I've played with several members (friends of friends/guildies) and I also know that people speak with high regards of the alliance.
For me a PvE guild/alliance could never be the 'best guild in history', since PvE guilds can have very different objectives and be good at that.
PvP.... Don't know a lot about the early days, to be honest.
Some names pop in my mind, others mentioned them already.
But I can't tell which one would be the best

*blush* thanks again
And Yes I agree with you, PvE guilds have such a wide variety of aims, culture and everything else in between there is no such thing as 'best'
Best is where you are happiest and have the most fun at I guess.
Onto the PvP perspective. It might be fun if we ever had a GvG 'all stars' tournament where the top 5 guilds from each year had a tournament. I know some would be disadvantaged due to time away, but it's a fun idea to think about.

Old school: War Machine, Bring Back the Rifts, Sissy Boys, Last Pride, Esoteric Warriors, Idiot Savants.
New school: Delta Formation, Dark Alley, Rebel Rising, Supernova Japan.

I dunno I just can't think of a new school guild that real destroys everyone,after you watch people like WM and EviL play its just not the same.

Hmm funny how no one has mentioned vD in here.
i remember abouta year ago they were holding #1 for a long time and i loved watching their matches and how they always won. Not sure how they played against americans. Or maybe i was jsut too misinformed
Anyway id give Virtual Dragons[vD] my vote

I remember playing against QQ when they were in their prime, and seeing how their play and positioning seemed flawless. Just by virtue of position and pressure, they were practically invulnerable. They were incredibly good.
Old iQ, also, was pretty amazing.
But EvIL just didn't lose, not at all. Even WM lost sometimes. EvIL was definitely the best ever, for a short while untouchable.
Imo, the best around today is DF. Skilled and relentless.

If I remeber right a guild called sissy boys was a one of the top guilds as well, I know they beat war machine once, I think they might have beat iQ as well. Anyhow I believe that guild is gone, if im not mistaken.

Real old school guilds:
Nu, Char, sB, IVEX, Te, ZPZG, eP, iQ, RIFT, Prav, MS
Then:
WM, EvIL, iQ, QQ, KGYU, SPNV, EW, PnH, OUT, Te again, iGi
Now:
rawr, DF, dR, ei, cE, Castration (cant think of tag for the life of me atm), HAND, vD, and a few others i cant think of due to me about to pass out.

My favorite guild was War Machine but i must say that The Last Pride were better.
Just go look Historical Ladders, They got at place 1 four times...
But thats just the ladder but i remember seeing them beating WM :P
Anyways, Best guild: The last Pride [EviL]

PvP: WM and EviL, no doubt
PvE: i'd say DVDF before they started to run everything yellowway or ursanway

Kinda OT, but I refuse to run Ursanway, but i'm not such a control freak as to ban it's use. I just discourage it. The vast majority of players in DVDF run balanced and are pretty darned good, the FoW clear we did in 1hr 1 min was by a pure balanced team for example.
BTW Phear, if I remember rightly a character called Phear me you Foo helped the 12 or so people develop yellow way, was that you?
---
Anyway, I still go with WM and EVIL as the top GvG guilds of all time. Their movement, and tactical ability was immense.
HA guilds are difficult to measure, the ones I remember holding for ages and ages were Marvel superheroes, Sissy boys, Power of my rangers and MATHS. Sir covesman also won loads of times, and was always good for a Euro favor win or so.

Anyways, best guild: PnH, they have been running in the top for such a long time. Te being a good second.
Nowadays: dR, DF, cE.

Old: EvlL/WM/iGi
Since Ladder Reset: None. It's been fair game, no guilds have dominated without dropping out of it. The old guilds retired while they were still good, but the new guilds have not actually retired, they played good, then played bad.

Then again, I agree that EvIL would pull that sinsplit BS that I see, and thus I wouldn't have any respect.
Te and PnH though. They were always nice, solid, and consistent.
Blame the Monks
My all time top 5:
Evil, WM, iQ, EW, eF
Honorable mentions:
Te, Rift, cow, QQ, MH, IVEX, Sissy Boys, EP, DF, Rawr, Reno, PnH, KGYU, ZPZG, Spnv, and VD.
Those were guilds I thought were at the top of the game and/or legit championship contenders. A lot of my best memories were watching or playing with/against these guys. Other guilds were good too, but these were the ones I feared.

Don't mistake builds designed to goof off with and designed to be played with an attitude of pure sillyness once in a while to how things are all the time.

Yes Phear Me You Foo is me, and yes i helped to develop yellow way and i've always been a member of DVDF (you might remember me as Crowster). I'd lie if i said that Yellow way aint a fun build to run, but it's really not hard to run and so on.
And my view of DVDF is some of the best players in this community helping eachother out and can rule any area in this game without having to search for an xxxx with that special build, but just throw throw and amount of players together and finnish of that specific quest/mission/elite area that someone needed or just simply do it for fun.
And i might be the wrong person to write that most of DVDF run yellow/Ursan way, but that's the view that i've got of you guys recently by talking to some friends that's still in DVDF.
My point is that i had more respect for that DVDF that cleared FoW and Tombs with all mesmer teams with the same speed as a normal team than a DVDF that's running DoA ursanway or yellowway.
but then again, i might be wrong. But it's the view i've got of DVDF atm.
-----
And i'll still stick to WM and EviL, and for a single person within PvP it's a one man race, Power Of My Rangers.

ETA: corrected the %

The guild I enjoyed watching most was actually Wash Machine, playing their spirit/hex/condi-spam build, because they just raped pretty much every team (with the exception of a few guilds, I believe they got owned by Prizewinning Hogs once) Yes, I know it was a lame build, but it was still very amusing to obs.
Anyways, list of the best guilds imo:
Team Everfrost
Virtual Dragons
Sweetie Animal Girl
War Machine
The Last Pride
I Guild I
The Benecia Renovatio
Idiot Savants
Clan Detained
Storm Bearers
Treacherous Empire

I generally PVE, and from the times I've been in a random group with SMS (was like over 2 months ago XD) and LaZY their members were very good.
However, I would also shamelessly nominate my old guild SNOW and my present TAM in terms of PVE skill.
In PVP, all those good ol names.

Rites of Passage was my first guild, and a great one too.
It's primarily PvE, and it had a site of its own (I dunno if it's still up anymore).
However, most players were in the mediterranean timezone, so players in the U.S. will have less guildies to meet up with.
Also, despite the strong code of conduct, I must admit there have been some less-than-desirable and discrimnatory members lurking around when the officers weren't around.

i know the days [evil] were (seemly) unbeatable, until this guild named: sacrament of the waooru came along.
it was clearly the days of the asians.
though of course TE, iQ, PnH, val, ew and wm kicked azz to.
i remember ppl saying evil hacked the game since noone could beat them.
*good times**good times*

I don't have much respect for WM. There leader is just a cockface and his greedness actually made EviL. If he wasn't so greed he would of had best team ever in GW. WM team after EviL guys didn't reach EviL's level at any point.
I'd list Valandor also, the first 7~ months of GW Valandor was unbeatable, hold Halls as long as they wanted and had no losses on GvG and was only guild able to take WM down during E3 games. Too bad they got some inactivity problems (mostly cause of wait times and easy matches) and other guilds reached there skill level and EviL even went above them.
After GWWC skill hasn't been as big factor in GW as Build Wars so any guilds after that doesn't fit in my list.

), so it was nice beating them in that sense. |

P.S.: There are no best Guilds, just great players. After GWWC, things started changing as newer campaigns were added and that made a lot to juggle with. If I have to pick one guild in GvG space it will be Last pride of course for unbelievable team co-ordination and having solid players in it. No one achieved the level of name recognition of Last of Master, Bloodlight Eyes or Soul Wedding. It was amazing to see Star and Soul positioning themselves in the matches. HA Guild wise, I used to love the name of Noble Savages guild call mTv pimp my guild hall or something it was called that ran 8 monk obsi spike; lame but w/e. And in PvE Space, of course I like DVDF for their Pig Foundation. I got me a mini pig too.

In my days, getting crushed by EviL was no problem since I knew they were apparently good in this game we called Guild Wars.
Funniest name of Guild I regularly saw was "Ward Against Noobs" winning hall of heroes

I would have to go with either WM, or Evil... I was around in the betas and it was always a competition to see that little phrase comin across your chat.
*War Machine [WM] has won a battle in the hall of heroes" or vice versa.
My guild at the time went against them... =/ we had no chance lol.
