Please make cape changing and guild name changing cheaper. A freakin' 2K to change the colour of the cape is doable, but way to expensive. I really like to re-name my guild, but I already have a hall. If I want to change the name now, I have to get myself a new hall as well, for a freakin' 20K totally.

Great idea that way everyone will change their guild name everyday for a cheap price + noone will know who's who. If you think a celestial sigil is expensive now, you're obviously new to the game. When this game first came out, sigils were going for 80k until they gradually dropped in price. So looking at it now 20k doesn't seem all that expensive. When you change your name, it's a new guild altogether. Money sinks exist for a reason

So don't complain to anet asking them to make everything cheaper just cause you don't feel like shelling out the money. Especially for 20k ROFL You can make that easily using any cookie cutter farming build here on these forums.

You can't afford 2k? How often are you changing your capes?

I am not a farmer. 20K is a weeks questing for me. I have a one-person guild. I hate it when elitists tell me that that much money is easy to get. I am sorry, but I don't have a 55monk, and no character capable of ettin farming. I don't want to be forced to play that way. A Guild name shouldn't be such a big hassle, once you have a hall.
I never find any green stuff either, so I won't get any rich of trade spamming either. Simple players, like me, deserve a brake too. This is not a game for only elitists.

I can do that, but it is way to expensive. What if I simply want a deeper shade of red?

Or you could ask your guild-members to donate some funds (they will be wearing the new cape too...) I mean, with 4 or so members (small guild), 500g each isn't that much

Your a one man guild + don't farm? How do you plan on inviting ppl to your guild? Can you even spare the 100g for invites?

I don't beleive you've thought this whole thing thru. btw invites used to be free

Silent Kitty · Mar 31, 2006, 02:41 PM // 14:41

I guess you all missed my point. A guild name only cost 100G But when you have a hall, changing the name is no longer that cheap. Changing the cape cost 2K, which is way to expensive when you only want to change the background a bit. Forget that, it isn't that important. Which leaves us at the namechange, once you have a hall. In that case it cost you 100G registration again, and about 20K if you want to have your hall again. Changing the name, without losing the hall, should be possible.
You get it now?

PS. I don't invite people (I am not a man either)

HawkofStorms · Mar 31, 2006, 07:42 PM // 19:42

You are in a perminant one person guild with a Guild Hall with no plans on inviting anybody else.
Sry, but you don't need a guild hall then in the first place.

Change the name of your guild at random? That would cuase chaos.

Its specifically designed where you CANT do that...If you could there would be no use for the Guild Ladder/rank system becuase you'd never be able to keep up with it.

If you want to change guilds (and thus halls) every day or w/e thats your agenda, but its stupid because you only need guild halls when you have 8+ members and can use the hall. If you choose to take the cost upon yourself then we cant stop you...you just have to except the high cost.

EF2NYD · Mar 31, 2006, 08:59 PM // 20:59

Having a Guild Hall requires a team contribution most of the time. No team, no hall.

Winterclaw · Mar 31, 2006, 09:37 PM // 21:37

Sounds like a good idea to me. There might be a problem with guilds in the tournament, but perhaps the devs could program it in so that the names will alternate for the first week or two so people can get used to the change... and it isn't like some guilds will restart things again just for the challenge of working up the ladder.

Here's another suggestion for guild capes: you should be able to change them back to an old one for free, meaning once you paid the 2K you can use that cape whenever you want to and if you ever want to use it again, it'll be on a list. That way guilds can go back and forth if they want to without any hassle.

Rayea · Mar 31, 2006, 09:50 PM // 21:50

winterclaw, thats a good idea (the reuse oder cloak model)

hows about, so you dont go changing your guild name every day or so....
guildname change requires one MONTH wait befor you can change again....

kitty, im in there with you, i too am a one woman guild...i used to have another memeber, but he recently stopped playing due to skillnerf ect....(and the fact he is now addicted to WoW lol)
originally, i wanted to be a newbie helper guild, but since there was no guild storeage, i was stuck....
unlike kitty, though, i have yet to collect enough to get a guildhall, so i could change my guilds name at the drop of a hat..(since i also have no cape yet...i was hoping they would implement a invisible cape part an once they did, i just never got around to getting one made....looking forward to the new designs with factions though)

ok, to the naysayer, theres no reason why a *big* guild would change its name allthe time....i mean, they WANT to be recognised, right?
its us little guys that sometimes want to change names....manes that looked cool and imaginitive are now stale and noobish feeling to some...they want to change them, but if they have a Hall, they might not be able to afford to.

(and no, not everyone has a lot of gld, rich guildies or enough in game cash to get a new guildhall often)

Guilds are designed with many players in mind, not one. You can't seriously expect it to work the way you want it to.

To ask that they change things to cater to, not just one guild, but one person is ridiculous.

Silent Kitty · Mar 31, 2006, 09:58 PM // 21:58

Personally think the consensus amongs long time players, farmers and farmbot owners is that prices shouldn't go lower. When I was still a newbie, I imediately started to safe my money. I thought the price of a hall was about 70K than, so I got that money. When I arrived in Lion's Arch (I believe), it turned out to be only 17K. What I want to say is, that the price will not stop newbies from getting a hall. One can easily farm 70K in pre-sear. That was what I did.
I just want to be able to change the guild name, without losing the hall. I have worked very hard for it, while the name only cost 100G. Is that to much to ask? Put a pricetag on the hall as high as you want, but please give people a chance to change the name. It is tough, for below average players like me, to get that much of money over and over again.
The majority of my guild wants a namechange, without having to lose an arm, leg, a kidney and a high mortage on our homes.

sakura75 · Mar 31, 2006, 10:20 PM // 22:20

I think that changing a guild's name that is not in the ladder or participating in GvGs should be doable for a much cheaper price. But still I have some questions purely to answer my curiosity.
1) Why not remain guildless if you are a solo player? A good friendslist will be fine.
2) Why buying a GH if you do not participate in GvG or have no other guildies to meet?
3) Don't you think playing in a good/friendly guild would be an enrichment for you playing GW? Believe me it is an eye-opener (positively and negatively)

Rayea · Mar 31, 2006, 10:41 PM // 22:41

sakura...

remaining guildless is sometimes too much of a hastle...
ever has some random person PM (whisper) you wanting to know..'do u want 2 be in my guild? we got cape, hall website ect?'
when you explain that you dont want to , some say, oh, kk but others try the hard sell on you....and usually cause they think your a girl and want you tou stare at (at least, i have had that problem)

one person guilds are the solution to that.

why buy a hall when your just one person?
well, i want a home in guildwars, but i cant have one...so a hall is the closest i can have to one right now....its MINE, you see.....i OWN it....its not about boasting or stuff like that, its just having somehwere to all YOURS sometimes

also, if by some mirracle, they give me the things i need to *become* a newbie helper guild..(storeage in guild and for guild in the towns/outposts, a reason to quest as a guild (not connected to factions directly) traders/NPC/crafters in guildhall, rooms/tavern/little temple to the gods/ training area/1x1 to 4x4 training arena ect.)....then i will become an active guild...in which case, the cost of a celectial will skyrocket, i predict, ether cause theres more of a reason other than GvG and PvP to have a guild...or because theres some kick-ass Factions halls that everyone starts tradingin the worn out warriors isle hall for lol

playing in a good/friendly guild.....very, VERY hard to find.....once found, you have to be compatable with them, just like they have to be with you...
what is the point of spending months of in game serching to find a nice/friendly guild, only to find out they have all buggered off to WoW or whatever the new game is (in respect to RPG and PvE orientated guilds) or that your not a good enough PvP'er to be alowed into the guild (which will become more prevolent once Factions is implemented..after all, who wants deadweight in their guild when their fightin for the control of a town/city/map area?

Winterclaw · Mar 31, 2006, 10:43 PM // 22:43

I can't answer for silent kitty, but I know people make one person guilds just so they can have a cape they like.
