Guild Wars 2

I would like to see improvements to the guild emblem creator. It would be excellent if players could customize their emblem either by uploading a small logo image directly from their computer, or creating a logo from scratch through a pixel by pixel graph (animal crossing patterns) style interface.

Now I will address the common criticism from the know-it-all skeptics, before they come.

1) This could be exploited and used to display immature images. Even if it were monitored, ArenaNet doesn’t have the time to sort through thousands of guild logo pictures.

- It’s not that difficult. I see gold farmers every once in a while, I see players abusing guild names and abbreviations. I saw a guild named “[AIDS]” composed completely of black humans with afros. I saw guilds using the tag “kitten” and “[IFAG]” with not-so-clever names to legitimize the innapropriate abbreviation. I report these people, and surely enough they get banned. Arena Net doesn’t tolerate this behavior, and the report feature does its job well.

2) There are more important things ANet has to worry about.

- Of course there are. According to this logic, we should never suggest features unless they are absolutely gamebreaking. We should lesser important suggestions and bug reports, only focus on a couple at a time and shoot down all others. I don’t know why people use this argument, as if ANet will shut down their whole facility to focus on a vanity feature.

I know there will be more skepticism, I will address them as they come.
