As a co-guild leader, I find it very hard to make sure that all members of the guild receive announcements. These announcements are usually to do with informing them about events taking place a certain times. The current guild announcement system is not bold enough and people do not really check it regularly. In GW1, every time you logged in on a character, the guild announcement would pop up in the chatbox, this was so effective and I really don’t understand why it was removed.
So my suggestion is for ANet to implement a similar guild announcement system where characters can see the message once logging in. Using the new mail system, perhaps certain members of the guild should be able to send mail to all guild members notifying them of the event etc. Secondly, I find it really annoying that you cannot actually edit the guild announcement, everything just deletes and you have to write it from scratch. Again, this was something from GW1 which was removed upon the release of GW2. Thanks for reading the thread, let me know if you have any info regarding this, also post below if you agree/disagree.
