Guild Wars 2

I haven’t played Guild Wars 1 but coming into GW2 I was expecting something of a GvG experience rather than a Server V Server. I love WvW, its fun but joining a guild currently is useless, nothing to do. Going into WvWvW 2 or 3 of the top guilds control everything from commanding the rest of the server, I have no issue with that. The problem I have smaller guilds don’t have a way to shine or show off themselves. Your thoughs on this please community.
I personally wish to GvG style matches, Guild competing for territory or stuff or something along that line.
With that being said I want to also see more guild related options such as being able to see all the Guilds on the server, Option to apply to a guild, see their details such as leader, member count and basic info about it.

Problem with GvG is, the last guild war ended withthe begining of GW1. There hasn’t been one since. It’s what, 250 years later i think?

Wouldn’t fit with the current lore. Least that is how I understand it. could be wrong tho.
