I actually forget what this is called exactly because I have none of them up right now.... I am sure you all know what I mean though. This is a cool new feature, because no matter what your guild rank is you can see your last GVG for 24 hours. That is how it should work anyhow, but there are some issues.

I will explain how it works now for those not familiar with the problem, then suggest some improvements.

* If you are let's say rank 500 and you do your last GVG for the day, it will stay up for 24 hours no problem and that is great. It is really important for guilds struggling to improve to be able to see their matches too.

* No matter what rank you are, if you do a scrimmage it is going to appear in the guild battles. Of course, this overwrites any actual GVG because scrimmages work like a GVG against your own guild. I don't understand why most guilds would even care to observe a scrimmage. If you use your guild for dueling or sealed play tourneys I could see it maybe. If you really need to observe a scrim for testing purposes, ok. Generally, I don't want to see them and care a lot more about actual GVGs.

* If you are top 100 all of your real matches are on regular observer mode for everyone, so they don't get saved to recent battles at all. Matches don't stay up that long and you often enter halfway through. I know that we would find it useful to look at our matches later on too.

* If you are under rank 100 the only matches that will save are ones not on regular observer. If you are close to getting top 100, you care a lot more about matches vs top 100 than sub 100 teams.

- Solutions:

* This is probably asking too much, but this is the ideal situation as I see it. Allow the recent matches category to save up to 3 battles.... Any scrimmage, any match against sub 100 guilds, any match against top 100 guilds. I know that saving all these matches takes up server space/bandwidth for ANET so I can't expect them to do this anyways.

* Simple changes like no scrimmages or save any match, even if it was top 100 vs top 100 and on real observer.

* Add a tab for the guild leader for other guild options like.. "Don't save scrimmages to my guild battles". I am sure people could come up with other ideas for stuff on this tab.

That is all. Tell me if you can think of anything else.
