Guild Wars 2

Why is it impossible to enjoy activities as a guild?

- I want to play Lunatic Inquisition with my guild. I’m 100% sure this game is never played as it is intended. Currently people just suicide to become a ghost and get more points. Not a single villager teams up and coordinates. If you would play this as a guild, villagers would team up, lay traps, ambush the ghost. It would actually be possible for the villagers to win this game through fighting, instead of just finding a lame hiding spot and afk’in for the rest of the game.

- I want to play Snowball Mayhem with my guildies, not some random players

- I want to race my Guild in Winter Wonderland

- I want to race my Guild in The Clock Tower

- I want to play Keg Brawl with my Guild

- I want to play Sanctum Sprint with my Guild. I mean, how AWESOME would this be.

- …

It can’t be that hard to implement this, so why don’t you?

No, instead i have to come up with my own open world activities to do as a christmas party for my Guild. Spending 10g on Snowman tonics for everyone just so we can have a snowball fight and keep score. Finding a cool JP to race with my guildies, …

You already have all the activities i need, will you please stop forcing me to use hotjoin for all of them !

The game is called Guild Wars 2, yet Guilds have such little functionality compared to the original game.

The name Guild Wars is because of “The Guild Wars” that happened in the lore, by the way, between the nations and such.

I always love it when people bring this up. It’s pretty misleading then, don’t you agree?

It’s like calling your game Driving Simulator 4, and making it a platformer.

Allowing players to join activities in groups would just allow them to be more easily exploited. Groups would enter them with the intention of cheating to increase their rate of rewards or to simply trade achievements.

Personally, if I could get a solo instance, I could easily double the rewards out of activities like Sanctum Sprint, Clock Tower or Bell Choir because I wouldn’t have to wait for other people.

If ArenaNet was going to make an option, I would expect them to handle it like custom arenas. All rewards would be removed to prevent botting.

Well i would be perfectly fine with a “Guild Instances do not contribute towards achievements, nor give rewards” option. I just want to have fun with people I know!

I care so little about the ‘awesome reward’ this game provide, i just want to do these awesome activities with my guildies and friends!

I smile every time I see someone say something like this.

This. I’ve been saying this since the begin of those stupid daily activities. Give us an option to join with an “Guild Only” group! I don’t care for the rewards, I’ll give the rewards myself for the top scorers!

These are great guild activities that guilds can schedule as weekly events! Growing their community, coming closer together and actually have more stuff to do then Guild Missions and homebrew events.

Also in addition to your list:
- Crab Toss
- Southsun Survival
- Aspect Arena
- Dragon Ball
- Bell Choir

I’d like to suggest that Guilds can unlock these activities for their guild hall, so that they can be instanced from there!
