Sapphic Savvy.8376 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Over the years, I know many of us have been asking to have the ability to purchase additional guild slots (so to say) so that we can join more than the current limit of 5. Has this ever been addressed by ANET staff? Is it something that COULD be done?For those of you who think 1 - 5 guilds enough, good for you, but that doesn't mean that the rest of the [paying] population should not ever have the option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenDEADLY.5281 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Most games let you join one guild. Why isn't five good enough? Is ten good enough? Is twenty good enough? What arbitrary number is to your liking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liston.9708 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Wvw players want multiple guilds for claiming purposes. Others may want pvp, raid, and multiple pve guilds based on time of day they play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbru.6014 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I don't know about raising the number of guilds, but I definitely think the guild member max needs to be raised over 500. Right now TINY is up to three guilds just to accommodate all our members and applicants, and there is no way to meta-communicate across all three, so guild leaders have to use up three guild slots just to communicate with everyone. Many other large guilds are in the same boat; SOLO and its associates are up to five guilds! I think raising the guild member max to 999 or whatever the code allows, would go a long way to solving such problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I wonder about the feedback that might occur should such a QoL update be monetized. Also, be careful what you ask for, as one forum member declares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBullWings.2734 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 wouldn't being able to join even more guilds only further devalue the meaning of guilds? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etria.3642 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 As always whenever this comes up, yes, please more guilds.As to build templates, if they would have been done correctly, I wouldn't have minded paying for them.

Naxos.2503 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Subjective, but I personally think 5 is 4 too many : Each time you login, you're a member of 1, and a ghost to the remaining 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorstienn.1642 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I dont need it (barely use 5), but fully support them throwing some guild unlocks in the gem store (whatever limit), as long as those that want it make 2 "thanks Anet/Devs" post for every "greedy Anetd/Devs" thread/post that will inevitably pop up.

You're only a ghost in a guild if you choose not to participate in it.Whenever I log in, first thing I do is say hi in all of my guilds. Ironically, the one with the most active guild chat and most people partying up and helping out constantly is the one where pretty much nobody ever represents that guild. We're all parts of other (vastly different) guilds, too, but the comunity spirit in that non-rep guild is still among the best I've ever been in.That's not to say my other guilds are dead or anything. In fact I just had close to a dozend guildies from my main guild (the one where I'm one of the guild leaders and that I rep most of the time) at my house last weekend to celebrate my real life birthday :) . That guild just is more casual and laid-back than the other one and guild chat isn't always as active.Personally I could do with more guild slots, as I had to turn down a few guild invites from interesting guilds/communities a few times already, but I'd hate to see the complaining if ANet should choose to sell them in the store. It's just not a good marketing move at this point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 How can someone be in more than five guilds when so many of them require 100% representation? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etria.3642 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I could, easily, since I refuse to join one that requires that. Many do not. There is no reason TO require it any more, since the currency that used to gain is no longer granted.Let's see. I could join the second guild I raid with, I could join the alliance guild, I could join the guild my daughter runs, I could join the farming guild.Currently I am in my small friends and family guild, a large social guild, a raid guild, and a wvw guild. I have an empty slot so whichever other guild I am in the discord of needs help I can join, help, then leave again. It's also useful to have a blank slot so I can sell shovels, or insignia, or other bound items. All my permanent guilds are max level.The empty slot but discord membership is a sorry fix for actual membership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to draw parallels, let's be accurate with them. In GW2 guilds are account wide, and you are allowed 5 of them. In a game like WoW for example, if you have 12 characters, you can have them join 12 different guilds.GW2 is obviously more flexible as you can swap from guild to guild.For me I have 1 PvE guild that is basically just friends, 1 PvE guild that is focused on fractal content, and I have 3 WvW guilds with members who play at different time zones (OCX/SEA/NA Prime)I would be happy to purchase extra guild slots for gems.

Dyers.1567 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Above reasons are true and reasonable. WvW, PvP, PvE, time zones, Family, farming guilds etc,.. I would also love to see it possible to join more than 5 guilds. Perhaps 10 or even 20. Another reason is the ability to use multiple Beetle tracks made by other guilds, more often. There are thousands of tracks out there that could/would be shared which would help the community. More racing and communication. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnox.5128 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) Actually, the entire guild system needs a complete overhaul. It literally hasn't been touched since HoT. Maybe even earlier than that. And among the many things that need to be implemented is a return to the GW1 way of doing things. You had ONE guild you could join and represent. For better and for worse, that was your family. This created a huge sense of community by basically forcing everyone in that guild to socialize with each other and work together. HOWEVER, I understand that the five guild system does allow you to keep in touch with groups of friends, even if you may not represent them, so there should be a way to "friend" a guild as well. Friending a guild would allow you to see the full roster of the guild but wouldn't allow anything else, and you can friend as many guilds as you want. So, TL;DR - You can only join and represent one guild at a time but can friend as many guilds as you like.

kokocabana.8153 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Guild slots for the purposes of WvW will eventually be freed up once the alliance system is in place to allow players from different worlds to WvW together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
