Guild Wars 2

It would be nice to be able to post announcements to all guild members regardless of their representation. This would encourage a lot more guild activity, since when representing one group, you miss out on everything the other group is doing.

Yes you can PST, but my guild tried this and the problem has been such: someone wants to do a dungeon, so they ask guild and then PM those not representing that do not look busy. 20 minutes later another member wants to do a different dungeon and asks the guild then PMs those that do not look busy. That is a hassle, and inconvenient. Players are more inclined to remember the five PMs they get while trying to craft than the one that includes them in a dungeon they needed.

Limit such a feature to guild leaders only, so it couldn’t be spammed or abused by guilds that might set it as a default permission. You only ever see messages from guild leaders of guilds you are in.

The way I see it is a yellow message in the chat window, something along the lines of server reset announcements or event text (maybe teal. Im fond of teal.) that would say, for example, “Kismet of [Merc] Announcement: Guild dungeon runs in one hour, PM or represent to grab a spot.” or “Kismet of [Merc] Announcement: Call to arms, we just claimed Stonemist. Assist in fortification and defense if you can.”

Quick, easy, less intrusive and distracting than PMs, simpler than alliance chat channels, encourages more guild activity and participation among multi-guild members.

Thoughts?

This would be a nice feature even with multiple guild chat enabled, when/if they ever introduce that feature.
