Guild Recruitment Boards: It's almost 2025. We have all of these new systems, technologies, methods...yet why are we using this Neanderthal method in LFG etc?

Guild Recruitment Boards:

Will post in every major city + Eternal Battlegrounds as well as lounges like Armistice Bastion, for example.

 

Guild leader post access only and by correctly permissible ranks. Decent character limit to type about your guild similar to Guild Message of the day.

Lasts 1 Week, can check for in game applications requesting to join, anyone with perms can accept/deny applications.

Only 1 of the same Guild can make a post, any other recruitment by the same Guild will be denied to prohibit spam.

Search filters by Guild name, tag, game modes etc. [PvX/Spvp/PvE/Fractals]

Boards appearance looks similar to Bounty Boards located in Path of Fire expansion cities.

Will reduce map chat/mail/pm spam and people won't have to resort to these or bad lfg design or even forum and reddit recruitment sections.

Will put less stress on officers to recruit manually and officers can direct them to the guild recruitment boards.

 

It's 2024, almost 2025. Chained Echoes does this,  Sea of Thieves is in discussion to do this so it's time we step up with this QoL to match the times. Hell, Zip Recruiter in video games isn't a bad idea!
The Bounty Board is already in the game, why not use this model, adjust(or not) the textures on it. Slap a Guild Icon in towns or wherever you decide to put it, allow the above methods to post the message to work offline for leaders and or permisssable ranks to post. 1 per guild, full guild message of the day.

IMO: I would be able to recruit an all thief guild much much easier this way and allow my members to focus on actual gameplay. 

LFG tool is rarely ever used for guilds, map chat is annoying to map hop to find members, sitting in queensdale is nice to help new players and all but it is getting old...like old as in 10 years too old of a system to rely on when everything else is moving past these old-school methods.
yes it was posted in QoL suggestions.

 

If anything allow it to function this way but so it in gemstire as a qol. Allowed in homestead + guild halls

A better guild recruitment system could be a nice addition. There are a number of guild related aspects that could use some work.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Perhaps a future expac could expand on Guild Halls. Rather than using mats for further levels beyond what we have, Guilds could get Mastery lines where members could contribute their xp directly to the Guild.

I support improvements to Guild Missions, Guild Vendors and Guild Recruitment

If halls are expanded upon like homesteads were in the latest Expac, I wouldn't be interested.

Not to single you out, but, what part of this thread piqued your interest in tesponding? I'm sure you would like something in this thread to be adjusted in no?

Who's brilliant idea was it to move this thread here of all places?  Did they actually read it, or just go by the title?

[Mithral.8516]

Seconding this for sure! Not sure why it's in this section of the forums, though.

Finding a guild is such a pain, and especially painful for new players. I really don't like that with the current situation, being the most annoying is rewarded.

i posted it in Discussions, it got moved to Looking For Guild. so wasnt me.

[DegenerateGamer.8935]

For a game that is called GUILD WARS, they sure make it difficult to browse potential guilds.

[Zacchary.6183]

This idea should have been implemented years ago.
