Guild Wars 2

Yeh might be useful in Guild Panel.

but here’s something in the meantime..

Inactive Guild members and possible tool post

For now until they have that implemented, you could go to the leaderboards for achievement points, log in, select your guild and check when the achievement points of your members were last updated (shows when you mouseover). It is what I use to track activity until something more solid is implemented.

We also use the leaderboards, but it takes a LOT of unnecessary time. Especially when you reach 500 members.

As a fellow guild leader I second this opinion with all my heart.

+1 OP
They should definitely add this feature.

Perhaps rather than creating the “Offline Timer” ANET could simply implement the, already available, system they have in place on the leaderboards.

Just adding in another Column into the guild panel with the date of the last earned Achievement Point would be more than enough.

Ok, you may worry that it’s not completely accurate… but taking into account that for each daily achievement you do you get +1 Achievement Point… I challenge someone to play the game for an hour without gaining a point. I dare say it’s near impossible unless you stand in LA and then go shopping for an hour.

The Technology is already there, ANET simply need to implement it!

No thank you. We don’t need stalkers.

Luckily, your statement is completely irrelevant when it comes to the subject of this thread.

Now, if this thread was about adding the ability to add someone to your friendlist without their consent and see exactly in which location they are (even when players block you) then your statement would be valid.
…..oh wait, guild wars 2 already has all those things.

Anyway, yes this feature should have been in gw2 from day one. Just like gw1.

This is a thread created based on the big guild thread in the old suggestions section. That was over a year old.:

The “Last online” option is in that list. Would not be enough however, also need last representing and best would even be a percentage of representing because people can switch between guilds.

Those things are also all in that list so it’s better to keep it in one place in stead of spreading it out over multiple threads.
However it’s a suggestion done more then a year ago, it’s not much work to implement and still is not here so it looks like ArenaNet just don’t care about these sort of things. Or at least is has the lowest possible priority.

That is kinda awesome Devata. I still remember that thread. Thanks for bringing it back!

Thanks. As i said in the OP. It has been suggested before… yet still nothing done about it.

In all honesty I really don’t care about “non-representers” All i want to know is if that player is still active or not. They can represent as many guilds as they like, at least I can see if they are representing or not in the guild roster so that’s not really broken so doesn’t need fixing, so the Percentage thing is a bit pointless too.

Personally my guild has a “Must Represent at all times” rule. So I just kick people who don’t represent anyway as we gain nothing from them and they gain nothing from us so they are just dead weight. Main problem is that we can’t even tell if they have been online in the past 6-months… it’s just mind blowingly incredible that ANET have still neglected this simple addition to the Guild panel.

Seriously, pay for my flight over there and I’ll personally come and add in the code myself… That is how much I want it! (I don’t know what code they use and have no clue how to code games… I would Learn on the plane ride over there lol)

When I read your first alinea I was like “they probably have a must represent rule” and then you confirmed that.
Yeah when you have a rule like that it’s not problem, you don’t need a last represented but if you allow people to represent multiple guilds (Pretty much what Anet wanted) then you really need something like last represent and best even percentage because you never know if a person never represent or only not around the times you are most on-line. Exactly the same problem you have with off-line people now with no “last online” option.

A great suggestion, however in order to get Anet to implement it, you’re going to need to explain how they can sell it as an add on feature for guilds for 800gems

Another great feature would be the ability to see which members in a guild are contributing the most influence overall, and how much time they’ve spent representing your guild. I’m no guild leader, but I think those might be useful features to have.

Those are also in the list of suggestions:

Haha, I’m actually concerned that might be true! However I don’t see how they could charge for it… Having said that if it was added in as a “Guild Upgrade” that had to be unlocked… I’d get it just because it is needed… Plus the fact my guild currently has 2-million influence and 250-merits that we just can’t seem to spend fast enough!

But surely ANET wouldn’t charge us to implement such a simple thing!? Can you imagine all the flame threads they would get on the forums?

I’d just love to hear from ANET telling us EXACTLY why they haven’t put this feature into the game… I mean what possible excuse is there for it? I’m as open minded as anyone so I would take their comments on board and try to see it from their perspective… but honestly I really don’t think they have an excuse. I think it’s a simple case of “Oh yeah, I knew there was something I was supposed to do last year! ooops…”

My guild’s goal was to get to 100 members and when we reach that milestone i will start kicking inactives,yesterday we reached 100 members and then i realized that idk who to kick….

That’s exactly the same boat we are all in… I’m up to about 470 members now and unless i use the leaderboards I can’t really tell who i need to kick. Which is why we need “Last online” or “Last Earned” column in the guild panel… and we needed it a year ago… That will never change until it’s added.
