Well, i have a few idea's, 1 idea that i think would actually give players a better reward for supporting there guild is adding more ranks. It would be cool to get promoted to not just an officer, but more. These certain ranks get more power. I think that there should be a limit to a certain rank and these ranks will allow different things. For example, a higher rank gives the person of the rank a hp or energy bonus. This would definatly give people more of an incentive to actually support there guild, and help others out in there guilds.

Another idea i had was in the guild menu, show the players in the guilds level. It gets very terdiouse asking people there levels especially if they happen to be AFK.

My final idea on the guild system is adding a guild emblem (whatever is on the guild cape) next to players name. Of course this emblem will only be seen if u payed the 2 plat to buy the capes.

Im not sure of some of these idea's are possible to implement in the game at this point. But it would be cool if you could =D

When and where? This could cause numerous balance issues...

More ranks need to be added, but the bonuses would never happen. That would be completely abused.

Now, a "Point system" would be nice. Purchase different enhancements for the guild/guildhall. Have it so it only lasts a few days and you can refill it with points, etc.

Well, the bonuses could be minor, like 10+ hp, its not something that would completely mess with the gameplay but something that would make 2 characters in the same guild distuinguishable, or basically its just something that would allow players to feel a sort of progress with there guild, ive been in many guilds where people didnt support it and was just there for the ride, or freeloading, and i wasnt surprised, i mean, contributing to a guild isnt really necesary but if they get something out of it, then it would become more common.

Then you need to find a better guild. Bonuses in rant would only create problems in my guild since we treat everyone equally. You say only a certain number of people in the guild would be able to qualify for the bonus, but how is that supposed to be divided in large guilds that have no trouble with people supporting the guild? It would also give an advantage to small guilds that can get all their members the bonus.

More ranks is a good idea, especially if you could control the number of ranks and the things each rank could do (like starting guild battles, access to a guild vault, or the ability to invite new members). Giving a bonus to any rank like more HP or Energy throws a huge wrench in the balance of the game and makes things unfair. You're also rewarding the individual and not the guild, so it becomes a compition between guildmates for the reward.

More info in the guild window is good, especially the location of guildmates. The guild emblem next to a person's name...you can already see it on their cape, so it might be overkill (maybe not). But it would be neat if you could choose to remove your cape and the emblem would appear next to your name instead. Adding to that, choosing other options like the old guild tabard or flag or a longer cape. I like varity.
