Keep the capes and NO TOGGLE. haveing a cape should keep you accountable. You represent your guild. So, if you are a jerk then when ever I see someone with your same cape, I know hey that is jerk's guild over there. The same goes if you are a cool guild. Yes I know you would keep the TAG still, but so many guilds have the same tag. We had a cape issue last week actually in our guild. We used to have a pinkish V on the back. Well several members did not like it. So, we put it up for a vote as a poll in our forums. The majority of the guild voted to change the V to a darker shade of red. So, we changed it. Maybe you should light a candle instead of sitting cursing the darkness? Talk to your guild about the cape design. If you do not have a voice then it isnt that nice of a guild anyways. As far as the cape ghosting thru armor weapons and what not, that is a simple fix. That I hope will come about. In the mean time if it annoys you so much like it did me, just buy new armor. lol |
1. Accountability -- The problem with this is that while individual actions may reflect poorly on a group, it doesn't mean that everyone in that group will act as the individual in question. In effect, if someone from Europe plays on an American district for a day and had a bad time with some immature players, does that mean all the players in American districts are jerks? So I am not sure how the accountability will work in practice.
2. Identification with a Guild -- This sort of derives from the accountability aspect you mentioned above. The implication is that you believe that people can be identified by their guild capes. Personally, I find the cape nearly useless for identification purposes in the towns. Some reasons why:
--> they are not unique (that's right, it's possible for two guilds to have the same exact cape emblems that only differs a teeny bit by color gradient)
--> even when they are look different, alot of them looks nearly exactly the same (I've had the experience of mistakening someone to be in my guild because his guild cape -- dark purple to black gradient with silver emblem -- is almost exactly the same -- dark purple to navy blue gradient with silver emblem -- as that of my former guild).
3. Asking your guild to change the design -- First of all, saying this is somewhat the equivalent of saying "a cape will fit all occasions." Seriously, how can any cape design work with the monk's full tattoo set or the necro's full scar set? I once saw a monk in the Krytan coast in the tattoo set with a guild cape, and it's like someone wearing a bikini on the beach with a superman cape -- it's ridiculous and silly looking. Sometimes, it's not just the design -- it's the cape itself.
Second of all, let me ask what would have happened if you hated your cape design but the people in your guild voted not to change it? In this case, many of us would like the option of not walking around with something that looks ugly to us. Guild solidarity is not the issue -- individual's visual preferences is the choice here -- why not give people the freedom to choose?
covered too much of my behind 
Or now that I think about it, Guild letterman jackets and tee-shirts! Hey how cool would that be to see the female ele's, Rangers, etc... running around towns wearing only their guild tee-shirts and underwear...
