Guild Wars 2

Alright, let’s get started off by saying… We’ve been here since day 1 of guild wars. Our guild is one of the more higher leveled guilds of Yak’s Bend server. I understand it may have been deleted for it’s name? Or possible bug? The guild’s name is Afghan Taxi Service. and we had a full guild stash of items worth up to 20g alone and countless man hours into it. I have played 500 hours and i can gurantee 95% were to support my guild and help it grow. Why didn’t we get a chance just to rename it? I didn’t think it was offensive and when I requested to rename it. That feature wasn’t avaliable in gw2.

Why is it in Gw1 we had countless guilds with more offensive names running around without problems? Sorry if this is scrambled. I’m kind of shocked this has happened :/

Thanks in advance.

I can understand how you would be annoyed by this, but the naming policy does state that they do not permit names with National connotations.

As trivial as you may think this is, this is the domain of ArenaNet, and they think the name isn’t appropriate. Otherwise, what other reason do they have for deleting the guild? Also I believe I remember reading somewhere that ArenaNet does not yet have the ability to edit the name of a guild.

They should have ability to change a guild name. especially with how many man hours put into this guild. We aren’t here to offend anyone. We felt the name was funny. It was! It stirred up a lot of laughes. Not many thought it was offensive. We’ll gladly change the name if this is the case. But we defiantly, defiantly, do not want to lose it all. We can’t. We’ve came too far.

Considering how the guild is deleted….. yeah. Looks like you’ll have to start that guild over at start.

Or we might just all quit and yak’s bend gets a little less populated :/ and I never buy another Arena Net game again. I was going to drop some cash on gems around christmas time… but yeah.

But Versz, don’t you think it’s a bit extreme to quit when you know from the naming policy that the guild name was in the wrong? ArenaNet doesn’t write up rules for them to be ignored and unenforced.
