it would bother you to have xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx under some names, but titles like "Connoisseur of Confectionaries" or "Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer" are ok? ehh, these are long and i can't see them annoying.

Also this is really great idea, for example: there's [Koss] guild in our alliance and i'm keep meeting ppl [Koss] tags outside our alliance - same tag, but different names, someone outside our ally would think it's both same guild - this idea is really great imo, but wouldn't work too great if you had both title + guild name displayed - i say either guild name or title(heck, even make it a title that doesn't count towards KoABD)

Then I'd be walking around with:
Take Me [Home]
Country Roads

I'd like that.

Any guilds with overtly offensive names that bypassed the filter would show up. I'd give some examples, but I don't want to get banned on guru

While I like the idea in principal, in pratice I fear what sorta stuff would get displayed. I think a.net limited guilds to using tags for a reason, (much like how Halo 3 makes tags that are like H93, G30, K22) to prevent offensive abuse of the system.

/notsigned This is just like WoW how you can display the guild name above your character except in a different spot around you/your character.

Bladed Destiny guild ftw!

Yeah sounds like a good idea, too many people complaining they are in a guild when they are not.

I think it could create a market for guild names which would be extremely awesome.

I don't see it being any different than people avoiding the filter with character names. Perhaps also upgrade the Report system to report offensive guild names then? Doesn't seem to hard to implement.

komma · Sep 13, 2008, 05:03 PM // 17:03

this idea is fail....the guild tag is already there, people dont need to be bogged w your annoying guild names, hence the way it already is.

rohara · Sep 13, 2008, 05:13 PM // 17:13

would rather just display the guild name and tag below my name and leave room for displaying a real title. like:

My Cool Name
My Cool Guild [MCG] (L) (L = leader, O = officer, M = member)
I'm Very Important (3)

i think the old system worked fine for a long time, but 3 years into the game...there's so many duplicate tags, it is hard to guess who you are dealing with just based on a tag.

There are a lot of people faking ther guild's tags.

Don't forget that only tags can be duplicated and guild names need to be unique, so even if there was one guild with this name, it wouldnt hurt much.

Idea is good,

Redhead Blaze · Sep 13, 2008, 06:50 PM // 18:50

sounds fun, especially when there's a ton of funny guild names which go with the tag :P

/signed (but, as always, not getting my hopes too high. then again... if ppl got their Zaishen title then why not this one, he?)

ZionHikari · Sep 13, 2008, 08:00 PM // 20:00

This could be abused for people to make their own title if they are not in a guild. Seriously how could "Your Mom" get filtered.

MisterB · Sep 13, 2008, 09:39 PM // 21:39

I don't see any reason why not, and guild display makes a fair amount of sense for a game titled: "Guild Wars." You have my signature, sir.

Now, add a poll, please.

Smilin' Assassin · Sep 13, 2008, 10:01 PM // 22:01

/claps .. a wonderful idea~!

as one who no longer bothers with titles, this one I'll wear~!
it's the name of the game after all ..

/signed

hm, to please those who prefer to remain guildless, perhaps the little tag to the right can be optional, at least they'll get less spam then ..

/report feature still works, and probably those guilds would be forced to disban.
Sounds like a good idea.
Maybe add something for tags
[xxxx] - member
(xxxx) - officer
{xxxx} - guild leader

-Lotus- · Sep 14, 2008, 08:57 PM // 20:57

I just though of something. if this were implemented they would have to make a restriction on guild names so that no one would have guilds named after titles.

Sai Rith · Sep 14, 2008, 10:08 PM // 22:08

/signed. No downside to this. Lol offensive guild names? Just report the name or man up and learn that it is just a game and get over it.
