Guild Wars 2

For the love of Dwayna, Kormir, Lyssa, Melandru, Balthazar and Grenth…. Please make it so either only just the character that a person joins a guild with is Representing the guild, or make it so they must leave a guild to join another, instead of all this Non-Representing going on. Guilds have 300+ members, yet half if not more are Non-Representing.

Also, other things I shall list that should be fixed about Guilds.

Some Ideas

• Include Positive bonuses for loyalty when Representing a Guild after a determined Period of Game Play example: 1 Month/2 Month/4 Month Etc…
• Would include +% in EXP/Magic Find, +Vitality/Toughness/Power/Accuracy…
• Include Negative bonuses for being a member of more then 1 Guild, and Not Representing.
• Would include -% in EXP/Magic Find, -Vitality/Toughness/Power/Accuracy…
• More variety/layers of color when it comes to designing a Guild Emblem.
• Sub-Websites for Guilds located @Guildwars2.com so players may browse a guild they’d possibly be interested in joining, these Sub-Websites would show Guild Achievements, Progression, Guild Emblem and Etc…
• Guild Finder Tab, with a List of Guild Names, Online Officers/Leader, Short Biography, Age of the Guild, Number of Active Members/Inactive Members, etc.
• Last Login date/time, so Guild Leaders/Officers can kick/comb through the ranks.

I understand that this is only my view on things, regarding Guild Uniqueness etc, hopefully I can get some good feedback, perhaps some of this is already in the woodwork w/ the Developers.. I do not mean to troll, but perhaps you Ladies and Gentlemen can add into what you think would be good as well.

Dang Orphael, I really like your ideas, most anyhow. Although, another thing to add to this is; Guild Tabards or a Guild Cloak, or both. So we can actually wear our armor and not transmute it just to have a emblem on it, if those can’t be implemented, then at least make it so the Guild emblem is just “superimposed” onto the armor, without making it look as if it was rages (look at guild light armor in-game for an example)

I was curious as to when there would be a possibility of another Craftsman Skill: Carpentry, alongside with actual Guild Halls? Perhaps this has already been covered, but I want to hear it from a GM anyhow. Also, how about only the character that you invited stays in that guild, so other Alt Characters arn’t shown as (Not Representing), so we can strengthen loyalty within a guild.
