So the original Guild wars as you all know, had a " guild v sguild" mode. This was seperate from the normal, plain pvp mode.

Where is this in GW2?

I realize WvWvW could essentially be GvGvG, however, what about the small guys? Besides the pre arranges GvG fights, there is nothing to pit a guild vs another guild.

There isn’t even an official way to track a guilds achievements in WvWvW. Where is the GvG love!!!!

The game is named from the lore revolving around THE guild wars. I didn’t do a lot of GvG in GW1, but it is definitely a system I would love to see brought to GW2. I’m sure it is on the list of stuff they want to do. They said they want to work on existing systems first though before adding new ones.

Even a way to track a guilds achievements in WvWvW would be cool, and something WvWvW wise for guilds to work towards.

Leaderboards are rumored I THINK for WvW. I might be thinking just of sPvP though. But yes, that would be very cool. Not sure how you would track guilds though. I can see individuals being tracked based on certain criteria. Like # of supply camps capped etc.

THE Guild Wars lore is fairly silly in this regard, anyway. I’ve never seen nor felt any remarkable correlation between THE Guild Wars and anything that has ever happened relative to any guild I’ve been involved with in GW1 or 2.

Anything that happens in the fabled PvE, even considering the group events and guild missions and what-not, is still entirely separate from whatever guild I may have done it with.

And uh… you won’t catch me trying to roleplay a connection between lore and guild, to compensate: how unfathomably tedious that could be.

Daoc Did it.

You could track Kills, Keep takes, supply takes, badges earned…All kinds of cool stuff. I realize bigger guilds would of course have better stats, but it would still be cool to be able to track this information.

It’s just the name they came up with that sounded cool at the time and couldn’t really change afterwards. Really a minor complaint. Just don’t think about it and it shouldn’t bother you too much.

20v20 is not my cup of tea. I know there are pre aranged fights like this, but I was was looking for something like GW1 had. I’ll just have to wait and see what this update brings. T1 doesn’t seem to have many 5mans running around either.

Open world consensual guild vs guild and pvp would be alot of fun (sandbox player controlled is always more fun). But i do not think Anet will ever implement it, because they have already set up WvW, and PVP to be strictly dictated and game generated scenario based gamestyle.

You do know that the name Guild Wars came from the event in the lore of Guild Wars?

Give a man fire, he will be warm, set a man on fire, he will be warm forever! …or dead…
