft (boring btw); and it's never really worked out for me. I know there are such things as successful clans/guilds out there, but I still have yet to see one (except for WoW).
So my question is, what's the point of being in a clan anyways? Even on WoW there isn't much someone can't do by themselves. And for a game like Diablo there is literally nothing someone couldn't do by themselves or with a friend or two at most. There just isn't anything there keeping everyone together. So what's the point?
