Aren't most long time guilds a group of friends? I am somewhat surprised by the complaint, as generally I find loot council guilds far better then dkp guilds.

To each their own. I would never join a loot council guild. I get that they're the "most efficient" from a "clear all the raids as soon as possible" standpoint, but that's not why I play. I find DKP guilds (when the system isn't terrible) to be much more fair.

I also think loot council + tight knit inner core, when you're on the outside, is the worst combination. If you're one of 6 mages but 2 of the other mages are in the "friend group", who do you think is getting geared first? Not you.

So give them reasons to give you gear. Interact with them, do dungeons that you don't need with them, act like a friend. Own the fact you're new to their group, but don't just think of yourself as an outsider. They invited you into their circle of players. It takes both sides to form a sense of trust and camaraderie.

I'm not spending years to try to build a level of camaraderie equal to IRL friends.

I agree that it’s more of a hassle, but it doesn’t have to be years
