Guild Wars 2

I run 2 guilds, one general social guild and a raid guild.

Some of the raid guild members dont represent due to the fact that all the content for that guild is more of an organised thing.

However, this poses a problem for communication. I try to plan raids and communicate with the guild as a whole leaving few options to organise. I can:

- place it in message of the day (which most members dont see)
- sit online for hours on end to message them when they log in (id rather not)
- mail them (doesnt require me to sit online for hours and everyone can see)

Here lies the problem… The mailing system is broken.

I cannot send guild wide mails since ArenaNet seem to think I will waste my time sending guild mails every 5 minutes. I also cannot go through the members of my guild and mail each one, 1 email, or short length, with days of gap between mailing that same person again. This is due to me sending 2 mails before being suppressed for an obnoxious amount of time.

Please add a way in which I can communicate with my guild without use of the MOTD, which does not work in my situation. Anything to communicate since the current systems require me to sit online for hours on end waiting for them OR sit online for hours on end sending mails with a 5 minute gap in between. Neither of which are pleasant.

Thanks, lucius

From old posts, the time limitation on emails seems to be tied to an old problem back around launch where gold sellers were spamming accounts with messages. A timer was put in to stop that.

That said, the messaging in this game is clunky. There should be a way for guild leaders to message all guild members with one email or whisper.

I know why there’s a limit and I understand that but its not that hard to put a clause saying:

if player1.guild = player2.guild
supressMessage = false

And that way guild leaders can message their members just fine

I agree with this. It’s a PITA to even just message all your officers to remind them about a meeting. I’d like a guild mailing tab so you can select which ranks you want to PM, that way you can contact just officers/co-leaders, the whole guild or just members.
