Great idea, and good job in photoshop!

what is really needed is not this but more ranks than just leader officer and member. attach certain powers to different ranks in the guild. it would also encourage guild members to participate mroe in the guild since it would give them a gain.

This came up the other week, I defiantly agree to having more ranks in guilds and a certain level of power to each rank.

Wow, some one rezzed this thread.

But, I think I discussed this somewhere before. Oh wait, look like 3 posts from the top of the page. There is a grand total of around 5-6 things an officer or leader can be in charge of. If you take away some of those that are leader specific, the officer is only in charge of 4 things. Now you divide that among these new ranks, and each one only has 1-2 descisions to make, and that seems pretty pointless to me. Now that may not make alot of sense in type, because I am not good with words, but trust me, I don't think adding more ranks is the way to go.

And when you say that people can work to attain something, they can always attain more check marks in their responsibility section. That is alot like gaining a new rank. If we made the officer profiles public to the guild, people could marvel at the amount of responsibility you have earned, and then they could all love you.

Heh...another long-term bump for ye, Benman.

This is needed. Too many idiots play this game to allow even half the chances this game does for people to screw things up.

/signed, although this will limit my fun slightly. Last few guilds that didn't collapse on me I collapsed for fun. see how those assholes like logging in to find that they have been deleted from their precious guild! Sorry, lapsed into a Bad Guild phase again.

Benmanaha-

I could not agree with your perspective more. Great idea and great images to show you mean. I think that Anet should really read this post and institute something like this in the game.

Great job bro.

Guild membership involves several different privileges, in a similar way to forum membership. In a forum like this you can determine who can do what by making groups of members, and each group gets a set of privileges. The base privileges to choose from for a guild would be
1. Leadership (like Admin) which can make and name the groups (or guild ranks), and assign anyone in the guild to any group.
2. Invite guest (temporary visitor)
3. Invite member (at an initial low rank without any privileges)
4. Promote member to your own privilege group (such as officer)
5. Demote privileged member to basic member without privileges
6. Kick member out of guild
7. Revoke guest's privilege
8. Rename privilege groups
9. Initiate ranked GvG battle

With this structure, the existing guild system would be represented as one privilege group called Officers with at least privileges 2,3,4 and 6, and one unprivileged group called Members.
Separating the privileges like this into arbitrary groups (with perhaps a limited number of groups) would be far more flexible and meet most guilds customisation requirements.
Anyone designated a co-leader should appear in a leadership category in the roster, and this category should also be renameable by the leaders.

we had somebody in our guild that kicked every member in the guild and he left and that was one of the most annoying things.
