Guild Wars 2

I’m a member of a rather large guild that actively participates in WvW. As we begin to grow in ranks our guild has begun to eye the commanders compendium for the structure and ease of running groups. We face one large problem- who gets this book?!

It is a guild effort to save 100 gold, so why is this book only limited to one person? You’d have to grace someone you really trusted, knew was loyal to the guild and was going to use the title and abilities well..after all, we all know 100 gold isn’t easy to come by short of using a gold seller or trading in gems, even then it’s a hefty price.

I’d like to see Arenanet change this and make the book enable a research option for the guild. In a perfect world, the guild master would buy this book and the book would enable you to “research” the commander rank. At the end of the research period you have a commander rank within the guild where you can thus promote/demote one person to assume the responsibilities. This, I feel, is a way better option then buying the book for a person within the guild and then down the road have them leaving the guild, quitting the game, generally doing a bad job etc..there goes the guilds 100 gold. At least with a rank your guild will always have it.

Well give it to your PvP-officer. I think they reason for the price is them being able to make waypoints.. a very powerfull ability in WvW:)

That’s obviously the option we’re at now. Luckily, our pvp officer is related to the guild master..but what about the guilds who don’t have this option? I’m also not complaining about the price – I think the price is fair considering what it entails. My qualm is that if it takes a guild to save for the compendium why isn’t the compendium bound to the guild? I realize an individual COULD save for this book, but why would they honestly?
