Guild Wars 2

Why has ArenaNet still not fixed this, so many months after release?

Larger guilds need multiple leaders, it prevents the guild from becoming leaderless in the case of the founder having a life crisis, or just deciding he/she doesn’t like the game anymore. A guild with an inactive leader is a bad situation.

Guilds need a way to have multiple leaders without total chaos. I don’t give a kitten what your guild philosophy is. I don’t give a kitten that you don’t think this is the case. This is what larger guilds need – it’s an insurance policy against one guy all-of-a-sudden leaving or being unable to run the guild.

Can you imagine a corporation being run with this model? Where a member of the leadership could demote and kick his colleagues at will? It’s ridiculous. No company operates that way, because it’s pure chaos.

I do not have a huge guild like you do dark right now only about 50 people after I got rid of the ones that were not ever on from 93. Anyway when the game started I kept getting kicked from the guild. As I am the leader of the guild and created it that should never of happened, but it did twice. So that made me think what can I do to fix it if it happens again? Like you and other large guilds the solution was create new leaders I promoted four very trusted people to leader. They had the same abilities as I do. Recently I have been feeling the guild needs a boost in people, but people are not listening to me about it. Guild Halls will probably be bought with influence just like everything is for a guild. Ours is kinda flat we need more people to do things with and gain it. Anyway I demoted myself to (which was not a full demotion since it was co leader which I made the other Leaders into co leaders) I found out that because I demoted myself to that and made one of the co leaders the leader I couldn’t reverse it. The point I am trying to make is this instead of having lets say 10 leaders have one leader even if that one leader leaves, cant play for any reason or never logs on again The co leaders can take care of the problems. Like guild wars after 2 months of not logging on that leader gives up their spot to the next in line. Also co leaders cannot kick the leader or each other It is who is on top that is the leader and I do not think that can change please do not quote me on that.

So make the guild creator the Leader then make a new rank just for co leader type whatever you wanna call them. This way everyone knows the structure and it makes it much easier to manage. I really hope this helps your guild come out of chaos

The game needs a promotion system, like Guild Wars 1, where inactive leaders are demoted and either next active is promoted or someone designated as Vice President is promoted. Right now it’s a mess. Guilds are left leaderless when leaders stop playing and then can’t use influence. One thread was about where a leader accidentally demoted himself and the game made some person who hadn’t played in months the new leader.
