Guild Wars 2

I really wish Arena net can do something to make it easier for smaller guilds to be able to get some of the things bigger guilds MUCH faster. Our guild for instance, only consist of 6 people. Me my wife, my best friends and their wives. Our children get on quiet often which is why we are small. There are to many …. Undesirable’s ….. to add anymore. We have a extremely hard time being able to unlock the guild puzzles and missions because we are not able to get enough merits or influence. Also.. a lot people CANNOT do the jumping puzzles, its just not their thing. Honestly some of them are extremely difficult. I understand why, and I am good with it. However others that have trouble, cannot only not do the puzzles, but then you add a story achievement to the end of it, and now, they cannot do that either. I think if there was a little more balance for the smaller guilds, you may even see more people on here. Something’s are just TO difficult for the normal everyday player.

I will make it PERFECTLY clear I am not putting down Arenanet one bit. We really enjoy the game, but it has become a little impossible for some of us to get certain rewards and achievement’s. It really sucks when you do everything but a jumping puzzle, and it stops you from getting a special reward.

All comments welcome.

Totally agree, large guilds will always have an advantage.
Just means smaller guild have issues.
I don’t understand a game where every group orientated is 5 players guilds need to be in their hundreds to enjoy content

Not exactly half the game content, but generally I agree with you. The bar is set quite high for the guild mission content and its led to the death of small guilds in general.

about the “cannot do the jumping puzzles”! It’s not you. It’s the controls. Once you get a nice gamepad or some good keybinds and you’ll get familiar with it you’ll learn and become better. Believe me, I was terrible at JPs in the beginning. G13 changed my gamer-life.

Well when you are going out to do the guild bounties and such…. recruit people to go with you they don’t have to be in your guild to go along and help.

Join another guild(s) with higher player count you can be in with 5 guilds and when they are doing the bounties for that guild you rep them and then rep your own guild when doing yours…. line up your time to do bounties right after theirs is done and you scratch their back and they will scratch yours. Five smaller guilds can all be in the same guild(s) together forming an alliance that could all promote each other to higher levels than the single guild could get to. I know you don’t want Kittens in your guild but you might want to consider the options already available before you try for a suggestion to fix it.

I totally agree with the fact smaller guilds are being kicked out of a lot of content, I am in a small guild as well, and we don’t intend to recruit anyone, anymore, since people with this “Represent guilds as if they were accessories” behaviour destroyed our old, bigger guild.
I think that to make it fair, influence needed to unlock and upgrade should be somehow “scaled” to the number of members of the guild.
I won’t ever represent another guild just for this content, I am loyal only to this guild I am in.

I agree with the fact that i think that smaller guilds should not be at such a disadvantage in game content just because they are not willing to recruit every billy, bob and joe they meet. Being the leader of my own smaller guild we like to keep it smaller and more intimate and find ourselves struggling to be able to complete guild missions because of it.

I get where your coming from with what you said Gummy, however, its pretty tough to coordinate with another guild to do things like that together and we really prefer to mostly keep to ourselves. Thats kinda the point of being a smaller guild :P

The whole rest of the game scales down to the number of players attending. So should guild influence, upgrades and activities. The more members you have the more influence you gain the more influence you need to buy upgrades. Makes sense to me.
