Guild Wars 2

A few volunteers have devoted a lot of their time to managing a LFG guild for Fractals.

Due to the lack of nonrepped chat the only really workable way for it to work was to use ranks to denote levels.

Due to absurdly low rank limits we had to create multiple guilds (1-9,10-19,20-29).

Due to the absurdly low max guild limit (5) we had to have admins spread throughout all the guilds.

But we struggled through- doing something ANet should have done themselves, without a modicum of support from the poorly implemented multi-guild system, jumping over a pile of needless restrictions that serve no functional benifit.

However with the recent patch self demotion has been disabled, meaning that members can now no longer update their level- rendering the major benefit of the guild defunct.

Admins cannot possibly be expected to field the amount of work needed to individually update each members level as each tier has close to 400 members, and the work of kicking and inviting members to the next tier is already hugely time consuming.

The guild will still be around, but this post is just to share the needless frustration that ANet continues to heap upon people who are just trying to help the community.

Haven’t you figured it out by now? Anet doesn’t want you to have fun in their game.

I have tried the euro version of a fractal guild, and honestly i was totally choked Anet didn’t gave us the ability to have multiple guild chat window. Why give the ability to have multiple guilds if you don’t give them guild chat, i mean a guild is nothing else than a special chat channel. I was so disappointed.

It just feels like ANet never actually sat down and thought about how multiple guilds would actually work. A competent QA team should have dealt with a lot of these issues prior to release, especially since most of them are likely not hard to implement.

(Not that I’m blaming the QA team, they might have had their hands tied by management for all I know.)
