The PROPER way of the Guild Leader

In Guild Wars, leadership means power, but not much. Even a guild leader needs help managing his own guild.

First of all, the guild leader must find trustworthy people to help him out on the various issues, like PvP officer, recruitment officer, and so on.
Teh officers are the leaders assistants, they ãdvise you on what actions to take. A good leader is always a good listener.

A leader should also learn to hear the members opinions about the guild and try to fulfill them if possible.

A leader is the one that carries the responsibility of the guild. He manages all that needs to be done inside the guild. Of course, a leader needs the cooperation of the guildmates and officers alike to fulfill certain requirements such as buying a Guild Hall for meetings and the cape which symbolizes the guild.

The extras that a leader can implement in a guild that is stable are:
-Free trading inside the guild
-Tournaments
-Role-Play and Knighthood
-Weddings (yes weddings in GW have been made already)
-Farming Officers (officers pick a team of members to set as the official guild farmers)
-Running Services (same thing as farming officers but with runners)
-Forum Prizes (similar to the FK guild that uses rings related to an accomplishment and give them to the members to put on the signature space of the forums.)
-Ranks in the guild (not just officer. a member can be awarded a special rank without having to be officer.)
-The Guild's unique Lore (also taken from the FK guild which has a wonderful story)

Although all of these are already in GW, many guilds only have 1 or 2 features i mentioned above, but with a good leader and a strong guild foundation, these features together in a guild can reach the ultimate guild wars experience.

Yes, this is the proper way.  cswella on 04/08/06 18:37

Heh heh, Love it Aidan.

It's the guide for the good people.

  Krypper on 04/08/06 22:38

Yes...but you should mention the appointed "babysitter" of the guild too. Thats all I was in mine. -.-

"Dont make fun of the low-ranked people."
"Dont talk about your adventures with illegal drugs."
"Dont tell us about who you ------."
"Dont tell us your arson plans."

The list goes on. Needless to say, I left.

Sorry...that turned into a rant. Good job, though the "weddings" thing is a little odd, if not unheard of.

Well i suppose if a priest or someone who has the right to perform marriage ceremonies plays GW and is the guild leader..then i suppose they could marry people through GW...



  Aidan_Adelbern on 04/09/06 07:29

actually, guild leader play the role of priests.

i remember seeing a forum post ihn GWguru about this.

it was during the BWE events in april 2005.
besides only the characters would be married, not the actual gamers. :D

  slye_boy on 04/09/06 14:47

Oh.. i thought you meant the actual people.. i'd say it's a bit odd but to each his own i guess :P

A couple people on the GW team did get married during the World Preview Event: http://www.guildwars.com/events/ingame/weddingintyria.php

I always read this to mean they had their real world wedding conducted in game, but I guess I could be wrong.

It was ingame and...wow...umm..wow...

  binarydumb on 04/10/06 18:29

Nice, I like the ideas of rankings...hmm have to see how I can implement that one.

Only item for me to add, it's not a perfect world and disputes will happen. I would suggest a clear-cut grievance/complaint/dispute resolution process. That way the members are aware of how to go about things instead of trying to rally people onto their side (especially in guild chat)-which tends to divide the guild.

  Punisher Zero on 04/12/06 19:53

this is SORT of about that marriage thing.. wel its not but..

the guild Ascalons most wanted[AMW] which u can see almost 24/7 in the ascalon arenas.. always in district one american or international 1.. they are a dating guild.. yes a dating guild.. they go to AA to have online GW "dates" lol i have a friend who used to be a leader in that guild but when it got to become a guild for online dating he got his a** out of there lol

pfwah.

Being a guild leader is the fastest way to get rich. Make members pay 1k for the right to vote on issues, and tata! You have just exploited your source of income, and earned 1k.

Guess that isn't how its supposed to be, right?

For those who can  Lord_Lothos on 04/23/06 09:22
 
I am going to add a few of these things to my guild but there is one thing athat is neat to offer future members, Team Speak, I am offering it to new memebers of my guild it helps make quests and missions easier to plan and if a memeber can't make it in to the game then they can atleast jump on and vote with the group on things to do. or to even just see whats going on with the guild.
