Guild Wars 2

Well not exactly in order, but please note:

YOU MUST UNLOCK GUILD BOUNTY FIRST!

Guild trek requires 30 guild merits to unlock.
Guild rush requires 80.
Guild challenge requires 150.
Guild puzzle requires 250 merits.

Guild bounty is the only mission type that does not require merits to unlock.

So if you thought the other missions sounded cooler and started building up those trees for them, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK THOSE MISSIONS, without doing Guild Bounties first!

And they all need to be unlocked in order also

Wow I really wish they would explain things better. I might be blinder and dumber than some other folks, but if I didn’t catch these rules, I bet other people won’t either.

Another thing is that if you see a guild out in the world completing these events you wont get the commendations unless you are repping guild that started the event.

I didn’t understand that they had to be unlocked in order either. I was hoping that all of the guilds in our alliance could research Bounties, then have each guild research a different mission type based on the guild’s size and influence income, thereby allowing alliance members to participate in each type of mission more quickly and allowing each of the individual guilds in the union to contribute meaningfully to the alliance. But with this information it appears that the largest guilds, the guilds with the most influence available to them, will always be the ones at the forefront.

Sad, really. At least without this required order we could be truly allies instead of just tag-alongs.
