So it has come to the point where I just feel really bad for players in our guild. They can donate whatever they want but cant reap the benefits of it. As far as I am aware there is no warning of this ingame.

The Arena cannot be entered by Core Players. Something that really bummed out some of the players that went out of their way to donate. We just kind of accepted it because it was a new feature.

The real problem are the Guild enhancements. Stuff that used to just be passive boosts for the entire guild have now been turned into consumables. This is really annoying for alt’o’holics but the worst part is that if you dont own the expansion, you are locked out of those boosts.

EDIT: just saw this thread.

Yes.. The guild buff lockout I have MAJOR issues with…. It needs to be fixed asap. How is it ok to lock out an XP buff but ur not going to lockout the guild portal? Anet really is upsetting people with this kind of lock out stuff and it needs to be addressed right away

I’m in total agreement here. Players with the core game should still be able to access core upgrades from the guild hall, particularly the buffs: EXP, WXP, MF, gathering, crafting, PVP. None of those game modes are exclusive to the new content, but require the expansion to use.

Locking the vast majority of guild perks behind the HoT paywall is a major disincentive for core, new and veteran, players to join and/or partake in many aspects of guilds. This has left many of my guild members upset. They want to be part of the guild and reap the benefits, but are required to purchase HoT, even if they’ve been playing for years, to do so. In this regard the new system is rather alienating.

Really? So much for a resurgence in GvG.
