       Greetings To All FOTM Members

       Hey ya'all!
       Greetings and Salutation to all FOTM members.
       My name is Stalvros.
       I'm one of the owner for the guild 'Fractals Of The Mind'.
       I shall start by narrating more on the guild's history.
       To be honest, it didn't really start with me loving Fractals.
       Basically, it all started with farming awesome unique gears and
       ascended equipments.
       Being the newb I am, I was quite unaware of FOTM back in those
       days and I thought that the only way to get ascended gears
       is via laurels purchase! (Which sucks because 1 laurel per day
       and 10 per monthly isn't going to cut it really). So then I
       begin to
       look for other methods to gain ascended gears and FOTM came up.
       To my surprise, you can actually get a lot from FOTM
       - FOTM skins weapons.
       - Decent gold farming.
       - 20 slot bags (I mean come on, they cost like 10 gold each on
       the TP)
       - Awesome unique back item that somehow show that you're not a
       noob player
       My very first fractals was swamp! Believe it or not, even though
       my PR was 1, I joined 10 the other day.
       Amongst all the fractal stages, surprisingly I found swamp to be
       the hardest >_<. I think back in those days,
       we had to reset like more then 30 times just to clear it due to
       poor co-ordination and bad sense of direction.
       (Little that I know it was the most desired stage on 40+)
       Everything I've learn in FOTM; it's secrets, short-cuts,
       effective way of killing the boss, I learn from pure experience.
       I do not use guides, watch videos or anything like that. With
       those experience I've developed my own build as well
       as path allocation in FOTM thus clearing it effeciently and
       effectively. Back in those days, getting your PR up from 4
       is hard enough as it is as there are not that many FOTM players
       even on gw2lfg as everyone just wanted to farm COF.
       It was really pure hard work but before you know it, I've got 4
       of my chars doing FOTM and they're all above PR10 at
       the moment. That's when I meet more people who loves FOTM as
       much as I do. I mean, how many times do you have to
       do Jormag event before you get a decent drop that FOTM can give
       anyways? That was when I realize that it's not that
       people hate FOTM. It's just that sometimes you get crappy pugs,
       not many people know the shortcuts and stuff making
       FOTM the least desirable dungeon to run as compared to other
       dungeon!
       That was when I created the guild in hope that everyone who
       desires the same thing as I did could join me in my quest
       towards farming the BEST end-game (at this moment) equips the
       game has to offer without having to use laurels to get
       them. As you know, it all begins with a few members, but I did
       not realize that we actually get more then 20 members
       in less then a week >_<.
       ..... and of course, I am generally quite a fun-easy-going
       member. I do not require anyone to rep 24/7 and I'm not one of
       those guys who'll PM everyone and force them to rep or I'll
       kick. People should be able to have the freedom to choose to
       rep any guild they want; but I do say that you will be required
       to rep the guild whenever you do FOTM runs. In the end,
       these points that you contributed will be invested in guild
       missions which will give you guild commendations for you to use
       to purchase ascended accessories WITHOUT the use of laurels. So
       please help me..... help you.....
       My final message for everyone in this guild would be;
       'Theres no shortcut in life, if you want something you have to
       work hard for it'
       But this doesnt mean you have to fight alone! We're all here
       fighting beside you, guiding you through whatever it is
       you have to go through in order to reach that perfection! So use
       this opportunity to improve yourself! Only you can
       make yourself a better someone then yourself yesterday :).
