Guild Wars 2

I am Guild Master of Kingdom Of Tyria a large guild on the northern shiverpeaks server and while I can list several UI additions that would make being a Guild Master much easier there is one that we truly need. “Last Login Date” our guilds are limited to 500 player’s max meaning we have to be able to keep removing inactive players and replacing them with actives players. And without “Last Login Date” we are blind on our guilds activity. Guild wars 1 had it and it made keeping the guild active was very easy (that and only having 100 player but with 500 players in the guild we really need this added). Please look into adding this because the guilds will be one of Guild Wars 2’s biggest assets in keeping players around.

Would be very helpful in guild

This is an amazing Idea, wow imagine how much useful this could be for a large guild who is trying to control thier players? Guys, please bump this up so people can see this awesome idea!

bump, This would be a great idea, along with the other post for adding tools for guilds.
i would still love to see a bbs for guild use and better message of day functionality , ie force it to display to players as they log in.

interesting…this will ease up some spaces in the guild by replacing some deadwoods with active players.

BUMP, awesome idea I totally support it!

This is an excellent idea. Could really help with guild managment and improve the ability to get the appropriate guild members active.

I believe it would be incredibly beneficial to add this into the game. It can’t hurt the game or its players and I believe it would have a lot of positive uses to make the lives of guild leaders everywhere much easier.

Most MMO’s include this feature, it allows for tracking how often players are online. Such tracking measures allow guild leaders to remove members who may have left the game or no longer can log in for whatever reason. It’s essential as a guild leader to control your population by keeping as many active players as possible. This builds a strong social atmosphere and supports the game more when it comes to organizing such things as dungeons, pvp, and wvw.

Adding this would greatly improve the strength of guilds and allow for more cooperation between guilds. it is difficult to organize a good gathering of people for such things as WvW when you see guilds with hundreds of members thinking “Oh they could really help in wvw” when truly only a few are ever on. We all understand you cannot play 24/7, well most of us cant , but there are times when you need to put the guild first and support its active members who do contribute to it. Now is the time to add this feature as soon as is possible. Support active guilds, support social strength, and support our ability to maintain strong guilds that make a difference in the game for the better.

The game is called Guild Wars after all, not AFK wars.

I do believe that this is a good idea; I mean hey! What’s the use of keeping players that never get on?! It can be frustrating to know that someone might have given up on the game when we have already scheduled runs and wvw grouping.

+1
It’s been suggested before, and even GW1 had it. I don’t see why it was, in essence, removed from GW2. It’s a good feature to weed out the game quitters :P

Here’s hoping this gets added in an upcoming patch.

Generally the players at the very bottom of the guild roster are the ones that have not been on in the longest time, right? Also, you can monitor their level (or crafting, achievement points etc) to see if it changes over time. I realize that would be hard to do with 500 members but it’s a step I guess.
