Q:
Inactive Guild members
As a guild leader, surely you already know who your active members are (based solely of their player names not character)? – or are you not that active yourself?
500 people is hard to keep track of and i have over 2800 hrs of game play. GW1 had a system in place to keep track, GW2 should do the same.
I know several guilds who have a special rank. If you haven’t seen a person active for a while, they get that rank (many times the same priveleges as regular players). If an officer sees that person online they put them in the same rank. The log tracks when people got the rank, so you know when it is someone who is truly inactive.
