    Default guilds and their ranks / titles ...why are they so simplified , it could be better

    This thread is touching base on our current guild ranks and there individual privileges when obtained.

    I recommend there be a better suit of ranks and titles for a player to earn.

    Make

    member .......

    next rank

    senior member

    next rank

    recruiter

    next rank

    seasoned recruiter

    officer

    senior officer

    chief officer

    vice officer

    guild master

    please post your comments on the structure mentioned above.

    I believe this would improve how a guild operates on a loyalty basis, If I am wrong feel free to spout your thoughts.

    Personally I dislike the idea of adding ranks for status. This just leads to jealously, drama, power tripping etc. As I said in another topic on this, who wants to join a guild only to find out 90% of the members are labeled "better" than them. Nobody likes feeling excluded, and the more ranks you add, the more people will feel left out. The current rank system is necessary for basic guild management, but to add more is just a drama magnet, which serves no purpose. Not to mention promotion begging - every GM's nightmare.

    well , TBH the ranks mentioned above are way too much , i suggest adding 1 rank only which is above officer , " co-master" , " senior officer " call it whatever you may , and this rank's privileges are same as officers , but is able to kick officers and change the guild hall , but cannot disband the guild .

    Way too many ranks. This isn't the army.

    I wouldn't mind only ONE rank added which comes directly after the GM, like a Head Officer or something. One who can demote and promote whenever the GM is not present. This can prevent those prior mass booting issues we always see.

    That would be a co-gm who can do everythig except disband. I'd go for that. Not the rest though.
