Guild Wars 2

Hello, I am a guild leader that has recently been having trouble keeping track of my guild member’s activity. There used to be a system where those that haven’t been online in a while would be shown in their Location as Unknown, but now that system seems to be gone and only people that were Unknown before said system was taken out are shown as such. Now I have no way of indicating who bothers to come online anymore, resulting in a huge drop in activity over the weeks in my 500 member guild.

I finally resorted to tracking who came online over 2 weeks (which is ridiculous that I even had to do such a thing) in order to see who actually came on anymore. It resulted in my having to get rid of around 300+ members that simply were not active anymore. Please, is there any plan to put in an actual system to track a guild member’s activity? Was getting rid of the Unknown system a bug?

Yes there needs to be a feature to show “last time online and last time represented”

How are guild leaders supposed to manage a guild or know when to recruit when they have no way to track active members. This is a common feature in modern MMO’s and is sorely needed in GW2.

Exactly, I worked hard to recruit everyone and get up to 500 members, and because there’s no way to track activity in the game within such a huge member pool, I lost so many people without realizing it. I would really like a response from someone on this and tell me what their plans are for helping guilds be more efficient.

For anyone new to GW’s, the first game listed the last time each of your guild members was online. I have no idea how this feature was not implemented at launch be it due to a gross oversight or shortage of manpower. The dev team has made public no intention to address this issue or even acknowledge it. This problem is.just one of many ui centered problems that continue to irritate me, lessening my game experience and.question why anet took 2 steps back when they took leaps forward in other dimensions.

I was surprised this wasn’t in a modern day MMO either.

Yep. There have been so many of these threads asking for guild management tools and not a single Anet person has ever replied to any of them. There’s never once been a mention that this stuff will get added. It’s extremely disappointing.
