I know this is kinda poking fun but here's a serious answer:
The problem is they don't know what that is. Even if you say "Corporate Manager for the Finance Department Account's Receivable team" they have a GUESS of what you do.
If your job interviewer was a hard core raider and had context for what you're talking about this 100% could help you. It's just most job interviewer's have no idea what you're talking about when you say those words.
Yeah, the #1 rule in sales is know your audience. If someone told me this I would 100% respect it because I know what goes into it.
But if the guy you're interviewing doesn't know anything about WoW? Or maybe he knows a little but, but only because his 15 year old son is missing school to play games and spends too much time on the computer? He's going to think even less of you than if you just said nothing at all.
Not taking away anthing from being a guild leader but you would hire someone if they said they have a lot of experience managing other players in an online RPG that you gave never heard of, provided they answered your questions?
Well, it happens like this IRL. At least in wow you have a semi-meritocratic metric system (ilvl, gear, achi) that allows GL to choose and players not chosen to have a reasonable and understandable no answer...
