So I know this topic has been brought up many, many times and I know thakittens already been said that the answer to Guild vs Guild is no, however I am going to talk about some interesting points that may give you another think about Guild vs Guild in Guild Wars 2 and no I am not just gonna say it should be in the game because its called guild wars so just take a seat and read through what I wrote. (post is quite lengthy)
How its going to work:
So to unlock guild vs guild a guild would have to unlock it using influence and guild merits. It is going to cost a lot of both so you make sure that the guild fights aren’t too small and only a bigger guild could make that amount of merits and influence. Once you unlocked it your leader gets the option in the guild panel to invite another guild to a guild battle. You can only invite guilds in your region (EU or NA) The menu for inviting another guild will be under the guild missions tab. In the invitation you can specify how many people are allowed in each guild and how many rounds is the battle going to be (best out of 3 for example). If the guild leader declines well he declined it and that’s the end of that but if he accepts the leader gets the roster of people in his guild. He then chooses the people that he thinks should do the battle and they get an invite. If some of them decline he gets the menu again and chooses again. There is going to be information about how many of which class he chose displayed to him so he knows he has a good combination of classes. The number of people allowed on both teams is the maximum you can have but the leader can say his guild is ready even if he doesn’t have that many people. Once your guild is ready you are going to be automatically taken to an instance similar to those in wvw except smaller where your guilds get 5 mins to prepare. Once that is done you charge into battle and whoever wins more rounds wins. There will also be a time limit so people don’t just hide. Also your guild leader will have your guild banner displayed on the mini map so you don’t get lost. You get guild merits, banner tonics, influence, karma and GUILD REPUTATION (will talk about guild reputation later). You can do guild battles for multiple guilds if you so wish but obviously can’t do two at the same time so you won’t show on a guilds rooster for choosing gvg people if you are already in a middle of a gvg.
Benefits of adding this to the game:
The answer to this is quite simple actually. To add more end game and more stuff for the hardcore players to do. If people could do more stuff with their guilds i’m sure they would stop complaining about lack of end game. This will also further expand this guild system and make you guild community that much better because most of your friends in gw2 are from your guild after all.
Reputation and unlocking stuff in guild panel:
So once you get reputation you are going to be able to buy of course more plain upgrades that aren’t nothing special but you can unlock more awesome and permanent stuff. I’m talking about guild villages and guild halls. Now i’m not gonna talk about how much reputation its gonna cost but the more houses you want to have the more you have to pay to upgrade your village so for every 10 houses its x amount of reputation. But these houses aren’t free of course and this is where you guys make money. To rent a house (there is no buying in case you quit and your guild doesn’t want you to have a house anymore) you have to pay with gems and once you use your rent ticket you will get a specific house for a month.
House features and upgrades:
Your house is going to serve as a second bank separate from your guild and personal one. They are however gonna be shown in the same window so you can transfer items between them super fast. You can upgrade this houses functionality by spending guild commendations to add storage. You can buy house decorating guides in the gem store however to edit the looks and how much space your house has.
Guild hall features and upgrades:
Now your guild hall will be a kind of community gathering place that replaces LA and your entire village can be visited by other people if they go to a portal. You go to your guild village by going through a portal after which you get a window which you choose a village from. Your leader can re-name it. Your guild hall can be upgraded to allow for further expansion of your village and adding things like portals to pvp, wvw and crafting stations.
In conclusion that’s pretty much my entire idea and if you made it this far i salute you :).
Some things are a bit unrefined but Arena Nets job is to come up with ideas so :D
I just hope Arena Net realizes how happy the players would be for more end game and more content. You can put this in the next expansion if you so wish but id be happy with it just being in the game. Its pretty much money to be earned for Arena Net and content to play for us :D
