Guild Wars 2

I quoted you RE your comment about small guilds asking for special treatment, which I am not asking for…as I say, just asking for what we had already unlocked to still be unlocked. Sorry if that was not clear.

As a small roaming group in WvW (which is getting harder and harder to do with the zergs getting bigger and bigger) that +5 supply means a lot… often the difference between being able to get siege built before the zerg finds us, or not.

Oh, and to be clear, I am not saying those things which were already unlocked should only still be unlocked for small guilds, I think if any guild had them unlocked, they should be unlocked…the only difference is that a small guild has to work considerably harder to unlock them again…after having had to work considerably harder to unlock them in the first place…

I am not asking for the requirements for my small guild to be lower than that of a huge guild (and YES my small guild is a guild regardless of the fact that only 2 of our 20 members are active.) All I am saying is that if you already had something unlocked, to have to unlock it all again with the new system is a kick in the teeth to the small guilds that worked their kitten s off to upgrade their guilds in the first place.

As an example… we had +5 supply in WvW unlocked…good luck to a small guild getting that unlocked again…I have been told by friends in very big guilds that they can’t even afford it.

As for WHY would we want to have everything unlocked/upgraded? How about because we already did?

I don’t want all the new stuff to be automatically unlocked, but if you already had it before the HoT release, it should still be unlocked.

Small guilds had to work considerably harder than large guilds in the first place to get the influence to do the upgrades, and don’t get me wrong, it was fun and I don’t regret any of it, but it WAS a lot of hard work.

Also, as has been pointed out by someone else… my guildies are all friends. We do not mass recruit. The idea behind our guild is a small group of friends playing the game together and having fun…it is not to go out and recruit more people so we can use them for their money/mats.

This is the point of a Guild. You may say that people who are a duo guild should have lower requirements, but the fact is, a Guild of less than 5 is a glorified party. There’s many small guilds making the system work, but asking for something to make smaller guilds be able to get what other slightly bigger guilds are getting, at a reduced requirement, would be unfair to those guilds of the same size making it work.
Problem= My micro guild can’t build a Guild hall.
Solution= Expand your guild.
Sorry This isn’t the answer you want to hear but This is most definitely the solution to your issues. Not reducing requirements.
This was why A net encouraged the Guild Recruitment a couple of months ago.

I’m sure a guild with 5-7 active people can manage that just fine… my guild has 2 active people, not so easy.

We were able to fully max our guild out with just the two of us being active and were really looking forward to getting a Guild Hall with the new expansion, but no, that is not something that is easily done with 2 people.

Then to find out that all the work we put into upgrading our guild beforehand was for nothing, because we will basically have to unlock everything again once we do get our hall. Needless to say, we are not happy.

Small guilds were definitely given a good firm kick in the teeth in this expansion.

Astralaria 3 – The Mechanism collection is so buggy. I have been hit by the Matriarch’s fire countless times today with the capsule in my inventory and it just won’t work. The same with the one from the Mega Destroyer, I have done it and received the chest three times now and nothing… it is very frustrating.

It isn’t just the large servers that are having this problem, HOD is not a particularly large server and I’ve been booted into overflow too…so, basically you are in the same boat as everyone else…these things happen when you have big events that everyone wants to do.

I get the same thing with every email I get from NCSoft…the links never work.

I googled and managed (after some playing around with the wording) to find the latest survey online…try this link:
