Suggestion: Spreading the influence
You can actually BUY influence lol. If you don’t want to do that then recruit some into you guild and have them rep it for a while. You can get a bunch of influence that way!
Event-based influence should properly go to the guild you are repping during the event; it even scales up with more people. Attendance influence is based on which toon you are repping at logon.
But as Merchant of Shadows suggests, it’s easy enough to buy influence. A guild stash (50 slots) costs 2,500 influence, which can be bought for only 5g — still a bargain.
