So, with all these warband changes unifying your account is there or will a feature come to join a guild with your warband as a whole rather than per character?
Personally I can not see why you would want to be in different guilds with different characters but having the option for either would be nice such as it is for the friend list and communities.
With the added ease of managing alts now having to join/leave a guild for each one just seem like an hassle for everyone involved.
P.S. It would also make for a tidier members list and easier to see how many members you actually have. (for those larger guilds)
I think this could be better for Communities. Their limits are rather annoying.
Although it could make for a rather crowded roster list, perhaps it should only show Online members or somethingā¦
I get that and it does not have to be the standard but having the option to invite an account for those who would want it I can only see as a benefit.
And although I have not used the community function myself to me that seems like that is the intended use for having a collection of people to do a specific content.
As for the membership cap would not 1 account take less space than 65 alts?
Your friend list has a cap and I doubt that takes into account for every character you have across all your battle.net games.
But sure I do not know how the guild system is implemented and it might need a rework for this to work.
In wow there is no such thing as āoptionsā or āchoiceā. There is only āthe correct wayā to play the game.
I do not want it to become a standard for guild leaders to demand players to use their warband as their guild bank or to contribute to the guild in a way i dont want them to.
That should be done.
I donāt want even try to remember all alts of my guild members. I also have 3 chars in the same guild but I am sure almost no one know that they all belongs to me. The reason why guild chat is dead, cuz people playing from different chars all the time and you just donāt know them all.
What would be an interesting idea would be for guilds to create āAllegiancesā which would be like the Allied Races but for guild.
As an example, if you have one guild called Alpha and another called Beta, either of their guild leaders can nominate the other guild as one to have an āAllegianceā with and then if Alpha needed extra people for a raid, they could send a message to Beta to ask for help. Then the people from Beta raid with Alpha but it would apply all the things like reputation and other stuff to their own guild (for example, Guild Edition stuff).
Now if a player in Beta was in a dungeon with some people from a guild called Gamma, then the guild leader of Beta can nominate the guild Gamma for an Allegiance. Now Beta would have TWO guilds they could do raids with in a more convenient way than having to ask for puggers.
My idea is that each guild could have up to twenty different active Allegiances at any time.
Disclaimer: No existing guilds were used intentionally as examples in this post.
I think the OPs idea is good as an option. Having to use addons like Guild Roster Manager to keep track of peopleās alts, and having to get re-invited on alts, is kind of annoying.
People are freaking out in this thread because they think the OP suggested that this should be the only way to join a guild, which he didnāt.
To people claiming it canāt be done: unless youāre a software engineer on the WoW team, youāre not qualified to make that statement.
Please stop pretending Iām not informing people how the current system works and if you had quoted me in full would have seen I even said:-
Equally Iām perfectly entitled to join in any discussion and express my opinion. Which in this case is that I would not want to be in a guild with all 65 characters.
When youāre in a new guild every other patch or so (like some people cough cough) it does seem rather silly to join a guild with your entire warband. However, for most people this seems like a nice option to have. Or something like making one of your characters the default and with a simple click your other warband characters could also be in the same guild.
Itās amazing that people would move guilds or that guilds disband etc, itās even more incredible that you take such a great interest in what I do personally. I donāt really know how to thank such a loyal fan for paying such great attention to every little thing I do. I would find it exhausting to fangirl over someone else in this way.
I know plenty of people who do not want to be in a guild with all their characters. Nor would they want to lose their guild banks that a huge portion of the playerbase currently utilise. Many of us are long term players.
At this point its just become funny to notice You could put your own guild as the default and every new character would be in that one and youād be free to hop around with your main.
Having it be a simple option to click would be handy is all Iām saying. Theres no downside to it. But you do you, long term player.
