Guild ranks....more diversity needed.

[flamberg]

The guild I am presently leader of has no one out ranking anyone The only reason there is a leader is because that is the way the guild system is presently set up. Guild bank would be nice as I have to use my second account as guild bank. We have very simple rules keep the guild chat to where a kid could read it and not be offended thats about it. Oh yeah lets have fun.

And it would be nice to have them fully customizable with the Guild Leader able to set Names and permissions for each rank, with the possibility of 10 or so ranks. Different guilds have different ideas of hierarchy so an open system would cater to everyone's tastes. Perhaps the permissions page would look something like:

NAME: Guild Leader
RANK: 1
Permissions: ALL
Special: customize permissions
Name Successor: Yes
Months until succession: 6

NAME: Officer
RANK: 2
Permissions:
Set guild MoTD yes
Use Officer Chat: yes
Invite new Members: yes
Boot memebrs rank 3 or lower: yes
Promote memebrs to rank 3 or lower: yes

NAME: Junior Officer
RANK: 3
Permissions:
Set guild MoTD no
Use Officer Chat: no
Invite new Members: yes
Boot memebrs rank 3 or lower: no
Promote memebrs to rank 4 or lower: no

NAME: Member
RANK: 10
Permissions:
Set guild MoTD no
Use Officer Chat: no
Invite new Members: no

It would also be nice to see some in game guild tools, like a Guild Bank. This would create the need for a permissions such as deposit/withdrawal items, cash, view items etc.

Instead of calling them Junior Officer why not call them Senior Member? I mean the only thing they can do is invite, but I'd go for that.

Can you say.....WoW Guild Ranking System AND Guild Bank system?

Each guild has the ability to set as many ranks up to a certain number and assign titles and permissions to each one. These permissions also translate into which bank pages members can access and if they can deposit/withdraw to not only that but to the monetary funds. You then charge a guild X amount of plat per extra storage page up to say 5 pages.

Add into all that in the guild listing, the ability to make short notes for toons like "Alt of so and so" etc.

Devs just go play WoW for a few days and setup a guild and see how they do it and give us that. It's pretty much what everyone here is asking for anyway.

Because the word "member" is naughty and the less it's used the better.

'Nuff said really...It's time the dev's thought about adding more 'ranks' to the guild list....It's time that the officer system got an overhaul...There really isn't a big enough diversity in the current ranking system, and it needs to change. I realise that this has probably been done to death, but Dev's, don't you think it's time too?

I think 4 or 5 ranks would be ideal. I like this setup and any similar setup towards the idea. One idea at a time, thats the ddo way.

In my guild we only allow "Elite Members" who are used as often as possible.

Btw being elite is not bad, and being elitest is not negative, unless one prefers inferiority and the lowest common denominator.

I Like the idea OP it would be useful. In my guild the more toons with officer status, genera; denotes rank in the guild.
