Guild Wars 2

Ok my gf and I recently created an alt guild for giggles. We are in a large wvw T1 guild w/ a 100% rep requirement. Well I figured why not use that alt guild to claim supply camps all of the time for the +5 supply boost while our main guild uses its buffs for important things like towers, garrison etc.? So that’s what I have been doing. but it hasn’t been working out quite as I had intended.

So here is what typically happens. We will flip a supply camp and I will then change my rep to the alt guild and try and claim it. Unfortunately I have to wait several minutes before I can claim it on my alt guild. BUT I can immediately claim it from my main guild no matter what. So lately I have 2 choices. 1. Wait and come back to the camp to claim it. 2. Stand there and keep clicking for roughly 3 minutes before I can claim it.

Now if I hop on over to any camp etc. that has been owned for a while I can claim it asap on either guild. But if I ever try to claim asap on my alt guild; nope I have to wait a few minutes. I’ve even tried repping my alt guild while flipping it to see if I can claim it to little or no success.

Any suggestions/observations/insight as to wth is going on? How might I do it differently so I can use those buffs asap? Just started researching Art of War 3 so we can get even more buffs to place on structures if need be (albeit it costs a pretty penny to buy all of the influence required to do so). Here’s how it all works if anyone is curious after forming your own guild http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Influence

The guild that does the most effort in capping something (aka your main guild) gets a sort of “reserved claim” for the first 3 minutes or so. After that, any guild can claim it. Only suggestion I can give is have everyone rep the secondary guild temporarily while you take the camp.

If everyone involved in flipping the camp reps the alt guild while doing it, you can claim it asap.

Rep your alt guild before capping the camp/tower/etc. Problem will be avoided.

Ok now this backs what I have witnessed personally. I have tried taking camps while repping my alt guild with a few randoms and I still ended up with the problem. Makes perfect sense to me now. Thanks people for the replies.
