Guild Wars 2

Hi I have a few suggestions/requests for guild upgrades. I think these upgrade suggestions would fit nicely under a new category like Technology or Communications.

1. GPS – Guildie Positioning System: It would be nice to see guildies that are not in your party on the map. You can make them gold dots (as guildies show up as gold names). It can be the current map you are on, the world map, or something you can toggle (for the massive 500+ guilds). It would be super useful for WvW and guild activites.

2. Encrypted Communication Channel: The usual guild chat is nice, but a lot of time we talk about random stuff. It would be nice to have a second guild chat system that we can restrict to certain ranks. It would be useful for leaders and officers to have a channel to keep track of information and tactics discussions.

3. Guild Homing Pigeons: Give us the ability to send out an email to all people in the guild (rep or no rep). Yes I know we have a message board, but I don’t think people constantly check the message board every minute. This would be nice to alert all members of activities that might be happening soon. To reduce abuse/spam we should be able to modify which rank is able to use this feature.

4. Guild Leader/Officer Beacons: Give us something similar to the commander icon, but for guild leaders/officers. The difference is only representing guild members can see this icon when it is turned on. Again this will help lots with WvW if we just want to roam in a small group bigger than 5 and not confuse other players on the map. This will also help a lot with organizing group activities.

5. Guild Map: Right now we can mark things on the map for party members. Can we get something similar but guild wide (this can be toggled per player if they don’t want to see it). And perhaps make the “lines” more persistent. It would be nice to convey routes and stuff for people before hand.
