I am in a guild, most people aren’t they? My guild has two active members. We don’t really need any more, don’t necessarily want to go recruiting more. It works for us. What doens’t work for us really is that we cant upgrade our guild anymore because we need guild merit. To get guild merit you need those little blue ribbons. The problem with getting those is that the only way to get them at the start is through Guild bounties. Two people cant do a guild bounty.

I think it would be nice if there was a way for us to gain guild distinctions without needing to recruit new people. That or perhaps remove the distinction requirement for the ones two people could possibly do, like Guild Trek.

I support this idea. It has been proposed several times before, but due that anet still hasnt moved nothing about, it is ok to ask again for it.

Change the first guild mission, to one that small guilds can do, so they can prosper as a guild. Or allow merits to be bought with gold, like influence.

You can do a guild bounty even with one person. Here’s how you do it. Once you unlock it (you can bribe your way to it with gold for influence) start it up at sunday or saturday evening. There’s a 90% chance someone else (and in numbers) will be seeking same bounty or even already be pouncing away on it.
Just ask in map chat and if that’s the case join in. That kill will count to your guild’s bounty. If no one is fighting it, you can still ask in map chat if someone saw it and gather ppl for it. Few refuse the allure of a champ for thrashing;)

If you’re moderately lucky you won’t get one of the 3 pain in the kitten to find bounties. Also be sure to read up on wiki on bounties and the maps they spawn in. be sure to have all of those maps properly discovered (waypoints activated).

And as i said one person is all it takes so….you can hunt one target, while your buddy at same time seek the other. With outside help you’ll be done in a jiffy and get your guild merits. Guerrilla tactics ftw (even if my guild underlings hate me for it:>).

You might want to browse the Guild CDIs, as the topic did come up while a Dev was actively paying attention.

What if you start the hunt and then everyone blobs down the target before you get there? You get no credit and wasted a bounty?

You get no credit and the target respawns ‘till the clock says it’s over.

Also, you could ask if you can team up with a large guild to have them help you for your bounties. Not an optimal solution and requires a large amount of trust, yet it can work.

I want to ask one thing…

why?

there is a lot of content which can’t be done solo, for example world bosses, fractals, for most players even dungeons (I don’t really count those few HC players who can really solo some dungeons)… why should guilds be any different? you can create a guild with 2 people, why not, but there are things which just can’t be done in 2 people, it doesn’t matter if it’s a dungeon or a boss or something guild related, you just can’t, get over it…

I’m with MaXi.

You’re not really a guild if you’re just 2 people, you’re not even half a group.

I do agree though that HoT needs to bring more accessibility to smaller guilds, but 2 members?
