Guild Wars 2

Is there a reason that Guilds are capped at 500 members and you are only able to join 5 guilds?

The first part I’m not overly concerned about I was just wondering what the logic behind it was.

The second, however, I have found myself guildcapped -_-. I have my personal guild (for bankspace), my main guild, an officers guild (since there is no officer chat, for meetings and such), an alliance guild (guild that contains WvW players on our server for coordination), and a friends guild (that is on another server that I guest to and rep and help them at times).

In order to have space for everything, I had to leave a guild that I started with another friend at launch, which was mostly inactive but it was still a little sad. I’m not necessarily complaining, but I am curious about the logic behind 5 guilds here as well, and if there is a reason that it could not be increased at some point in time?

My guess is that it is for anti-bots bot’s use guild banks to transfer ill got gold between the bots and the selling characters. (this is why the yaks got the nerf hammer about a week ago.)

Additionally its to prevent a player from getting unlimited storage. If there was no guild limit a player could just keep opening new guilds for storage space.

Realistically you shouldn’t need to be in more than one guild. As you previous stated the reason you use multiple guilds is because there are not features in available in GW2 that should be. (Officer chat, Alliances) So I would suggest complaining about these rather than the guild cap.

One thing to keep in mind is that guilds are not supposed to be used as extra, free, storage. They are supposed to be used for building groups of friends.

I don’t know. I just know that the guild system is among the poorest I’ve seen. Sure, they should increase caps, but also make it per character and not per account on the guild roster. GW2 far too favors exclusive mega-guilds.
