Guild Raids. Hold on before you rage over the R word. Hear me out then flame away.

First, introduce Guild Halls, an instanced area belonging to you guild. This instance can contain all kinds of fun stuff: special craft areas, unique vendors, you name it. All of which is accessible with permissions similar to the guild bank system. The best part of this place: the lobby. The lobby will be a general access area that all players, even those from other guilds can enter. Here comes the good part:

Guild raids – difficult and interesting encounters much like the revamped Tequatl. These special missions must be researched and built just like current missions. However, they are not open world but rather instanced for your guild alone. Completing these raids would give access to unique titles and item skins (for showing off your individual leetness) as well as cool guild trophies to display in the lobby of your guild hall (think Teq’s head on a stake to let other guilds know yours totally rules)

This would create a more defined endgame beyond “go do wvw and make a legendary” without forcing vertical progression on players who have no interest in running the treadmill. If you don’t have a guild, you can still play GW2 like you do now, no changes. If you don’t want to do raids, no worries it doesn’t matter. If you do enjoy a larger-scale coordinated group challenge, this will make you happy. Best of all, it doesn’t change the power balance of the game because they are just skins not better items.

Ok, that’s my idea. Feel free to tell me how GW2 isn’t about whatever it is that you think it’s not about. Teq is fun, gives us more encounters like that but maybe without the mess of open world and overflows.

This should be in the suggestions forums. The guild hall has been suggested many times. The raid for skins part already exists in the form of dungeons. But for the most part, dungeons seem to be neglected.

Furthermore, I haven’t seen Arenanet be able to handle content that scales to more than five people. And no, Teq doesn’t scale.

If you consider WvW and making a legendary the only endgame here, then I’m sorry but you’re playing the game wrong. Actually, everything is endgame, because it’s viable to do even after hitting level 80. I don’t consider traditional endgame raids to be a solution to something that isn’t really that broken.

We need another 400 page of complaint about Anet hate small guild and people threaten to quit the game because their 5 man guild can’t raid.

The “everything is endgame” pitch isn’t flying here. The big empty world isn’t endgame. Endgame is dungeon speed runs, champ trains, wvw, spvp(lol), and sorta legendaries which is more a testament to farming than it is in any way a legendary accomplishment.

So weird that raids turn people off in this game. I love doing dungeons with my group but it’d be nice to bring more than just 4 other guildies to something. Too bad there isn’t any content for more than 5 players. (wvw and those awful world bosses excluded)

I thought they created all that Guild content for those who wanted content for more than 5 players. I don’t think that has anything to do with WvW or World bosses.
