I think that the OP states some valid points here and even though I don’t agree 100% with everything that’s listed, there are definitely great talking points here that I would love to hear addressed by the devs.
I’ve been running WvW from day one on the same server: more hours solo than I care to admit, with small groups, small guilds, and now with one of the best guilds on my server. There are too many things that haven’t been addressed in WvW, too many things that seem to have been thrown in as a half kitten measure, and quite a bit that just seems broken at the moment.
I think the biggest point that I agree with is #2: “The roles/rewards/recognition of Guilds in a game called ‘Guild Wars’ is lacking”.
Whether you’re talking about WvW, sPvP, or PvE, I think that the roles/rewards/recognition of Guilds should be a center piece and a huge focus of every aspect of this game. As stated by the OP, “…the game is called Guild Wars…” and I think that being able to see (list? ladder?) the strongest guilds on your server for WvW, sPvP, and PvE would be an extremely motivational addition to the game as a whole.
Being able to see how your guild stands up to the other guilds, or tying to increase your guild ranking on the list/ladder, would be motivation for guilds to come together and do more events as a guild, and in turn push people to do more and be better — especially if there are rewards/benefits to being #1, or in the top 3.
I would love to see how many supply camps, towers, and keeps that my guild takes; to see how how many kills we’ve racked up as a guild; to see how many dungeons we’ve completed or how many quests/events were done; to see how many sPvP matches guildies have won — and then compare our accomplishments with the other guilds on our own server. The top 3 guilds (or whatever) gaining a bonus for the week, and the top #1 guild getting something extra-special, so that every guild is always working to try and be #1.
I’m sure that this is something that everyone would love to get behind and to see. ;-)
