Anyone Have Problems Finding Mature TeamSpeak Guilds?

edited March 2016 in The Pub at MMORPG.COM
A lot of guilds seem to require TS now, which I have no problem with, but I am so sick of getting into one of these guilds and having to listen to people spout obscenities, or having to hear their thinly disguised homophobia with their constant "No homo" or gross comments because of my voice (I do not have a manly voice... at all)-that or they are super cliquey and I wonder why I even am required to be in the TS if I'm just silent for the majority of the time, or I have to constantly roll my eyes as there's a couple in the TS who constantly have to remind everyone how much of a couple they are ("yes honey," "oh that's great sweetie," "okay babe"-like seriously, I hate to be one of those people but it get's annoying as all get out to hear this constantly!).

Don't get me started on the "bros," they are the most annoying subsection of the MMO community I've ever had the displeasure of listening to on TS. I swear they can't ever shut up about anything involving sexual content or their d!cks and I seriously wonder if some of them have an obsession issue with sex in general because it's all they seem to think about or be able to talk about.

Maybe I'm just not a normal 23 year old and can't relate to people my age because it seems like that's the age bracket that I largely run into when using TS or maybe I just have awful luck, but I never seem to get into a TS that has people that are just invested in the game, and don't want to voice their political views or how accepting or unaccepting they are-I literally don't give a crap, I'm just there to play a game.

Does anyone have similar issues that have led them to really start not liking guilds that require TS? I used to not mind, but lately I've seriously gotten turned off of guilds that use TS because of the people I seem to run into.

    I only use TS if a guild is doing pvp or raids and i don't speak at all because my voice sounds like someone from Coronation street my nickname used to be Raquel it will not mean anything to anyone outside of UK that. lol

    I wouldn't join a guild if they expected me to be in TS all day and most of the time people are quiet throughout raids in the guilds i have been in they do chat but i don't think the guilds i have been in have been that bad when chatting on TS but i don't really use it that much.

    Maybe find a different guild until you find one you like.

    Grievance requires Team Speal but they are very mature. If one wants to use expletives or have conversations that aren't PG then people can move to one of the channels set aside for such things. But everyone comes across as an adult who can keep it in check.

    Honestly OP I'm wondering if the real issue isn't more to do with your personality and not those of others.
    If by that you mean he has a quality personality, then yeah I suppose so.

    To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.

    The youngest person in my last EVE Online corporation of around 200 people was 29 or 30.  Kids don't tend to stick around in that game past the tutorial and honestly, it's adolescence that's the root of the majority of this behavior.

    I mean, sure, there's some sexual innuendo and name calling in EVE, but not the kind that makes you want to pull your headphones off and find something else to do.  Nothing like what I encountered in my one and only SWTOR guild; brimming to the full of puberty wracked boys all vying for the center of attention.  God help any woman who entered that teamspeak channel.

    Any PvP guild thats been around for years is pretty much all about being as efficient as possible so BS talk is not allowed in main gameplay channels.
    That was my experience, then again it's the only kind of guild I've been in, the kind of stuff the OP complained about was only allowed in private channels, which were all essentially enter at your own risk.

    Well as I get older I realize that age really is an issue.  I don't have the time to sit on TS and spout BS that I used to.  I realize that I'm up and down and not at the computer at least 1/3 of the time that my toon is logged in.  I don't care if others talk about vulgar shit.  I just tire of loud annoying excited people..unless it is a Darkall siege.  Other than a Darkfall siege I don't see any reason to really get excited in an MMO.

    Yes, this is like the channel I was in for Black Desert. I seriously muted it half the time lol

    As someone else mentioned go with Grievance and you'll be with a good group of mature adults and they play a wide variety of games across the landscape.

    Well not so much in EVE, but I can help you there if you are looking for a good US time zone null sec Corp/Alliance.

    Um, you need to define what you mean by mature... because it really means two things... one, someone older than you and... two someone who acts in a certain manner (with reserve).  You can be 2 years old and mature or 110 and mature.


    Now, if it were a Christian Guild... you would expect Christian values amongst it's members.  A mature guild could be full of a bunch of old farts who like to bash the minorities for fun.

    Not going to call myself the most mature person around but I still get what you mean...spent years drifting from one guild to another, never really feeling like I fit in and rolling my eyes at how painfully dumb and cliquey TS could get. Hopefully you find the right one, although you should also try to be more socially open if you can. I realized over the years I also had to put effort on my own end to be more friendly and put in effort to get to know the people I liked. It's a two-way street, really.

    As for the whole "honey, sweetie" thing, that's just a pretty typical part of being in a relationship although it can be certainly annoying if they make you feel like the useless third person, ugh.

    All the stories about "Cliquey" guilds brings back a memory: There was a new guy in our guild (was in for about a month or so, yet talked in TS all but one time)... one day he flipped out yelling at a guy in our guild who cursed a lot.

    One of our leaders confronted him about it, in response the guy went on a tirade about how cliquey we were, no one talked to him on TS, one of our members tried reasoning with him, basically saying "dude cliquey or not we invited you in, you seemed cool", Next thing we know "_____ has left the guild".. We all knew the guy in game quite well (chatted in tells , guild chat..etc..etc..etc..) We just figured He was one of those guys who didn't talk on TS. 

    Moral of the story, don't let the illusion of a clique make you feel as though you're not a part of it.

    I avoid voice chat unless it's with RL friends or people I've been gaming with a long time. The few times I've deviated from this I found it insufferable. I didn't mind when I was younger but now I have a lot less patience for d-baggery especially if it's being on comms is mandated.

    Yeah I know what you mean.  I generally am not interested in gabbing with other gamers over voice chat.  I just hop into TS or mumble for whatever gaming activity  is necessary and then leave voice chat as soon as I can.

    Maybe when I've had some cocktails I can enjoy voice chat a bit longer, but in general, I found it more annoying and unnecessary than fun.  So I make sure I belong to guilds that don't have the must be in voice chat at all times crap.

    I will echo the recommendations of a couple of posters above. If you are seeking a mature guild with a mature TeamSpeak look into becoming part of Grievance. We span many games and are quite active. If you have specific questions feel free to PM me here or if you play RIFT you can contact me there as I am in-game most nights.

    I did not get along with TS guilds.  For different reasons each time.  Usually it all lead back to a fault in the leader.  The leader picking favorites.  The leader not bothering to promote those who showed up daily but promoting someone who just joined because they talked good smack.  The leader not being clear in instructions.  The leader being a troll or to laid back.  The leader showing off.  People obviously ass-kissing the leader.

    I was looking for a close knit family and instead I got politics.


  • VestigeGamerVestigeGamer Member UncommonPosts: 518
    "Mature."  What does it mean?  When I see TS guilds titled as "mature", I ask myself every time, "I wonder what they mean by that?"

    Many think swearing is mature.  I recall being in Grade School and thinking swearing was mature.  I quickly outgrew that notion.  Most think sexual talk and opinions is mature.  Some think political chat is mature as are chats about world issues.  Some even equate dark with mature.

    As others have said, you just need to keep on looking.  Just like seeking a Guild in the first place, this will not be easily accomplished.  Good luck, though.

    You will find the more mature teamspeaks are the ones that don't allow profanity.  Always do research find out how many people are partaking and if that number suits you then go for it.  Don't be affraid to bail on a guild they will get over it.
    Are you onto something or just on something?
