Someone in Lion’s Arch tonight was shouting to find a buyer for his guild, asking for a moderately big sum of gold. This guild had enough assets for guild missions. Even if we assume this isn’t a scam, it still opens up a number of potential problems.

How bad are the problems that can be created by guild sales? Should there be any intervention by the designers to prevent it becoming more commonplace?

It was common in GW1, and they had even less to offer back then.

“We just don’t want players to grind in GW2” – C. Johanson
“it doesn’t make you spend hours preparing to have fun, rather than having fun”
Guild missions say otherwise.

Funny, ever since I started talking about my guild being too small for guild missions, I’ve had several offers to take all my members. (For free, of course.) Maybe selling my guild would have been the better option…

(PS This is terrible! Who would sell their guild?! Disgusting.)

I do not think this is possible at all.

In Guild Wars 2, it appears that the original ownership transfer of guilds is impossible.
The guild is disbanded if the original guild founder leaves the guild.

Sure it’s possible. You just put the new owner as leader then demote yourself, then leave.

I bought one for 5 gold. I kicked everyone except me after the original leaders stood down and the guild is still there. So, it is entirely possible.

Who the heck would sell a Guild for 5 Gold?

Anyway, selling for gold? I would strongly think this is legal. Selling for Cash? Illegal, but probably harder to catch than gold selling.
