I have been thinking of other ways to improve the system outside of just reverting it which it so very much needs.
After playing around with Guild Roster Manager a bit there are MANY things that would be awesome to have that GRM has.
Join date of each guild member:
This would help guild leaders to see who has been there the longest and gives them a pooled option on promotions with in the guild via ranks and permissions.
Alt list:
This would allow us to not have to worry about keeping track of adding notes of people's toons. Instead of taking time to add note's like "Goober's alt" it will mass populate the list when you click on the person's toon name showing you all their toons in guild.
Name changes:
If someone decides they want to change their toons name or they get reported and have to change their name it will automatically update this information.
Ban list:
You can actively ban people who are extremely toxic from ever being invited back to the guild. Even more so to expand on that, it would be awesome if there was an option to when you ban someone they wouldn't be able to join on any toons again. This would help tremendously as it would protect guilds from toxic people being removed from being able to join again to cause havoc.
These are just a few ideas taken from GRM that I feel like would bring added benefit to the guild UI. Will comment again when an idea hits me.

Mass Invite for events. That has been crazy trying to do as it is based on inviting anyone from one set rank up. More tailored fit where you can select the ranks for invite would be amazing.
For example, you are hosting a pvp event. You know that pve only players wouldn't want to join. So you check the pvp rank you have in guild and it only invites them. Not them and everyone above that rank.
Another example would be holding a tmog event. Some people just don't care about that sort of thing and so you could only invite those who are part of a tmog/achieves rank.
Upping the cap for mass invite from 100 would work wonders too.
I like all of these ideas so much I can't pick a favorite. While I feel like I'd be happy just getting the all-in-one permissions removed, ideas like these do make me want a little more from Blizz. We were asked for additional functionality that we'd like to see. I believe Keiralynn has knocked this one out of the park.
Fumel found a great post here in my opinion!
As a Gm since the early days, I find many of these ideas amazing and I have to wonder why they were not implemented by Blizz at some point over the last decade or so, and why in the blankity blank they (Blizz) though it'd be a great idea to not expand the guild ui / permissions, but instead cripple them severely.
I personally really like the idea of a "join date" and "alt list" being added to the guild ui.
For me anyway, writing notes on who joined when, and who's alt is who's has been extremely time consuming, tedious, and even frustrating at the times over the years. (Guildies are not always great at listing what toons belong to them and confusion and even anger can and does happen when cleaning house (ie" booting inactive toons)
We personally don't do a lot of booting for inactivity. We're usually of of the mind-frame "Once a BloodOath always a BloodOath" However, a toon that joined, played for 5 minutes and then doesn't come back in months may be removed.
As most guild have I'm sure, we've had our share of the toxic folks over the years. An option in the guild permissions to perma-ban certain individuals as well as their entire account to prevent them from coming back on alts time and time again to cause even more issues would be amazing from a leadership point of view.
Mass invites. also an awesome idea.
We have guild meetings. They are open to all guildies, but not in any way mandatory. (Not everyone is interested in participating in meetings, being social, various guild events, etc...)
A better system to invite those who actually want to attend functions like that or similar would save guild leaders (at least this one) a lot of trouble and the folks not interested in an invite they do not want
Features like those above mentioned would be invaluable.
Indeed. As Fumel said
"Keiralynn has knocked this one out of the park"
Blizzard: THAS is the sort of person
with actual good ideas for Warcraft you should be hiring and listening to
Intently.
