Guild Wars 2

So, I’m told that it costs 100g to unlock warband for one toon only. But apparently anyone can then join this warband. Surely a game that is called Guild wars should enable u to have guild only warbands. So basically its a grand waste of money as it stands.

why? is it a problem if non guild members join you? Anyway I think this mechanic isn’t designed for guilds anyway. They have their guild chat to communicate. This mechanic is designed for people who aren’t in a big guild but are looking for other people to fight with in WvW.

It would be clearer if you reference the terms used in the game which is named after the historical Guild Wars between various Guilds in the different human kingdoms of Ascalon, Kryta and Orr. (See the official GW wiki for more information)

A warband is a Charr cultural term relating to their social and military society and, other than the RPG part of your Charr character in this MMORPG, has nothing to do with players.

It costs 100g to purchase the Commander’s Manual which will elevate only one character on your account to “Squad Commander”. A Squad is effectively a large party which is applicable only in WvW and to many people would indeed be a grand waste of money. To those heavily involved in WvW however, it can be a valuable (if perhaps pricey) tool. Personally I think that the commander status should be per account rather than per character.

All Guild members are represented in a different colour in game but I would like to see little gold dots on the map to represent all of the members of your Guild that are on the same map as you.

Maybe it isn’t, but it would be handy for guilds wishing to work to geather to have an easier way to see each other on the map.

Yes seeing other guildmates in wvw or indeed other maps would be great. I didn’t know the terms indeed, but the point got across.
