I'm here to apply for a place in the guild for the Exile Wildstar branch on Stormtalon
. I'm a 32 year old life-long gamer. I grew up on Zelda and Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo, and transitioned to MMOs in 2002 with Dark Age of Camelot. I played that game for many years on a fairly casual basis for both pve and pvp. I then moved to WoW at release and ended up a 40-man raid healer (priest), then took a break for PvP exclusively, then back to 25s/10s. I eventually became far more casual and led a small guild that did 10-man raids, until quitting the game (after 7 or so years played) when the grind got to be too much and RL got a little more challenging (moving from college to career and marriage). I've since played Lotro in which I was a total carebear PvEr, SWtoR in which I exclusively did PvP healing (Jedi consular), GW2 in which I did WvW/sPvP almost exclusively (guard/ ele), and shorter stints in GW, EVE online, City of Heroes, DDO, ESO and various other titles that don't currently come to my sleep-deprived mind lol. I've mostly raided and PvPd as a healer, but have spent time as a tank in dungeons, and as an off-tank in 10-man raids. I honestly haven't tried healing yet in Wildstar and only just got to 50 so am not attuned to anything. I've been taking a fairly casual approach to the game, which will most likely be the way I continue due to RL commitments (more on that later lol).I've always enjoyed making friends in games, and have always found it frustrating to lose a group of friends when moving on from a game, so I absolutely love that Grievance is a multi-game guild. I also highly appreciate the 18+ age minimum. Having been raised in the pre-internet era, I enjoy gaming with people who are well-spoken, polite, and understand that there are real people behind every keyboard and repercussions to what you say and do. I don't enjoy aspects of gameplay that negatively impact someone else's enjoyment unfairly (griefing etc). That being said I do enjoy joking around, have been known to use profanity around friends (not directed at anyone, and I can certainly clean up language in professional situations or around those not appreciative of it, though prefer a mature group that don't mind the occasional swear word), and I don't often take things too seriously or get offended easily. I really dislike drama.
Finally, I've worked as an acute care Physical Therapist for the past 8-9 years or so but have recently gone on maternity leave. We're expecting our first Sept 12th... although it's not the best time to be looking for a new guild since I could need to go "afk" pretty much anytime (yikes!), my current guild has just dissolved and I could also end up waiting 2 more weeks without much else to do but play Wildstar!
Sorry for the length of the app, but thank you for taking the time to read it and to consider my membership! I would love to join you all in Wildstar, and hopefully other games in the future
