Our guild is at a bit of a loss trying to find guild functions and managing our community. What activities can a small – mid guild do as a guild?

The wait times for WvW are terrible on our server. It’s very difficult to get several ppl into the same zone at the same time.

The max party size for tourneys and dungeons is 5. We are seeing internal cliques start to develop rather than true guild activities.

Map clearing with multiple ppl = less fun. Mobs get stomped way too hard while in a fairly sizable group.

We have kinda lead some guildies through jump puzzles at times, but it’s really a group event, more of a solo event with multiple ppl.

Are any other guilds struggling with this / what activities does your guild do?

Schedule events and have people sign up. If many people like to do dungeons and more than 5 sign up run more than one group at a time or more than once so all who sign up can go. Cliques will form as the guild size reaches a certain size or larger. That is just the natural order of a social group that reaches that certain size. Not much you can do other than encourage everyone to be more a part of the greater social group. I always have been a part of a smaller guild in games that share in the same stuff I’m interested in doing. I’ve been in larger guilds in other games in the past but when it was all said and done it was that smaller group that was always there no matter what. It is important that the whole or mostly the whole of the group share mostly the same activity interests if you want to avoid potential clique related problems. Cliques may not be all bad though so I guess it is a matter of what is going on and having an all guild meeting about it if there are problems arising from them.
