Personality types in a server 5th type guild

Here is a quick overview of the different types of people you will encounter when joining a Hardcore-Casual or Server 5th guild. You may even see yourself in some of these stereotypes.

Boss Man: The most assertive voice in the guild. Usually an officer but not always. Known to some as "the biggest dick on the planet". Usually gets his way.

Raid Leader: Sometimes the boss man, but not usually. The raid leader needs to be mom, dad, big brother, teacher, and babysitter. Not only does he play with you but he has to watch everyone else while he does and tell them what to do. Thankless job, but probably the biggest authority figure in the guild. If he is the boss man you get raids like this .

Invisible Girl: The first of 3 possible women in the guild. She will speak on vent about once a month. She is wanted by all the guys who don't have a real girlfriend.

Slutty Girl: The 2nd type of woman in the guild. She is sexually provocative in gchat and vent to get attention and in game favors. Many, many, many times she ends up dating the raid leader or guild leader. Usually a bad player but gets to stay in the raid/guild because of her social (sexual) ties to the leader(s) of the guild.

Just one of the Guys Girl: The last type of woman in the guild. She tries to pal around or be friendly in gchat and vent. She is the only type of woman in the guild that is seen in a non sexual light by the guys in the guild. Her worth is measured by her ability to play the game.

The Kid: someone in his low teens or even younger. Most guildies give him a hard time about his age, but is usually a solid player.

The Bragger: The guy who lets everyone know when he does something good. He posts damage meters from a 5 man instance in guild chat when he severely out gears the others. He does achievements just to see the announcement pop up in guild chat.

The Rule Breaker: Also known as The Padder, as in padding the damage meters. He will not follow the guidelines or rules of an encounter so that he can do better personal DPS. Expect him to always AoE, stay on the boss when adds need to be killed and to cheat the encounter so he can look better on damage meters.

The Rager: He will scream and yell, point fingers, and berate people for their inability to be perfect. Never point out his shortcomings or you will make an enemy for life.

The Quiet Raider: This is the majority of your raid makeup. They will talk every once in a while or when the strat requires it, otherwise they keep their head down and just try to perform.

The Talker: He always has something to say. If there is a joke going around hes a part of it. You will see his name in gchat or form posts every day whether you want to or not.

The Know it All: Usually he is also a Talker, but not always. He always has the latest news. He spends as much time visiting fan sites as he does playing the game. Anyone who has a question about anything he has an answer to. Sometimes its even right.

The PvPer. This guy squeaks in through the application process by sounding knowledgeable about his class. He doesn't have a lot of raiding experience because he is rated at 15 gazillion on his arena team. He states he is "here to raid" but 2 weeks in he is deliberately missing raids because he needs to get his arenas in.

The "Partner Application": Two friends or a couple who both apply to the guild and want to be accepted together or not at all. 99% of the time one will suck and one will be great. If you accept them you will have to either sit the bad one out of every raid and hear the drama about it or bring the bad one and carry him through every encounter just to keep the good one.


That's it for now. If you can think of any others feel free to post in the comments section.
