Its not necessary but take my example as a pro, my clan (ECLIPSE SOG) is founded by no drama guys, icredibly patient and more than helpful. They plan on vog runs and ask for signups. And on my only run, they understood that i knew nothing and explained all i would need to know before actually doing it. My inclusion into the group doesnt mean i have to do any run with them, but then why would u join? I did so because their mission statement matched my gaming style. Im being rewarded as a result. My group is ps4, west coast and the raid, strike, team gatherings are generally 9pst to 12a. Join if u can, no pressure, oh and u do get that cool tag under your handle.
