GvG needs to have at least 8 players to start. One of the officers in our guild, his son got on and started a GvG battle with 4 henchies and dropped our rank from 700 to 3,255. is the limit would have been 8, like it should be, he wouldn't have been able to start it.

Wait... how fair is that?

There are some people who just have them and a group of friends (maybe 4 or 5 people) who would really like to GvG. They don't feel like recruiting for whatever reason. You're saying that because some idiot in your guild let his kid have access to his account and screwed your rating that guilds that have less than 8 shouldn't be able to access this part of the game?

Sorry, I disagree with that...

I'd rather see them make more controls on how and when the GvG battles occur than see the change you propose. It would be better to make unrated battles ocur the same way rated ones do (randomly picking another guild that wants to go unrated so you both can practice.)

The real issue here is... If your officer had been more responsible then that wouldn't have happened.

True dat. That officer should be shot for even letting his son know his Password.

Real Solution to ur problem: Kick that officer, Get new Officer, GvG for a day, get rank back.

You can have a GvG battle with less than 8 players. Correct me if i'm wrong...

It should take like one, maybe two hours of organized play by 8 players to go from 3200 back up to 700. You can turn things around and bring it up just as fast as it was brought down.

We've gone down to 400ish a few times after big recruiting sprees and quickly end back up around 100 after the new folks learn the ins and outs of GvG. Losses don't make it impossible to go back up again, don't get discourged, get organized, go play and get that rank back. See this as an opportunity rather than a 'woe is me'. 'Woe is me' won't get you anywhere in GW or in life.

If you enter GvG with 4 henchies you get 3 more henchies. It's a bad idea, to me, to have a full 8 people to GvG. I mean, I doubt many officers in most guilds even have kids..

What a bunch of idiots. I'm not saying that it's anet's fault or anything, I was explaining what sparked the idea. They did it for HoH why not for GvG? Plus it's just a game we're not gonna kick an officer just because his 7 year old son screwed up our rank. Jeez some of you people need lives, outside of GW.

If you're now saying that it's just a game and that some of us need lives outside of Guild Wars...why the hell did you post a thread in the first place complaining about one of your guild officer's Kids screwing up your rank and saying that GW should change GvG battles to require 8 people?

If I were you I'd kick him out for being so irresponsible! If I was a member in your guild I'd leave if you didn't kick him out! But, don't post threads about issues you don't care about, then call us idiots because you didn't like the reponses you got.

Something like that happened to me. My cousin was visiting (shes 8), and I let her mess around for awhile with a new char , and she was doing the ascalon missions, using a fiery dragon sword (this was an e/me btw), hitting flare as fast as she could. She seemed to be having fun so I let her play for awhile, and eventually I had to leave, but my family was over so I just let her stay on. When I came back a few hours later, she told me she found the coolest place! The guild hall! She had level 20's and everything on her team! The guild lord too! She told me all she did was stare at her new found "allies" that were "super-strong" and then she died. She went in alone at level 9. Our rank has dropped ever since, as we have temporarily been having breaks for GvG.

They should definately up the level cap to atleast 15+, and make it atleast TWO real people have to be in the party to commence a guild battle. Who does a solo guild battle with henchies? Or is arena net just promoting these abundant 1 man guilds that like to recruit members but never get any?

Amen... At first I was semi-diehard about guild ranking. Unfortunately, due to the growing number of idiots who claim they're the 'TOUGHEST' due to having a rank above 50 or so, I've realized that there's probably more stupid people at the upper ranks of the guild ladder and thankfully, it would seem I'm not alone in this belief...

You're #X? Top 10 guilds? Does that make you smarter than all of us? If you believe so, then I hope you don't mind me believing that you're one of those people who may end up dying due to gaming and caffiene overdose I hear so much about coming from Korea and other gaming capitals of the world...

I like winning, dislike losing, but the fact of the matter is that if you're going to base your sole enjoyment into beating people in pvp, that doesn't give you much in terms of bragging rights...

Some see you as, 'whoa, most skilled you are!', while OTHERS can think, 'whoa, you've got too much time on your hands.'

After seeing where the majority of people I've seen with are going, I've begun thinking the latter...

hmm...

Now, I seem to be more impressed by people who can tank 15 flesh golems...

You're not.

My guild fought a random battle against one guy. He had a bunch of henchies, but I didn't stop to count while we were kicking his butt. :P

Wait...

You complain about the rules, then you tell us it's just a game?

What do you care then? If this was truely a "7 year old kid" as you say, then the father HAD to have given him access to the account. How many 7-year olds are accomplished hackers that could get into peoples accounts?

If you are going to bitch about your guild rank for the reason you said, then you need to punish the person who did it to your guild, NOT EVERY OTHER PLAYER WHO WANTS TO PLAY THE GAME.

This suggestion was poor at best, and your response to OUR responses was childish. Punishing the guy who would like to take on a whole guild all by himself because someone in YOUR guild screwed up is NOT the way to solve YOUR PROBLEM.
