Reverse puting someone as leader of your guild? - Guild Wars Forums

What can you do to reverse puting someone as leader of your guild? Is there a confirmation window for puting someone as guild leader?

DeanBB · Jun 14, 2006, 08:32 PM // 20:32

I assume you accidentally promoted them to guild leader? If so, simply ask them to make you the leader again?

I would assume you could trust anyone in your guild to do so.

When we've done leader swaps before I don't remember there being a confirmation dialog but it hasn't happened enough for it to be something I remember.

Marth Reynolds · Jun 14, 2006, 08:46 PM // 20:46

there is no confirmation button when you presss that option.
so if you have selected an leader try to confince him to make you leader again.

and if they dont, then you're pretty much screwed? that sux...

If they won't give it back to you, sorta boned unfortunately... I'd make sure all the guildies knew where I was going, jot down all of their names, and PM them and reinvite them into a new guild. If you had a close guild, they should follow, but if someone isn't giving back leadership in the first place... Idunno. I know we've given leadership to other members before when there was going to be absences for a week or more, but it's always been given back freely.

shouldn't there be a confirmation window for changing guild leader? i mean, you spend a lot on a guild, cape, hall, services, etc. and it can be all lost with 1 clumsy click? cmon...

It'd be terrible if instead of kicking someone you made them leader

Whenever I'm pushing that button I make for sure that I'm doing the kicking.

TsunamiZ · Jun 15, 2006, 02:41 AM // 02:41

they should have it with a confimation button and require typing of the player's name being promoted to leader...

Fyre Brand · Jun 15, 2006, 02:51 AM // 02:51

Yes it should be like the delete a character function. You should also be really careful when promoting people, even to the officer position.

TsunamiZ · Jun 15, 2006, 04:36 AM // 04:36

A guild cannot have more than one leader. It sounds more likely that your guild has a leader and two officers. To be an officer a member must be promoted by the guild leader or another officer.

No matter what you do someone will find a way to screw it up. Have 4 dialogs, 3 other people having to agree, and a required fax in form to ANet and someone would be here saying the same thing....

Ignorance ftw... Unless you are running your settings at 800x600, (I have mine at 1280x1024) there is very, very little room between your choices when performing actions on guild members. Picking someone to be guild leader is a big deal, and there shouldn't even the the chance that it happens on accident. We have to type our name to donate faction, but not to promote someone to guild leader?
