Hi Anet, i love GW2 it’s nice and engaging however right now i dont feel Guilds are up to where they should be, here you have a few suggestions compiled from previous threads i’ve seen and that i can agree with.
Latest Activity/Online Notes.
It would be really nice to see how long guildmembers have been offline for. Right now managing a (big) guild can be a real drag. In bigger guilds is easy to lose track of who has been offline for extended periods of time and they’ll just fill space. It’s going to look bad if you have around 100 members and only around 16 member attendance during the day. – Cleaning these people right now is a haphazerdous task, i dont know all of my guildmembers by heart and i dont want to risk accidentally kicking people that have been attending on a semi-regular base.
Member Notes
Being able to add notes to members would be nice (the same way you can do to your friends in your friendslist) – giving people an tag/note can allows for several possibilities like ; help you sort out some of the regulars appart from the common silent brunt. – it also allows you to add notes on anounced inactivity (like adding a note that a member is gone on Holliday) – Maybe it’s an idea to have 2 diffrent notes? (Guild Notes viewable by everyone and Personal Notes viewable only by you?)
Influence Earned
Some guilds care about influence, it’s an unfortunate truth and so some guilds might want the option to see how much Influence a member has earned for their guild. – i suppose you can weed out those that apparently dont contribute to the guild(??) but i encourage someone else to write a better reason.
Last time represented
As much as you dont want inactive/offline members you dont really want permanently non-representing members either. I think we all have those few Guildmembers that switch their representing guild every so often. but it’d be nice to figure out how long someone has not been representing, they’re essentially dead wieght to the guild if they dont represent at all.
WvW : Influence Reward for Holding
One of my biggest gripes at the moment in WvW. Claiming a castle/keep/etc. for your guild right now doesnt do annything except let people know that your guild claimed it. This kinda hits with 2 problems ; that Claiming at the moment is pretty useless except for ego-stroking and that WvW is highly unrewarding when deffending.
My suggestion to this is ; make capturable points slowly generate influence for the guild on an automated base. 1st of it means that claiming these things will actually have some sort of benefit for the guild. 2nd off, it might incite a few people to go on deffence and make sure that they keep their keep. – dont get me wrong, i dont think this is a “fix” to make Deffense in WvW rewarding but i think it might help.
I’d really like to hear everyones opinion about this! Do you agree/disagree? and if so why?
- Do you have a suggestion yourself? Post it in this thread and i’l be sure to add it to the frontpage!
