Guildname change to expensive!
Silent Kitty
Please make cape changing and guild name changing cheaper. A freakin' 2K to change the colour of the cape is doable, but way to expensive. I really like to re-name my guild, but I already have a hall. If I want to change the name now, I have to get myself a new hall as well, for a freakin' 20K totally.

Great idea that way everyone will change their guild name everyday for a cheap price + noone will know who's who. If you think a celestial sigil is expensive now, you're obviously new to the game. When this game first came out, sigils were going for 80k until they gradually dropped in price. So looking at it now 20k doesn't seem all that expensive. When you change your name, it's a new guild altogether. Money sinks exist for a reason
So don't complain to anet asking them to make everything cheaper just cause you don't feel like shelling out the money. Especially for 20k ROFL You can make that easily using any cookie cutter farming build here on these forums.

I never find any green stuff either, so I won't get any rich of trade spamming either. Simple players, like me, deserve a brake too. This is not a game for only elitists.

Or you could ask your guild-members to donate some funds (they will be wearing the new cape too...) I mean, with 4 or so members (small guild), 500g each isn't that much

Your a one man guild + don't farm? How do you plan on inviting ppl to your guild? Can you even spare the 100g for invites?
I don't beleive you've thought this whole thing thru. btw invites used to be free
Silent Kitty
I guess you all missed my point. A guild name only cost 100G But when you have a hall, changing the name is no longer that cheap. Changing the cape cost 2K, which is way to expensive when you only want to change the background a bit. Forget that, it isn't that important. Which leaves us at the namechange, once you have a hall. In that case it cost you 100G registration again, and about 20K if you want to have your hall again. Changing the name, without losing the hall, should be possible.
You get it now?
PS. I don't invite people (I am not a man either)

You are in a perminant one person guild with a Guild Hall with no plans on inviting anybody else.
Sry, but you don't need a guild hall then in the first place.

Change the name of your guild at random? That would cuase chaos.
Its specifically designed where you CANT do that...If you could there would be no use for the Guild Ladder/rank system becuase you'd never be able to keep up with it.
If you want to change guilds (and thus halls) every day or w/e thats your agenda, but its stupid because you only need guild halls when you have 8+ members and can use the hall. If you choose to take the cost upon yourself then we cant stop you...you just have to except the high cost.

Having a Guild Hall requires a team contribution most of the time. No team, no hall.
Winterclaw
Sounds like a good idea to me. There might be a problem with guilds in the tournament, but perhaps the devs could program it in so that the names will alternate for the first week or two so people can get used to the change... and it isn't like some guilds will restart things again just for the challenge of working up the ladder.
Here's another suggestion for guild capes: you should be able to change them back to an old one for free, meaning once you paid the 2K you can use that cape whenever you want to and if you ever want to use it again, it'll be on a list. That way guilds can go back and forth if they want to without any hassle.

winterclaw, thats a good idea (the reuse oder cloak model)
hows about, so you dont go changing your guild name every day or so....
guildname change requires one MONTH wait befor you can change again....
kitty, im in there with you, i too am a one woman guild...i used to have another memeber, but he recently stopped playing due to skillnerf ect....(and the fact he is now addicted to WoW lol)
originally, i wanted to be a newbie helper guild, but since there was no guild storeage, i was stuck....
unlike kitty, though, i have yet to collect enough to get a guildhall, so i could change my guilds name at the drop of a hat..(since i also have no cape yet...i was hoping they would implement a invisible cape part an once they did, i just never got around to getting one made....looking forward to the new designs with factions though)
ok, to the naysayer, theres no reason why a *big* guild would change its name allthe time....i mean, they WANT to be recognised, right?
its us little guys that sometimes want to change names....manes that looked cool and imaginitive are now stale and noobish feeling to some...they want to change them, but if they have a Hall, they might not be able to afford to.
(and no, not everyone has a lot of gld, rich guildies or enough in game cash to get a new guildhall often)

To ask that they change things to cater to, not just one guild, but one person is ridiculous.
Silent Kitty
Personally think the consensus amongs long time players, farmers and farmbot owners is that prices shouldn't go lower. When I was still a newbie, I imediately started to safe my money. I thought the price of a hall was about 70K than, so I got that money. When I arrived in Lion's Arch (I believe), it turned out to be only 17K. What I want to say is, that the price will not stop newbies from getting a hall. One can easily farm 70K in pre-sear. That was what I did.
I just want to be able to change the guild name, without losing the hall. I have worked very hard for it, while the name only cost 100G. Is that to much to ask? Put a pricetag on the hall as high as you want, but please give people a chance to change the name. It is tough, for below average players like me, to get that much of money over and over again.
The majority of my guild wants a namechange, without having to lose an arm, leg, a kidney and a high mortage on our homes.

I think that changing a guild's name that is not in the ladder or participating in GvGs should be doable for a much cheaper price. But still I have some questions purely to answer my curiosity.
1) Why not remain guildless if you are a solo player? A good friendslist will be fine.
2) Why buying a GH if you do not participate in GvG or have no other guildies to meet?
3) Don't you think playing in a good/friendly guild would be an enrichment for you playing GW? Believe me it is an eye-opener (positively and negatively)

sakura...
remaining guildless is sometimes too much of a hastle...
ever has some random person PM (whisper) you wanting to know..'do u want 2 be in my guild? we got cape, hall website ect?'
when you explain that you dont want to , some say, oh, kk but others try the hard sell on you....and usually cause they think your a girl and want you tou stare at (at least, i have had that problem)
one person guilds are the solution to that.
why buy a hall when your just one person?
well, i want a home in guildwars, but i cant have one...so a hall is the closest i can have to one right now....its MINE, you see.....i OWN it....its not about boasting or stuff like that, its just having somehwere to all YOURS sometimes
also, if by some mirracle, they give me the things i need to *become* a newbie helper guild..(storeage in guild and for guild in the towns/outposts, a reason to quest as a guild (not connected to factions directly) traders/NPC/crafters in guildhall, rooms/tavern/little temple to the gods/ training area/1x1 to 4x4 training arena ect.)....then i will become an active guild...in which case, the cost of a celectial will skyrocket, i predict, ether cause theres more of a reason other than GvG and PvP to have a guild...or because theres some kick-ass Factions halls that everyone starts tradingin the worn out warriors isle hall for lol
playing in a good/friendly guild.....very, VERY hard to find.....once found, you have to be compatable with them, just like they have to be with you...
what is the point of spending months of in game serching to find a nice/friendly guild, only to find out they have all buggered off to WoW or whatever the new game is (in respect to RPG and PvE orientated guilds) or that your not a good enough PvP'er to be alowed into the guild (which will become more prevolent once Factions is implemented..after all, who wants deadweight in their guild when their fightin for the control of a town/city/map area?

Kitty, if you ask me, that reflects poorly on the guild and the player if they can't wait 15-20 minutes to let him finish his obligation in a mission. I will say that I haven't had that happen to me very much so part of it might be your luck.

ontopic - The name change price drop would certainly cause some confusion with people changing guild names a lot like some have already said, but I do like the idea of a name-change limit.
I like having a guild
1. for a cape
2. for pvp
3. so I can form a group for any mission without spamming LFG all the time.
but thats just me.

Do you need to be in a guild to fully explore GW: Factions? I heard something about guild leader choosing the L or K side ...

I heard that you can talk to the Canthan Ferry Captain at Lion's arch and tell him you want to shop for a guild hall, and that once you are in a different guild hall, you tell him you want to switch guild halls and he gives you your sigil back so you can buy a different hall. At which point you can sell the sigil, or in your case, disband and recreate your guild, and choose your guild hall again.
I am not the guild leader of my guild, so I have not been able to try this, but I thought I might mention it since it could save you a lot of money. If it is not true, sorry...just trying to save you the time of farming 20k.

It is not the money, but it is simply way to expesive losing a guild hall, just because you want to change the name.

And yes.. i agree with what some people have said about guilds just changing their names too much. Its the same with changing your character name, they want to make it as realistic as possible- most people dont change their name one day just because they done like it.

yes, its, by the definintions the game uses, since *anyONE* can form a guild.
personally, i am rooting for a Mini-Guild system so that those of us who want to make small guilds (from one person up to 25 memebers) can do so without having to work s hard at it.
obviously, we would loose out on certain aspects of the game, such as...
we would get a smaller hall...example, the current Halls become named Guild Isles...and one large Isle becomes around 8 different Fort-style Halls for Mini-Guilds (so rather than a celestial sigil, you pay about half the price for a Star Sigil for a hall)
mini-guild can only GvG against OTHER mini-guild, have no ladder (or if asked anough, they own little ladder)
Mini-guild dont get as much of everytihng as a full size guild would, of course.
if at any time, you wanted to upgrade to full size guild, just go talk to the guild hall manager and select upgrade. pay the difference between a celestial to Star sigil (noted at the original time of purchase, so you dont have to pay more or les dependingon the markets flux) and there ya go, chief...your now a Full Sized Guild
simply because somone has yet to find a person they trust, can play with and like, that they might aske them into their guild, dose not make thier guild a non-entity

one possible reason is that if a quick easy, cheap guild name change were possible think of the maggots coming out of the wooswork with their cute obscene name guild just to see how long they could offend people before being told to change it.this makes some of them think that the price of doing that is too high.
