Guild Wars 2

The inability to see chat from guilds you are not representing is one of the biggest issues facing my guild today.

I think the ability to be in more than one guild is a fantastic feature, but a lot of its potential is lost due to this one omission.

Not being able to communicate with all of a guilds members who are online forces guilds to attempt representation percentage policies which are very difficult to implement due to the limited guild tools.

If we could simply read the chat for all guilds we are members of a lot of those policies would become unnecessary.

I have some hope that when the authenticated API is released (which is supposed to include access to guild chat) that we’ll be able to see chat for guilds we are not representing through a 3rd party program, but ideally we need this in-game. Not everybody has a 2nd monitor or wants to use an overlay.

If necessary it could be read-only, requiring a rep switch to actually talk. Chat text itself might be a slightly darker shade of gold and preceded with the guilds tag. EDIT: Ooh, just thought, right click on the tag for a context menu that allows you to switch rep.

Were I A-net boss for a day, I think this would be my #1 quality of life issue.

Agreed being able to see Guild Chat from all my guilds would be great! I would want a filter for “All Guilds” and “Repping Guild” though. That way I can have a tab for “All Guild” chat that can flash for me when my other guilds are talking.
