I’ve played quite a fair number of mmos lately, and I love seeing WoW hoover up features from them for their own use. This one I saw in Guild Wars 2, and would kill to see it adopted in WoW.
Basically, guild membership and invites are an account wide thing rather than per character. To prevent it from being an account wide commitment, you can join multiple other guilds at the same time, and you can only pick 1 guild from the account-wide guilds list to “represent” per character (swappable at any time).
Representing a guild makes that guild’s tag display on that character, their chat is highlighted more clearly in your chat window, you will use the guild perks of your represented guild, Your guild hall (and bank) will be that of your represented guild, and guild achievements/challenges will be based on the guild you are representing.
WoW wants more ways to take advantage of the Warbands system? A guilds overhaul with these changes at the forefront would be a great way to go for this

guilds can get unwieldy with 50 alts. I have most of mine in my own alt guild, but id like to have my main in a real guide as well as my alt guild. plus id like to put my main druid back in the all druid guild he was in before. but again, it gets hard to balance multiple guilds. im in favor of this idea

yes! flavor guilds wouldn’t be a hassle anymore since you’d still be a part of your main guild at the same time

I’m really hoping to see a system like this implemented. They already have the basic functionality in Diablo 4 and it wouldn’t be the first time they have bottled from that title when you consider where they probably got warbanks from. I’m even more curious how the system will work with the implementation of player housing. You get one house per faction to share among all your alts. My house will definitely be going into my guild but only about 4 of my 50ish characters are in that guild. Our roster stays full so I try to only keep the main ones I play in it. So based on what we know about housing and neighborhoods, the 90% of my alts not in the guild will still get access to the guild neighborhood. We also know they plan to go back and start making progress again on account unification with things like reputation so honestly, I think we will probably see an option to have an account count as a single membership in a guild.

This went Abbot and Costello third base for me? I think I need to understand what the op is wanting. He wants one account wide guild and yet still be in multiple guilds?
Third base.
I knew from the title alone I’d see GW2 mentioned (it’s basically a cozy second home)
But yes, the sheer amount of account-wide stuff on GW2 is nice (really the only true character grinds are map clears and farming fractal infusions). The only issue I could see is with expressly not cross-faction guilds but how many of those are there really even these nowadays? Yet again the faction system creates more problems than it solves, truly amazing that.
The problem is alts taking up hundreds of limited guild slots with no sensible in-game way of sorting, searching, tagging, or really any ease of use towards them. They added the extra part on being in multiple guilds as their solution bypasses all of the above by having it be account related.
I disagree with their solution, but I agree that the same problem persists.
I’d much rather see functionality brought to guilds and revamp them entirely as opposed to the seriously antiquated system we have now.
No. OP is suggesting that guilds always be accountwide and accept the account instead of the character. That’s why they are then suggesting allowing multiple guilds per account.
I just want guild permissions fixed. But they keep ignoring us about that. And even ignored my highly upvoted question about it for the Q&A.
This company doesn’t care about guilds or how the system works.
Hoover up?
I haven’t heard that said in years mate!
