Guild Wars 2

As a small family guild leader I have found it difficult to keep my guild alive,I have tried recruiting, and I have also joined a larger guild to be a part of guild events. With some of the new multi guild updates with Heart of Thorns, and reading some other posts in the forums, I have realized that there are lots of people in my position. So here is what I propose. Why can’t we band together,not as a unified guild but as a coalition of small guilds. This way we can unlock guild content and run them for our respective guilds using people from other small guilds to give us the numbers and to represent our guilds while doing said events. For our part the “coalition” will be run under our guild and we will run our own events etc, and will be there as a central hub to find help for your events. Please contact me for questions, interest or ideas.

Are you talking about making an alliance with a lot of small guilds?

I will have to warn you, not all players will want to do the same events over or does not have time to do them twice, especially if it won’t benefit them by doing another guild’s events, but there will be guilds with people who would want to help others especially if their help is reciprocated.

Wish you the best of luck, this is an Great initiative, I like the idea of smaller/new guilds working together to progress further, but unfortunealty me and my Guild have decided a while ago that we will rather concerntrate on making ourselves Awesome from within rather than making an alliance.

Cya and Stay Awesome Everyone!

I was just alerted that my post not only did not make the whole idea very clear but also that my guild would be put ahead of all other small guilds. That is not what I am striving for. First off let me be clear, I am looking for the small guilds of 15-20 or less. That are trying to grow but aren’t really making it. I propose an coalition of small guilds that have a central hub of communication. If you are doing guild rush and don’t have the numbers, you could guild chat into the guild and not only increase your numbers but we could represent your guild for the duration of the event and get extra favor for your guild. It is a tool for us to use to grow our own guilds. Would my guild benefit, of course it would. But so would any guild that joins.

A problem.
All guilds have different guild missions. Some can be same but…

I’d had a similar idea, Lathias. People that have a ‘primary’ small guild, but are willing to ‘hop’ into other small guilds temporarily to help out with missions so that all of them have a chance to earn favor so they can grow. Obviously their primary guild would come first, but in most cases a schedule could probably be worked out so everyone get a chance to earn favor each week. I had considered creating a Discord server specifically for just such a purpose, but didn’t think anyone would actually be interested.

So far I have interest by several guilds. A lot of then are asking why I would do this, what prompted me to want to use my own guild as a hub for smaller guilds? The idea came when my small guild wanted to claim a guild hall. Only having 3 very active players out of 20 or so there would be no chance of organizing my own guild to do it. So I asked some in a larger guild if the would help. Some very generously did I also asked friends, lfg tool and map. In all we had 9 join us, which was enough, and I am very grateful for their help. The problem was it took the better part of 3 days to get everyone on board and set a time that was convenient to all. So that sparked the idea. There has to be more guilds out there like mine. Small yet comfortable can’t grow because no one wants to join that small of a guild or perhaps they just didn’t want to. All I am proposing is a coalition not an alliance an alliance makes it sound unified like I am asking you to join my guild for our own gain. Where as a coalition is for everyones own interests for a common goal, to grow our own guilds with the help of other small guilds.
