Guild Wars 2

What i have been missing are more features for guilds than just the basic ones.
For example what i’m think of:

Character overview (not just account name if user is offline)
Possiblity of adding events on certain days/times (sort of a calendar)
Member statistics:
- How long a player has been a member
- Activity in time spent in WvW/PvE/Spvp
- Activity percentage for set events (for example attended 67% of events since joined)
- Perhaps automatic rank promotion based on activity

I feel features like these would help alot by organising your guild and seperating the good from the bad.

LAST LOGGED IN. definitely, I wouldn’t say no to LAST REPRESENTED either.

Yeah forgot that one! does seems like we’re the only ones :P

Last activity / last represent is definitely long past due. Other ideas would be:

• Per member, Time since last partied up with guild (don’t try storing what the party did because the database would get huge): This is to weed out “lone wolf” or people who spend most of their time with another guild and switch back to feed off guild bonuses.
• Whole guild stats:
• Average influence / day, week: to plan if guild can afford constant use of upgrades
• Counter for PvE events, Dungeon runs, WvW events in the last month: for officers to see what members like doing, and for members to see what kind of guild it is

Of course there’ll be the idea that people who are shopping for a guild can get turned away because of undesirable numbers, but this practice should be pretty limited.

I disagree with automatic promotion, because if a guild member gets hacked they’ll automatically rise up from being a bot and possibly get the guild’s bank cleaned out or other nasty stuff like that. This would also cause havoc in big guilds because someone may decide after grinding 200 DEs and getting auto-promoted that they’ll kick everyone.

There is a very good article that talks about nice-to-have guild features.

It’s WoW specific, so they are probably missing a few things that WoW has implemented over the centuries, but GW2, in its infancy, is still missing. But this can at least add a few bullet points to the list of things to add for whoever at ANet gets stuck with adding guild features.
