I was thinking about titles today for some reason and decided this might be a good idea.

What It Does:
Displays Guild Name Under Your Character

What It Doesn't:
Count As A Max Title

edit:
Since this title would allow people to possibly display inappropriate guild names, it would be nice to also add onto the Report System to allow it to report guild names.

edit2:
In order to discourage people from creating fake title guilds I suggest dropping down the guild tag when the title is displayed so that it is behind the guild name and not the character name.

Ex.

--------
It might seem kinda dumb but I figured it'd be something neat and might be a way to get your guild name out and known in-game rather than just from forums. Plus you see so many duplicate tags it'd be nice to see some individuality.

Okay sign this now

Your guild is already displayed on the right side of your name. Not really any need to have it as a title so /notsigned sorry

there are tons of duplicate tags, and its impossible to distinguish guilds based on them.

Nick, that's just your guild tag, and mabye guilds have duplicate tags.

I think it would be a cool idea.. mabye even the option of having leader/officer after your guild name too?

I don't see why not, especially if its not counted as a max title. I'm guessing that as soon as you join a guild, the title appears in the title selection as the guild's name.

I like it - I'd add an option (aka not required) to show if you're an officer in case people want to join your guild, kinda like Sparky said above.

Great idea. With this in place you can now share your great guild name(which some people take hours or even days to come up with one) to the GW ingame community.

eh not overly fussed, but thats because i'm not in a guild anymore - i don't play enough to warrant being in one.
wouldn't complain if it got added, wouldn't care if it didn't either.
i guess /signed to add to the list.

Exploiter, unless you want to see the person's displayed title by hovering your mouse over their name, you're not going to see XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX under it. I think this is a rather ok idea, so /signed

Nice! I'd love it. At least something simple, that doesn't require grinding, and it's for fun.

Anyway, I don't display any titles, as they don't mean anything anymore...
Unless it's "Canthan explorer"... In HA. ;)

So I like the idea.

Maybe you could have a different coloured guild name there if you were a leader or officer?
That way it wouldn't be to long.

it would bother you to have xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx under some names, but titles like "Connoisseur of Confectionaries" or "Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer" are ok? ehh, these are long and i can't see them annoying.

Also this is really great idea, for example: there's [Koss] guild in our alliance and i'm keep meeting ppl [Koss] tags outside our alliance - same tag, but different names, someone outside our ally would think it's both same guild - this idea is really great imo, but wouldn't work too great if you had both title + guild name displayed - i say either guild name or title(heck, even make it a title that doesn't count towards KoABD)

Any guilds with overtly offensive names that bypassed the filter would show up. I'd give some examples, but I don't want to get banned on guru

While I like the idea in principal, in pratice I fear what sorta stuff would get displayed. I think a.net limited guilds to using tags for a reason, (much like how Halo 3 makes tags that are like H93, G30, K22) to prevent offensive abuse of the system.

I think it could create a market for guild names which would be extremely awesome.

I don't see it being any different than people avoiding the filter with character names. Perhaps also upgrade the Report system to report offensive guild names then? Doesn't seem to hard to implement.

this idea is fail....the guild tag is already there, people dont need to be bogged w your annoying guild names, hence the way it already is.

would rather just display the guild name and tag below my name and leave room for displaying a real title. like:

My Cool Name
My Cool Guild [MCG] (L) (L = leader, O = officer, M = member)
I'm Very Important (3)

i think the old system worked fine for a long time, but 3 years into the game...there's so many duplicate tags, it is hard to guess who you are dealing with just based on a tag.

Don't forget that only tags can be duplicated and guild names need to be unique, so even if there was one guild with this name, it wouldnt hurt much.

Idea is good,

This could be abused for people to make their own title if they are not in a guild. Seriously how could "Your Mom" get filtered.

I don't see any reason why not, and guild display makes a fair amount of sense for a game titled: "Guild Wars." You have my signature, sir.

it's the name of the game after all ..

hm, to please those who prefer to remain guildless, perhaps the little tag to the right can be optional, at least they'll get less spam then ..

/report feature still works, and probably those guilds would be forced to disban.
Sounds like a good idea.
Maybe add something for tags
[xxxx] - member
(xxxx) - officer
{xxxx} - guild leader

I just though of something. if this were implemented they would have to make a restriction on guild names so that no one would have guilds named after titles.

/signed. No downside to this. Lol offensive guild names? Just report the name or man up and learn that it is just a game and get over it.
