    Guild Wars 2 Application
    How old are you?
    23
    In-Game Name?
    EmoJosh
    Do you have Teamspeak 3 and a mic?
    Yes
    What is your prefered playstyle?
    PvP
    What kinds of activities are you interested in?
    I have a big interest in WvW and sPvP when it comes to GW2. I love playing with a team when I can and those seem to be the modes that allow me to do so. I am not going to avoid Hot Joins but if I can get into a team for PvP, I want too.

    I also compulsively farm, it's relaxing for me. If I want to zone out I will do that for a few hours. :]
    Previous Gaming Experience:
    Been gaming since I was 6, MMOs since I was 13. I started out with consoles, mostly RPGs as they evolved. I got into Everquest with a friend and although I sucked, I loved it.

    Since then I have played almost all the major titles in the MMO genre, although most of my time was spent in WoW. I have raided as a Leader and Member, run PvP groups/Arena Teams, run a late night Raiding Guild etc. If it exists I have probably done it and loved it.

    For specific "trophies" I was the Rogue Class Officer for a Server best PvE Guild during TBC, successfully run a server community BG group and gotten a few Arena teams to ~1800 (early Seasons). In other games it was mostly just raiding as PvP centric titles have been light.
    Why did you choose XoO:
    I was contacted XoO_Officer (mysterious) on the GW2Guru forums. We had a reasonable chat and I got a good feeling from what he had to say. I checked out your website and agreed with your policies and goals for GW2 and how it seems you're going after those goals.
    Why do you think you'll be a good fit?
    I am a very self sufficient player. I am used to pulling well over my share of weight whether it be on DPS Charts or as a leader. I go out of my way to get every scrap of information I can on the game I play or am interested in and use that information in any way I can.

    I take and give direction well, depending on what my role is. I am early for events and take my obligations seriously, if I make a commitment it is kept even if it's "just a game".
    What will you contribute to the guild?
    I am an experienced PvP player and I am excited to use that experience in WvW for this Guild and its server, as well as meeting some awesome people and getting into sPvP. I also have no problem doing my share of farming, assisting others in quests/dungeons and just trying to have a positive impact on those around me.
    Localization:
    NA
    Do you have a referral?
    XoO_Officer, I think. :]
    A little bit about yourself?
    I am a hardcore gamer as you might be able to tell. I do tabletop gaming and pen/paper RPGs besides video games. I also go to college full time (Linguistics) and work full time for my family.

    I am usually pretty quiet but very receptive to conversation. I do swear a fair bit under duress but never attempt to be rude or a distraction.

    Not sure what else to say. :]
    Activity level?
    I would say 30+ although it will vary from way more to just about that.
    Do you have a high speed internet connection and a good computer?
    Yes
    Have you applied to the GW2 usergroup?
    Yes

    Welcome to the forums, feel free to look around the different areas while your waiting. Your application looks really good, I will sent you a PM with times for an interview.

    Is there a race/class you are most interested in for GW2?

    Yes, sorry I should have mentioned that. I am locked into Guardian, most likely Asura. I like being small when playing a support role.
