Guild Wars 2

I don’t like the way one becomes commander right now. Our guild is collecting money to have our first one, but I wonder: what if the person we give the book, eventually leaves our guild or quits the game altogether? We have basically wasted 100 gold which are worth a considerable sum of real money.

I think there should be an alternative way for big guilds to designate commanders: my idea is guild commander slots that a guild can obtain as expensive guild upgrades (let’s say, one slot per 100 members max). Once the guild has those slots, members can be selected to fill them, and their commander status can be removed as well if necessary. If the guild needs more commanders, those can use the book.

PvE farming for cash to become top PvP commander? bloody joke! Ranks like this shouldnt be bought – have it based on peers, or at least require a person to be elected a commander if they can get for example 40 votes from guild members or random players (1 vote per account) then you at least know someone running around with that marker has the backing of a large number of players and is more likely to know what they are doing, and they probably have some communication skills.

Which would essentially substantially reward large guilds and offer a feature to them that would thus be unavailable or extremely difficult to attain for anyone that does not belong to large Guilds. Implementation would also have to take into consideration those who represent multiple Guilds and swap between them often.

No, just no.

Guild Leaders should automatically be assigned “Commander-like” status for organizational purposes within the Guild only. This “Commander Lite” option should have no effect on anything other than the Guild within which the player is leader.

For example, while representing “NubStompersAreUs” – you see the Guild Commander (Leader) on your map in the same manner as one sees Commanders now, with an alternate icon to differentiate.

I didn’t see this before – but I just posted something similar.
