I am assuming that as time goes on and we get more content, more upgrades for guilds will be implemented in-game that we can spend influence on. But as it stands right now, my guild has everything unlocked (even the useless Politics 5) and we are just spending influence on buffs/WvW equipment. We are making more influence than we can use and have built up quite an expense of influence.
At the same time, a sister guild of ours is much smaller and still working on unlocking their upgrades. How much of a problem would it be for guilds to be able to transfer their influence to another guild? I know that we can represent other guilds to build up their influence, but that doesn’t fix the problem that we have 40k influence which we do not need that another guild could use.
Maybe to curb some abuse, if/when alliances are introduced, guilds can trade/transfer influence among their alliance guilds?
