#1: Reduce the price of the guild store slots. At this point it's too expensive for any guild that doesn't have 40 level 1000+ players. This is reducing the guilds that allow smaller players in. Small players don't make money. They are an investment. The guild is hoping that the new level 5 player is a top player at heart trying to stay #1 in their month. I'd recommend 20FSP per slot. Yes there are many players working towards this BUT there are also many players with full backpacks and nowhere to put their items. I don't remember how many guild storage spaces a guild gets but it should be higher. Start them out with 8+ at least one per starting player. 

 

anything to help smaller guilds is a PLUS :)

 

#2 Most of the top guilds will hate this but: Make inactive players useless to the guild. Once a player hits 30 or 60 days inactive drop the players contributed XP to 0 until they log back in. Pretty sure doing this would drop a few guilds off the top 250. At that point guilds would want more active players. #1 gives them space for the 234523452345 items that are introduced to the game every day and #2 gives a new player somewhere to have fun.

 

Can I ask, have you ever founded a Guild?

 

The reason for the question is simple. Many members in a Guild may become inactive, yes, but not through personal choice. These may be members that have helped the Guild to become what it is, these may be members who are now close friends thanks to HCS great social features, these may be members that have donated substantially toward the Guild.

 

Many players keep going on about inactives being retained by a Guild so as to take advantage of their BP space, and I'll not deny that this is true, but there are also so many other reasons for them being there. A few I have mentioned above. Do you think it would be fair that these members lose their contributed Guild XP because they have become inactive due to personal circumstance?

 

Cheers.

really like that post

I once thought the "same" as you Coshen about inactive players (30+ days) UNTIL 2 of my friends I had the pleasure & honor of knowing (meeting) suddenly went inactive, later I heard these 2 unfortunately were "no longer with us" anymore :(

 

these players did NOT choose to stop playing, there were "forced" to !!!

there are guilds who keep their "departed" players, NOT only because of their achievements or contributions BUT to honor (memory) them !!!

Guild store price is fine...Some guilds have 100+ members to contribute...even having 5 members.
