Thought y’all might be interested to know that this issue was also brought up in a recent video from SoulsoBreezy. It’s the last chapter at 14:26 and even provides the same screenshots we all shared of the permissions issues over the years. It’s not just us!
Thanks so much for posting this. That was an interesting video. It’s nice to see there are other folks who care about this even if we don’t have a lot of them commenting here. I mean, who can blame them? It’s not fun to spin your wheels for more than five years.
I would have commented yesterday, but Blizzard decided I needed to be quiet for a while. (I’m a tad miffed about it, but it’s over now.)
Been doing the hearthstone thing. Kinda confused about how it all works, but I had fun.
It makes me hope the prepatch with the guild updates will turn out good, too. I know they’re not remotely related (the anniversary thing and guild updates) but I would feel less hopeful if the special event was a complete wash.
Anyone heard anything about what the guild updates will include? I’m so bad at keeping up with things, if Blizz doesn’t send me an email, I don’t have any idea what they’ve done with the game until I log in.
I’m trying to be patient and optimistic, but it’s hard.
Still waiting to hear anything about permissions changes. On one hand, at least we know there are some kind of planned guild updates. On the other, it’s hard to be hopeful when we have no idea what those updates are going to encompass. Patience is a virtue I could use more of.
I can pretend that the guild changes will include the return of granular guild controls as part of the 10.2.6 Content due March 19.
I can cant I?
Up until the 19th. 
I have noticed that as well. I’m assuming they don’t play WOW regularly lol
Oh, goodness. I’ve been busy and haven’t posted here for a bit. My bad.
No changes yet (that I’ve seen). Not surprised. I’m sure there won’t be anything in game before the next expansion pre-patch. What I’d like is some kind of run down on what the guide updates are supposed to be. That way I’ll know whether to be excited or not.
Probably they’ll get around to it around the same time they fix the busted “who” command and that one sheep in Elwynn that keeps spawning inside a tree…
While I really want the permissions broken up again (how hard can it be to make check boxes?) I’m curious what other updates Blizz has in mind. Could it be guild halls? New guild perks? What about achieves? And what are the odds these updates will be really cool, fun stuff rather than some nonsense that breaks guilds even further?
Some days I fear I may be that sheep…
O my…
Now I kinda want to distribute blankets and cookies.
Here’s some cookies:
And some blankets (including beds!):
Now, if only there were an emoji for granulated permissions…
Wait, you can do emojis with this thing?
I would do a lot more of them if it would get the permissions fixed. But I’m really hoping permissions will be included with the scheduled guild updates. Then we can have a party here, and finally let this thread go to its well-deserved slumber.
Oh wow, I just imagined how FAST I would run to this thread if we actually got a good resolution… I haven’t even considered the possibility in a few years now, I’m not sure I appreciate this unexpected bit of hopeful thinking!
It’s a weird feeling, isn’t it?
Well, they updated another holiday. Of course not everyone is happy about how they did it, but it would be a shock if everyone had been. It does make me feel the guild updates are a real thing, and of course not everyone will be happy about them. But if granular permissions are a part of the updates, that will be enough to make me happy.
