I was going to bring this up sooner or later as well. A couple of us have tried to get more attention paid towards guilds and their activities for a while now and they need fixing at a global level. I don't care for trivial things such as in-game guild management systems, but threads such as
this,
this,
this, and
this have had no real attention or effort been placed into them from the appropriate staff.
Maybe now that we've got a new guild administrator he'll actually pick up some of these issues and do some research about guilds. It would be nice if Tig opened a dialog for each individual issue surrounding guilds, allowing the community to discuss proposed solutions, bounce ideas off each other, or provide their general opinion on the situation. I know Tig isn't really heavy in guild activity (never seen him in one) so I think it would help a lot. Let's hope things change soon too, because I really miss guilds having an importance.
