My guild is still unable to use the guild registrar to upgrade the guild cap. We have been stuck with a 50 member cap!

When using the registrar it appears to work, and even tells you that it has upgraded the cap, but does not actually take the payment, and does not increase the cap.

Guild is Swords of Villanousity [SoV] and we’ve reported this via tickets as well, and got a copy-paste reply about the guild/party issues. -.-

Council of Kings [Arch] on Northern Shiverpeaks is having this problem too. When talking to the guild registrar he says we are able to upgrade our guild member limit for the fee of 1 silver, but it never works. The guild leader and officers have tried to no avail.

The same thing happened with our first guild (Kingdom of Tyria) before it vanished around August 29th. The guild leader did not disband the guild, it was gone after a patch when we all logged in the next morning. A couple of members used up their Tomes of Influence on our “missing” guild. It would be nice to get the tomes restored at the very least.

Guild: Godless | Tag: [gdls] | Server: Gate of Madness

I’ll see your “Guild Leader and Officer have tried to raise the cap” and I’ll raise you “every member of my guild”. As an experiment, we gave every single member (well, all 50 of them at least) invite permissions. Not one was able to increase the guild cap.

Subsequent to this, we formed a second guild and encountered the same problem.

The game once reported that one member was able to increase the cap in both guilds – she had also successfully raised the cap in a third “holding” guild she had started – and we were able to send out invites past 50 people. Unfortunately, the moment the 50th member accepted an invite, the game instantly dropped all other outstanding invites.

Our first guild was started within 15 minutes of early launch. The second guild was started on September 2. The only shared factor between them is the person who created the guild – perhaps some form of odd database error? It is most certainly not capacity issues: myself and many other have tried to accomplish the upgrades at all hours of the day, immediately after patches, immediately before patches, etc.

But here’s the real problem. That the non-functioning system is completely unnecessary. The amount of money required to perform the upgrade is less than trivial. The upgrade is a nominal hoop that serves no apparent purpose.

This would be fine if it worked. That it doesn’t is insulting. Make all guilds start at 500 and there would literally be no problem. Zero. Instead, the guild part of Guild Wars 2 is broken worse than something as complex as the Trading Post.

Same with Reverence <Rev> on Jade Quarry. Stuck at 50 members even though it says the upgrade has gone through.
