Guild Wars 2

As many of you know, the guilds are and always will be an essential element for a MMO, but in Guild Wars 2 seems to have been lost many of these fundamentals. I have several proposals to improve the management of the guilds, to exploit them and to ensure that they are what should be in a MMO: a group, a home.

Member Informations

Managing a guild is not easy, and often there is no need to do that the game provides the fundamental elements for the control of those who are in it, such as:

• A timer that marks how long a guild member is offline.
  Guild Wars had this feature, why not bring it back in the second chapter too? It would be useful and important to understand how many people there actually active in large guilds (example: http://oi44.tinypic.com/dbl43l.jpg).
• Guild you are representing.
  Unfortunately, the multi-guilding system is not used as it should, and a lot of people join different guilds to reap the maximum extremely beneficial. Knowing which guild is represented by them, would help to decide against them.

Guild Halls

Yes, I know, lot of people asked for them many times, but I think they’re a lot important for the growth of a guild and as a place of aggregation. On the Guild Wars’ there were merchants, banks and many other things unlockable, why not do it here too? Many guilds would benefit would be more compact only for their existence.

Guild Scores

Guild missions have been added to the game, and most are very nice, but after having made ??several times, except for the commendations, become repetitive and lacking in fun. Why not implement the scores for guilds with the charts as there was for the Challenges of Guild Wars? I think many would appreciate it.

Guild Merits

The limit of 250 merits is reached easily, once unlocked all the missions, and even if you take up every day the +5% gold buff (the only one useful), there is no way to spend them completely, which is quite nosense. Would be useful to implement other buffs stronger than the normal ones such as +10 supply for WvW (obviously with commendations against the normal 5), more banner and consumables.

I hope that at least part of the post is taken into consideration to improve the game, because I think that guilds are the heart of it.

Nice proposals, I quote at all all points; and I Think that Guild Merits could be the “money” that a guild should use to unlock the upgrades of the guildhall.

I quote all points too , and i hope to see some of this improvements for the guild system soon

very nice ideas!!

Very good points, but I need to add a couple of more about the guild message:

- Let us edit the guild message and copy/paste from it. It is frustrating to rewrite the whole message if i missed one letter, or been forced to manually copy the ip address of voice chat (or something else).

- Make the guild message show on the chat panel once you login, it’s much more efficient and GMs can be sure that everyone read it (just like GW1 and any other MMORPG)

I totally agree with you and I hope all of those things will be implemented soon.
