Guild Wars 2

I’m part of a small guild that has never wanted to be “large” We just wanted enough close friends to hopefully fill out a dungeon/fractal group most evenings. Unfortunately as with most smaller guilds its hard to keep an active enough membership to do this. ANet seems to heavily favor large guilds with all the guild missions content, and larger guilds seem to ignore the fact that Anet allows each player to be part of 5 guilds and forces 100 representation on its members. So as soon as we get a couple new members to bolster our ranks, they leave to join larger guilds that are requiring them to rep full time in order to get their weekly missions done. It becomes a catch 22, we can’t field a large enough group to give them what they want immediately, and if they don’t stay we will never be able to do so.

We have been able to unofficially ally ourselves with a couple other smaller guilds to help. Talks of merging these smaller guilds has come up on several occasions, but no one wants to be the group that abandons their own guild that they have worked hard for to merge into one of the others. They fear they will always be seen as the red headed step child when it comes right down to it.

I would like to see a tool that would truly “merge” two guilds. In the process it would require a new guild name, erase any logo or ranks, keep the highest upgrade of either guild and combine all influence, merits, built upgrades, etc. The two leaders would be set as leaders and everyone else as base members to be reassigned ranks. This way its a true merge and neither groups can be seen as the one that gave up their guild. One issue to be addressed would be guild storage, which might have to be emptied prior to the tool being used.

I like this idea +1

Somethign that really needs to be done. just making sure too, that influence gets merged too.

Guild Fusions should work basically like Transmutations Stones.

You choose 2 Guilds, then the Guild Leaders decide together:

1. Which Guild Name stays, or decide themself together to give the nw merged Guild a new Name and who is to decide how the new Name should be.

2. Which Guild Logo is to be take, or if a new Guild Logo should be made setting the Logo to default, until a new Logo has been made by a Guild Leader

3. All Members of the Guilds merge together, if the member amount would surpass member limit borders,the fusion won’t work, until the limits have been increased.

4. All influence merges together of both guilds, the Guild Traits that are from both guilds the highest traited ones, become the default guild ranks of the guild perks for the fusioned guild.

So if a guild with maxed politics for example merges with a guild, that has maxed Arts of war, then the merged guild is maxed out in both guild perks

5: All members that were officiers ect. will get automatically reduced to the status of beign members, just only the guild leaders stay and have to rank up everyone again to offiers ect.

Just a quick brainstorming, but I think thats the way how id liek to get this implemented into GW2.
Guild Fusions should be able to be made. Theres nothing that I could think of, what coudl be a negative reason not to brign this idea into the game.
