Avelione.6075 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 As my fellow gamepals just suggested on the map chat. We DO NEED a GUILD RECRUITMENT TAB to save everyone's time and save us from clutter on the chats! As one of them said "Even as shitty game as Archeage has guild recruitment tab." :D I feel like it's a good idea and would make everything easier. We could have some more features added to it like: requirements, PvX, what's the guild level, guild hall... etc... What do you think???????????????

Galaa.8475 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 NO! I've been in five guilds in seven months in this game. They didn't do anything , so I left them. Oh don't get me wrong, they announced we do everything the game has to offer. Nope, nada, nothing. So I'm done with guilds . Anyway, no guild tab to promote stuff you are not going to do. This has been a PSA for new players. thank you and happy solo gaming to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joneirikb.7506 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Hmm, I'd be for it. * Dedicated place to look if you're interested in finding a guild * Possible to turn off if you don't want to see recruitment Though, I think I'll kinda miss seeing SkyShroud post on every single map I'm in whenever I'm walking around on maps in PVE, kinda become a tradition. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstealer.5978 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Yeah, lets have a guild recruitment tab so we can encapsulate all the trashverts in its own place where we never have to click. Let those guilds fill it up as often as they like with their endless adverts stating "we is da best, we does it all, we number one cos we say so" ... at least then map chat might not be endlessly littered with all that dros those poor desperate guilds that think pushing out their guild spam every few minutes makes them look an attractive option to players... though personally I still think chat will still be awash with all the same guild garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemnaid.4219 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Guild are useless. Guild halls, guild missions, all useless. No guild wars. Only guild drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abelisk.4527 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Yes. I've seen many Reddit posts where people can't find guilds and it makes me cry. If there is such a thing as Guild Recruitment tab, it would promote players to continuously join and try the guild out, and guild chat will probably be lively if players continously join. There should be an expensive month-long contract fee for doing this though. To avoid clutter. But it does help your guild population out. Basically while you or an appointee (officers) are recruiting, you have an icon near your name (a golden book maybe) that players will recognize as "guild recruiter". Then the player whispers that recruiter for the guild and they join. They can also go in the tab of course and whisper off of there. So yes I'm all for it, as long as there's a fee. Maybe even have it as a replacement for Commander/Mentor tags, having a book icon above your character which shows you're recuiting members. Not only that but players can get a taste of guilds. Every guild is different, their own culture and members. I really approve of this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usnedward.9023 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I think really what has messed the guilds up (and this is only my opinion) is there is no clear cut servers based on time-zones. Take WoW for instance (6 years ago anyhow lol) you could pick servers based on timezone. There are guilds that really do stuff but sometimes it is just hard because their time may not sync with your play time. WvW may be a factor in the decision but really not sure.

Avelione.6075 Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Ah well... I admit I started a guild (over 100 people already) myself but I just invite people ;p And I think my success is that I do not require much from them and I didn't do much for a while either, but that's cause of personal problems and such. People are busy, they have jobs, schools, families, etc.... ;p So it's two sided. You cannot predict what people really want or it they'll have time. It seems to be a social problem. It would be better if I had my real friends playing the game but I do not have many friends and none of the actual ones is interested in gaming : ] ALSO: I do not want to use team speak or such much cause I'm shy, sometimes I just don't feel like talking. And I know many people doesn't want to use it either. I'm missing a tool to message ALL my guild mates directly :/ without inviting them to a party. It's all makeshift as for today. We need more communication options! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aechidna.3084 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 YESSSS!!!! I'm so tired or wading through all the recruitment groups just to find a proper raid group. This needs to happen like 12 updates ago!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to stop them, but the idea is that if we have a own guild recruit chat channel, most people would look to that channel when they want/need a guild, which would (hopefully) make those that wants to show their guild, post there for best effect. Mostly a matter of having another tool for "encouraging" better behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Windfoot Omega.7485 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Only if they make having a guild more relevant to the game. Especially for new guilds smaller guilds, a guild with a low population does not really have a ton they can can do together or any reason to work togehter unless they get lucky and somehow get a ton of members who are also active.

Urud.4925 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 +1 When I started to play, I received several invitations to join a guild. Someone just invited me, some other whispered me first, some other sent me first a mail with some info (the best option). Coming from other MMOs, I tried to look for the recruitment tab, where the guild masters put their advertisements, so that I could read them and choose some guild with similar interests. But obviously I didn't find that tab. I think that it's a good idea for new players, and for players that would like to try a new guild as well. The only problem is that the forum is updated, while an in-game ad might be old and belong to an inactive guild. Maybe it could be possible to add a timestamp, to see when the ad has been edited for the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menadena.7482 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 We do not need a recruitment tab. Just an official list (in the client or on the web in the guildwars2.com domain) of what guilds exist. A sentence or two about them and a link to any external site. Then once you have that ban /map chats to recruit for guilds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wait and hope someone will see your advertisement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick.6041 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Since they seem to be suspending people for recruiting in map chat, after it was acceptable for 6 years, it would be helpful, for those of us who do recruit in map chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard of this. Spamming has always been against the TOS. I doubt you get suspended for "just" recruiting in map chat. But if you spam the same thing over and over, or if you're rude, that might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorudo.9054 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 it would be better to have a window for this, so you can set what kind of guild you are and others can request to join. -no spamming -no pushing -easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its this. i know i report people who post in map chat every minute or two, its annoying to see given how *big* some of the guild recruitment messages can be and it interrupts conversations, and god i hate it when im map traveling and the same guild person posts a message in every single map i go to when i enter -_- If the made it against the TOS to post in map chat, but provided a recuitment tab, id be okay with that.

Are you also done with any class, race or activity I should know about? I could inform Anet to have them deleted then. Also, let's start with guilds. Hey Devs, Galaa is not interested in guilds anymore, best you remove those from game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been a PSA for new players. thank you and happy solo gaming to all. How is this even relevant? At worst nothing changes, because dead guilds will advertise regardless. At best, everything changes. There are many ways for Anet to implement this to avoid dead guilds cluttering the panel. Just show some kind of metric of how active the guild is, and you can easily filter out the dead guilds. Most of my friends have moved on from GW2, so I'm left in a dead guild. I would love to join a new active guild but I specifically do not because I don't want to weed out all the other dead guilds. A guild recruitment panel could do all this weeding for me and maybe just allow me to have fun with others again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always give away that it is BS completely unintentionally by just listing all the game modes, hoping to get the most people. Oh really, MegaguildXYZ, you do WvW as well? That's why you are recruiting in general chat on a multiserver? I'm sure your teams must be top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
