Allowing the user's guild membership to be approved while offline would also solve issues such as no one else currently being online / eligible to invite and allow 1-2 player guilds to invite their alts. This way, there is no spamming of offline players or mail systems, instead, the agency is solely placed on the player that wants to join. Those requests could subsequently be approved whether that character is online or not. Alternatively or alongside this as a way of allowing for offline application, If ever a guild search system was added to the game, it could also be added to that. This could be done from the same hyperlink that guilds use to recruit players in the chat - there could be an extra button once you've clicked the hyperlink and it shows you the guild description, which upon clicking adds a pending request that guild officers (for e.g.) could see. I'd actually argue in a different direction and say that we should be able to request invites to guild through an in game system. I mean I never would think players would spam the mail just for guild invites. There really would be no other way to send the guild invites as the player would send in only 1 request through the mail and the guildmaster would either accept it or not. This should be the only way it's done offline anyways.
I mean 1 request per alt character and the request could not be made again through the listing. Please explain in laymen what about mail invites could be abused?įor me a system with guild listings and the ability to request a guild invite to the "guildmaster" through game mail (offline) should in no way be able to be abused. The other thing you mentioned is this would be abused.
I mean it's not a lot of work but having to use another pc to go through all these hoops seems a bit extreme.Īnd no I don't mean just the other pc, I mean all those steps. Is this what they do in other mmo's that have guilds as well? They will never make a mail Guild invite system as it can be abused and spammed to death. Use a little imagination and intelligence and even YOU can invite your own character into your Guild.
OBTW if, like me you have a Republic and an Empire guild then you can also do the same thing with another character on the same FREE SWToR account. Now once you have your FREE SWToR account and character you can invite a new characters into your guild at any time. Rinse and Repeat for any other characters you want to invite to the guild. Use the Character on the FREE SWToR account to invite your NEW character into your guild.ĩ. Both your FREE SWToR account character and your new unguilded character are now in your Stronghold.Ĩ. Log in the Character you want to add to your Guild and invite them to your Stronghold.ħ. Invite the character you just created on your FREE SWToR account and promote them so they can invite to the guild and log out leaving the character on the FREE SWToR account logged in and move them to your stronghold.Ħ. (preferably the Guild Leader or Guild officer that can invite)ĥ. Log into the character on the FREE SWToR account (though you must do this from a second computer)Ĥ. Create a character on the FREE SWToR account.ģ. I am now the only one that logs into my guild.īut if I want to add an alt to my guild it is a simple and easy task, as a matter of fact, I just added another character to my guild.Ģ. At one time there were 20 to 40 players logging in on any day. The lack of imagination and creativity is astounding.
