Guild Wars 2

I want my guild to be as open as possible while still being stable. I have a bit of an issue. I want to allow all my members to be able to invite people to the guild themselves. However, I don’t want them to be able to promote/demote/kick members. It seems, at this point, that all of those abilities are controlled by the same toggle on the guild rank menu. I think it would be better if each option had a separate toggle.

It would also be nice if we could see the last login date for each member. However, I could see how this might cause some issues with privacy. Then again….. they did join a guild. I suggest this because it makes it hard to know who’s being active when your guild becomes large. As you start reaching the guild cap, you don’t necessarily want to keep a dead-beat player on the roster. Especially if they haven’t been online in weeks.

It would be nice if there was a visible counter for the amount of influence each guild member generates individually. This helps guilds that promote based on level of activity and support for the guild. (Like mine.)

Also, the guild roster only shows the account name when a player is offline, however, this is often not the same as a player’s main character name. It would be nice if we could see a list of the player’s character names when they are offline. Perhaps an option under the right click menu. That would help with administrative tasks such as promotions. I was in a situation where there was a member I wanted to promote, but I wasn’t sure what his account name was. So… he’s yet to be promoted. I have to wait until we’re both online at the same time.

It would also be convenient if there was a way to mass mail guild members and to set up guild polls. It would help in organizing events (dates and times etc). Those should also be listed as toggles in the guild window so officers can assist in administration.

That’s all I can remember for now. I really love the game you guys have made. Thanks for all your work and foe taking the time to read my suggestions.

Cheers for a great launch!

Oh, and my guild members wanted me to say. “We really need a Guild Hall to RP in.” I know you guys are working on it, but I told them I’d say so anyway. Gotta keep my word. :P

I believe the option makes it so they can only kick lower ranks. I just made it so the lowest rank can admin lower ranks so they can invite people who would then be the same rank but they couldn’t kick anyone because no one was a lower rank.

Yeah, you are correct on that point. However, I want my members to be acknowledged for their support of our guild. I do that by promoting members that participate, cooperate, and do right by the guild. I use several ranks to help distinguish those that work the hardest from the guild hoppers.
