Guild Wars 2

Creating a guild costs 1 silver. Ok.

Upgrading a guild to 500 members costs in total 4.21g. This price is extremely easy to pay these days.

I’m in a new guild since my previous one has become social-only. Most of our members are members of the previous one and we’ve hit the first cap very quickly and easily. Problem, we had several invites ongoing when we hit the cap. What happened? All the ongoing invites were simply discarded and the history only said “<account-name> has left the guild”.

First, the text is wrong: those people didn’t leave the guild, they were rejected, by an artificial mechanism, not by people. Second, <account-name> represents the account name, not the digit part of it, so in my case, one would have seen “Fror has left the guild”. And you don’t know the complete account name, so you cannot even reinvite people without possibly contacting the guy who threw the invite. So even as guild leader you cannot “fix what was broken”.

Ok, so it’s easy: just increase the size of the guild! Well, I’m not a guild leader (except my own bank, but I didn’t try) so I don’t really know how it works first hand, but my when my guild creator increased the size from 50 members to 100, she could not increase it to 200.

This is just plain wrong. The guild size increase costs nearly nothing (4.21g total) and we cannot pay it at once, forcing us to get inconveniences like having invites being automatically rejected.

So please, implement one of the following solutions because the current mechanism is everything but flexible:
- allow us to create guilds for 500 people from start for the mere price of 1 silver.
- allow us to increase the cap when we want, not when we approach it (or worse, reach it).

I think they added a guild cap to prevent an entire server’s worth of players from being in 1 or 2 main guilds.

The guild cap to 500 is fine. I don’t have an issue with that. Reread: I complain about the intermediary caps.

Don’t invite more people untill you get to raise the cap? Everyone else have managed, surely you can too.

Flawed design is flawed. Just admit it.

This is certainly not a big issue, but it should never have occurred in the first place.
