Guild Wars 2

The way the guild privileges are set up right now really hinders that way that ranks are set up. For example, “invite new members” is included in the “admin lower rank” privilege. “Admin lower ranks” allows members to invite new players, and promote or demote players that are below their rank. While this won’t cause an issue with players of the lowest rank, giving this rank to people in between member and officer could tempt some people to abuse it and demote/promote people that shouldn’t be demoted/promoted. Obviously the higher ranking players, officers, and guild leader can fix this but it could lead to being a pain. By making the “invite” privilege it’s own privilege it’s fixes this issue.

Another example is that there is no privilege for guild chat and just being a member lets you use guild chat. In every mmo I play I like to have a rank at the very bottom known as “time-out” or “probation” where if two (or even more) players are just *****ing at each other and causing drama for everybody then myself, or another officer can demote them to the “time out” rank which removes the ability to talk in guild chat. This way if those players do want to keep going at each others throats then the rest of the guild doesn’t have to deal with it. This helps stop the drama as the rest of the guild doesn’t have to deal with it and will help keep players from leaving due to drama. Then from there if those players still don’t knock it off after receiving guild chat privilege back they get kicked.

Those are just some examples of privileges that I believe need to be either changed or added.
