Mostly North American-Based High-End PvE/Elite Farming Guild (Active @ Most Times)
Guild Forums URL:

Hello! Thanks for your interest!
As part of our intention to build up a nice reputation for ourselves in the overall Guild Wars community, We Farm Your [ECTOs] would like to recruit some active players who are interested in helping to make that happen.
WHO WE ARE:
We Farm Your [ECTOs] is a member of the Scions Of Carver [SCAR] Alliance which is full of quality players most any time of the day. Our guild (and overall alliance) is a high-end PvE and elite farming community, which specializes in such things as: HM Shards Of Orr, Bogroot's Growth Frog Scepter Runs, Other Random Dungeon Clears, Domain Of Anguish, FOW & UW (And Their Respective Speed Clears), Title Hunting, Vanquishes For Faction (ie. Morostav Trail/Drazach Thicket SC/Mount Qinkai SC/etc.), and whatever else catches our eye. Though we consider ourselves mainly PvE, there will certainly be times we'll give HA and lower forms of PvP a dedicated effort. Although we are Kurzick, in a Kurzick alliance, we also have a Luxon guild on the side where our members can swap to and dump Luxon faction if they need it. (When associated with one of the Kurzick/Luxon factions, the opposite will only allow single-rate faction dumping which necessitates the temporary roster switch.) Alliance and guild chat is always active with people setting up some run or other, so there is rarely a dull moment to be found from the moment we log in until the moment we log out.
We are always looking for ways to break the monotony of this 4-year-old game. Most of our guild members log in mostly every day and spend that time doing lots of different things so as to accommodate the most amount of players and interests. We are focused on learning the newest farms/builds and exploiting them to their fullest! We have started to hold contests to spread the wealth around the guild and as simply another fun thing to do in-between our in-game activities. Our guild forums, albeit new, are active with lots of new activity daily.
[ECTOs] is built from a core of people who have been playing GW together for years (and thus, have built up a tremendous bond). This isn't a guild that will completely fall apart or empty into nothing overnight. It's a stable roster, so you don't have to worry about going over this same recruitment process with somebody new a month or two from now. Tired of constantly guild hopping because of all those slapped-together guilds who are destined to fail? We aim to provide a home for all of those capable players who, due to the declining state of interest in this game overall, are constantly finding themselves without a home.
In some way, shape, or form, the core of this guild plans to move onto Guild Wars 2, but that's a bridge we'll cross when we come to it (since it's apparently so far off).
HOW WE ARE:
Although We Farm Your [ECTOs] has a pretty sizeable roster already, we are recruiting into our guild because there is always room to make new friends, acquaintances, and people to shoot the breeze with over completely random things that have nothing to do with GW.
We are serious about our guild recruitment, but that's mainly because we want to have as good a roster as possible for the betterment of everyone involved. Make no mistake, however. We are friendly and open. This guild is as loose as any of those townie party guilds you see that are constructed merely for hanging out and meeting new people with similar interests. Our ventrilo server not only exists for in-game communication, but also for having a good time and getting to know one another. Miss out on ventrilo, miss out on doing nearly 100% of what we do together as a guild. Miss out on our forums, miss out on some of our in-jokes, contests, and discussions. We aim for a serious attitude with regards to accomplishing objectives in-game, but know that we can also tell a joke and at the same time take it. Priority lies with those who make an effort to participate and contribute to making this guild an enjoyable place for everyone involved, not just in-game but overall.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Age: 16 or higher. Most importantly, a decent level of maturity that accompanies that age.
2. Still active with GW. If you aren't ever there, who needs you here?
3. You must want to join this guild to be an integral part of it. We're not interested in those people who will act excited and cordial on the first day but from that point on completely ignore everyone else on the roster. Participate and contribute to making this guild an enjoyable place for everyone involved (through vent, guild chat, guild forums, offering help/assistance, etc.) or don't be surprised if your roster spot is given to someone who will.
4. Ventrilo Is REQUIRED. No ventrilo = no invite! A microphone isn't required but being on ventrilo (to hear what's going on) is. Not being on our guild or alliance ventrilo server(s) WILL exclude you from many of the things we do. If you are a person who will chronically ignore getting on our guild or alliance ventrilo server(s), then you are not the kind of player we are looking for, and this is not the guild for you.
5. Knowledge of high-end PvE and farming builds is preferred. Having an interest in those is all but required, since that's what this guild is all about (these days).
6. You must have a thick skin because we are mostly adults and enjoy ribbing a bit. This isn't a PG-13 guild by any means (although we mandate a show of respect when addressing the alliance). If that's too much for you, you aren't enough for us.
