Looking for suggestion
With guilds not bound to server, the number of guilds listed would be in the thousands. Guilds higher up on the page, in the search would have huge advantages over the other guilds. How would Anet even sort it.
If it was alphabetic, my guild would be screwed, since the guild name because with W. If it was number of members, the top guilds would keep getting more and more and everyone else would be basically closed out.
The best way to recruit, I find, is one on one in game. Talking to people, playing with people, and bringing them into a guild they’d fit into.
Choosing a guild from text on a list of thousands of guilds doesn’t sound like it would benefit very many people at all.
You can always just ask in map chat in a hub area if any guilds are recruiting.
