Oh that makes me just furious.
So sick of elitist jerks-and not the website. Sorry that it happened to you, guild drama like that is the main reason my guild of 33 toons is really just a bank guild that includes myself, my best friend, my brother's toons, my sister and two coworkers. Mostly my friend and I have elveled it completly from scratch ourselves, we're almost to level 25

You will like having a small guild with just your friend-you can use guild chat while in instances or raids together and not have to worry about people butting into your conversations. Also getting achievements actually feels like a major deal when you are a very small guild. And having the guild bank and any tabs you get for it all to yourself is really, really nice for all the extra storage-anything we want to hold onto that is not soulbound-transmog gear for alts, materials, cloths, potions etc, we just toss in there to use when we need it.
Good luck on the guild with you and your buddy, and the offer has been made elsewhere but if you need to join a guild in Garona you are welcome to look up my guilds and join in though there are not that many people in the guilds, hah. My main toon, Shadé, is the guild leader of the lager Alli guild while my horde main, Raikó, is the leader of our much, much smaller guild (we don't play horde that often, heh).
