Guild Wars 2

Hello Arenanet.

There is no method in game to Find people.

You cant /who /find /where or /Find guild /who guild /who locations.

There is then no way to contact a guild or even know what guild people are in unless your right in front of the person, so when you see a banner or a guild name you like you cant even find people from it.

This is important imo to creating a community. and giving it tools.

Yes, please!

Without a feature for /who /find, you cannot track down and join guilds you want to be part of unless there is a message in chat or a person in front of you.

You cant track down the guild leader of a guild thats members are breaking the rules of the game to report them to him.

The solution you suggest is not the simplest solution to the problems you indicate.

If you feel it’s difficult to find the guild to which an emblem/banner belongs to, the problem there is that the emblems and banners need to also indicate the name of the guild leader(s) or vice-leader(s) connected to them.

“/Find” is not an appropriate solution. In my opinion, it’s actually kind of creepy.
We already have a contact system which allows anyone you encounter to track you for all eternity. -shivers- That at least lets me know through my “follower” system.

I don’t want a system that lets anyone track me whenever they please without my knowledge. Only my closest bubbly friends are allowed to do that.

How is it creepy? Your a character not a Facebook page.

You see a banner, you see a large active guild with all the banners food tables etc located in some place in the game, you see the name often but don’t ever see the members.

/find guild name, boom you see tons of ppl online , you pm a leader or officer and ask to join boom your in.

Without /find there is a wall between you and that guild and forming a community.
When you need to go looking on the forum for a guild you want to join in hopes they post regularly or google them to find their website, there is a problem in the game.

Your issue is that the game needs more privacy control options. Unless I’m misunderstanding you, if GW2 had appropriate privacy control then features like /find and /whois wouldn’t be a problem for you.
