Guild Wars 2

Hello
I’ve been playing GW2 for a couple months now and would like to share my thoughts and suggestions about a couple things in the guild system since I find it silly at times.

1. Multiguilding is one of the features I was looking forward to when I bought GW2. Having the chance to be part of more than just one small community is nice, except that… It doesn’t feel like that at all. What I’m suggesting here is to allow us to see all of our guilds chats in different tabs. This would help a lot with feeling part of the guild. I see no point in joining multiple guilds if I can’t be an active member in all of them. As for influence gains I think it makes sense to only give it to the guild you are actively representing, but what’s the sense of not being able to chat with my other guildies?

2. Server bound influence. This is the one feature I most dislike in GW2. I know why it’s there (or I think I do), to prevent WvW guilds from switching servers too often. Yet I’m seeing they are switching servers anyway while this feature is giving me an horrible experience.
I had no idea of how it worked exactly when I joined the game, I knew I could join WvW only on my home server, but I don’t care a bit about it and guesting was already here, so I just picked a friend’s server and only joined my guild when I hit 80. Imagine how happy I was to find out I had no upgrades unlocked, no bank, no missions, no way to give them my influence, the only thing I have is guild chat. Almost feels like I’m in another guild. I’ll buy a transfer eventually, but my guild’s server is Gandara, meaning I need 50-60g just to feel part of my guild. Not gonna happen for a while.
I think guilds should have an home server, while still being able to accept players from every other server. This way all guild members should be able to benefit from upgrades (except WvW ones) and contribute with their influence.
With the guild being tied to the server, only players that reside on said server should benefit from WvW upgrades. If a guild wants to change home server, give them an option to do so and just wipe their WvW upgrades (Or well, wipe every upgrade if you feel like, guess it’s the same).

Any thoughts?

Ps. English’s not my native language, I probably tortured some poor verb, I’m sorry

I don’t know if I should but I’m bumping this.

Btw I’d love to have a way to tell how many views it has w/o hunting the thread a bazzillion pages back, so I know people were just not interested over not seeing it because it got submerged. The bump will tell me that at least :P

I agree we should be able to see guild chat in separate tabs of all the guilds we represent. Each guild chat can be a different colour to help us remember which is which.

I find the multi-guilding system redundant with not being able to see the guild chats of the other guilds. It actually segregates the guild communities in my opinion.

Wouldn’t it be more convenient to use a single chattab per guild? I don’t know how lively the guildchat is, but if i’d be in 4 clans like the one i’m in now, having the chat in the same tab would allow me to see more chat than /say and /map in la…

But it would be handy indeed for ppl that are in more guilds.

I’m not sure on what you’re talking about here, whether it is a very busy chat or an almost desert one

Anyway once we have the ability to see more than just one guild chat we should be free to manage them however we like using filters. So you could have all of them in the same chat or in different tabs, you could have /guild1 in one tab and /guild2 /guild3 combined into another one. Different colors would come in handy if someone wants to have them all in the same tab tho or you won’t be able to tell who’s replying to who and so on.
