Q:
Causal Players Discriminated
GW2 is already pretty solo-friendly.
Asking for guilds, which are specifically groups of players to be progressed by a single person seems excessive to me.

As Danikat already said, gw2 is already solo-friendly, and guilds are by definition an association of people with a common goal. To make all guild stuff available to solo is just against all it is mean to be and I am fully against that.
That being said, if you really want to ‘solo’ a guild, while you will have to put in tons of work, time and gold, you can advance your guild by yourself already. For favor, most easy missions can easily be done solo, and also many of the others.
Your thread title is misleading. Casual =/= solo. Try, “Solo Guilds Disadvantaged.”
The thread title is going to attract the wrong people.
The game is completely solo-able (except party stuff obviously) and the guild stuff is aimed towards community, so not going to get much done by yourself, 5 player guilds are doable though.

I agree. I’d say trying to build up a guild solo is pretty hardcore. It’s certainly difficult even without the favour requirement.
But also while the lack of clear and consistent definitions is one of the biggest problems with labels like ‘casual’ I’ve always thought of casual gamers as more inclined towards being social.
I would describe myself as a casual (or at least semi-casual) player and I always like to join a guild in MMOs because I like having people to chat to and ask my stupid questions to as and when I think of them. And being able to do group content with people who I know have a similar attitude to it and who will put up with my stupid mistakes like not dodging in time.

I am a casual player and dont go in for having 3-15 ppl play with me. Just like to progress on my own and enjoy the game. Here is the thing,I also made a guild which I am very happy to be the “only” member but cant obtain any favor to ones progress needed to obtain guild stuff. Cant GW2 have some tasks or game content to allow us the nomads to obtain needed xp points and favor that we may enjoy it as well without having to listen to others, who are pure annoying with how great they think they are in fights etc to gain a few xp points and favor? Come on GW2 at least make it so I can enjoy progressing my guild without relying on others.
It is possible to earn favor for a 1 person guild. Some missions can be soloed, some can be leeched.
PVE Missions:
easy bounty (1 boss) – can be soloed (some bosses easier than others, just restart if it is a hard one or hope for random help)
easy trek (5 targets) – can be soloed
medium trek (10 targes) – can be soloed if you have a fast connection/fast pc (you need short loading times and a little luck with the targets)
any race – can be leeched
WvW Missions:
Obsidian JP – can be soloed
Oasis collection – can be leeched
PvP Missions:
dont think any can be soloed.
It will take longer because you wont be able to get the maximum amount of favor each week, but upgrading a guild hall will be slower anyway due to only 1 person gathering stuff.
The only part that I believe is impossible to solo is claiming the guild hall (just asked some random people to help me after failing 3 times).
