Guild Wars 2

Right now, we can’t really do much to encourage people to represent guilds to earn influence other than make guild rules and promote guild loyalty – and a few other things.

On my old game, I loved to at least try to hold contests and parties for my guildies. Sometimes we’d have crafting fairs and hold a contest the week before to see who could send in the most items, and we’d hand out prizes to whoever donated the most. While I plan on doing this as my guild over here grows, I’d like to do this for influence, too. It’d be a simple contest to see who earned the most influence over a set period of time.

It’d also be nice from a non-contest/fun point of view. If a member (especially in a full or just large guild) is earning little to no influence, or not representing the guild very often, the leader could then see that and kick them out.

Maybe this could also open doors to a server or game-wide influence contest or achievement? Daily/weekly/monthly/yearly?

well remember you only earn influence when doing things with other guild members so just ask around you can find the people that don’t group with anyone

Incorrect, you earn influence no matter what you do. It’s about 2 influence per heart or Dynamic Event solo, and some amount I can’t remember for sPvP matches (I believe). You earn slightly more influence if you are grouped up doing events and such as a team. So unfortunately your suggestion doesn’t always work, except for maybe some guilds/situations.
