Guild requirement

Perhaps an absurd idea.

When a new member joins a guild that member must participate in a gvg battle within a certain time frame or be auto-booted from the guild.

This is a one time only requirement per guild.
Eg. Ben joins guild A, he has 30 days to participate in a gvg battle (win or loss doesn't matter)
Ben does this, now that requirement is erased and he does not have to gvg again ever.

However if Ben leaves guild A for Guild B he must once again gvg within 30 days.

Consider it initiation.

30 days may be short though so 45,60 days maybe.

fits in with roleplay, and somewhat eases people into a new environment as their guild leader would probably set up a match for the new players so that they can permanently be in the guild.


Maybe its absurd >.>

Some guilds don't do a lot of GvG though.....

It is absurd... I didn't do a GvG with my guild until 10 months after I joined, and my first guild never got enough members to do a full GvG.

/notsigned - Sorry, there are many, many guilds out there that don't GvG. And if there were a requirement such as this, most non-GvG type guilds would just throw together a group, enter a guild battle, and give their opponents an easy win. Which makes it a total waste of time for everyone.

My guild has never (and most likely will never) GvG before. This is a terrible idea.

idea fails at so many levels

don't force people into something they don't want, a game should stay fun and enjoyable rather than filled with stuff "you have to do"

What's the point of this requirement or any requirement? It's not that hard for the leader/officers to see who they need to kick for not participating in guild acivities. I also heard there are PvE guilds.

As leader of a small PvE Guild that has never done GvG I'd get auto kicked from my own Guild, if I'm honest that would probably upset me a bit

i think a requirement would be useful though i dont think a gvg battle would be the best. so if it was like a tab the officers and leader could select things like must have x rank in x title, players must have x amount of hours playing, or players must compeat in a x arena battle and win.

what i am basically saying is if they where to add a tab which allowed the guild leader or officer options that they could set as requirements would be a much better idea.

Absurd? THIS IS DUMB!

But seriously, not all guilds GvG. Even for guilds that do GvG, there would be no point to this.

Guild with 3 members? Yes, they do exist. Guilds that have 50+ members and NEVER GvG? Yes, they do exist.

The idea is absurd, and does not consider the fact that some people don't play PvP, GvG, HA, etc. at all. Why force those people to do what they don't want to?

my guild tried GvG a few times and all of us (those of us in the guild at the time) agreed that it sucked and we all went back to strictly PvE. It should be up to the individual guilds on what is required in the guild. No one should be FORCED to do something in-game that they dont like. If I was required to do a guild battle (even just 1 time) to be in any guild, I would not belong to a guild at all.

You shouldn't force people to do something they don't want to do.

I'd get kicked from my own guild under those rules.. which would leave my hubby bouncing around on his own in the (utterly pointless) Guild Hall we have.

Yes we do particpate in the odd skirmish against each other just for laughs.

You realize that everyone in my guild/alliance would be booted, including the leaders? What an great idea!

/fail

As already mentioned there are guilds/alliances that DO pvp at all. I joined one for that soul reason. PvP is not for everyone. Would you also add the option that every player has to do missions in PvE to balance this? What about PvP only accounts?

My guild hasn't GvGed in 2 and a half years. It's called a PvE guild. Besides, what about the new players? I don't think a lvl 5 wants to play full scale PvP.

/not signed There are 2 people in my guild we started it to get people to stop asking us to join their guild. We HATE PvP and never want to do it ever. Now wouldn't it be a bit foolish for me and my guild mate to be fighting another guild with a full roster!!!

Do some research and find out how many guilds are PvE ONLY before posting ideas like this.

There is no point of doing a gvg if the member has no clue what they are doing...

Uh, /notsigned. I've been in a guild over a year, am an officer, and have never been in a gvg. My guild doesn't gvg. That's like saying all PVP chars should be forced to PVE through a campaign or lose access to HA. No sense at all.

I want to amend this proposal. Every female elementalist should spent one hour each month dancing naked in the infamous cage at the LA merchants, or suffer a 72 hour ban.

What prompted this suggestion might I ask?

If guilds want to uphold an absurd requirement like this, then they should do it on their own. There is absolutely no reason why this should be an innate game mechanic.

New guild is formed. Guild leader goes recruiting, gets 6 members and trains them. Was looking for last member to GvG when timeframe is up. All his members get kicked.

LOL?
