    Where is it? After all these years I still can't find one.

    There is the same weak-interface of 9 years ago & weak bonuses coming from the Guild (based on the number of players in it) and that's about it.

    How comes there ain't Tournaments, Guild v Guild Events, or Guild "Activities" ?!
    By Activities I mean something all Guild can work on and get some goodies in return, similar to Events but a permanent thing (or say Every Week)

    I mean there still ain't a Telegram/Message/Mail-box system.. Let alone the things above.


    As said before.. Social side of this game is unbelievably weak..

    Ps. Not seeing Guild chat in Group chat, or vice versa is annoying..


    Edit:
    Guild coins! To be gained by, daily/weekly or event monthly, "Guild Activities"
    They are stored in a symbolic chest within Guild HQ Map, which you can teleport/enter from any (or few specific) towns!

    Guild Trader NPC (within Guild HQ Map) ! Buy things with Guild coins! Buffs, Costumes, Craft Cores, Pets, you name it.
    Or.. Exchange them to some other currency/coin that are already in the game.

    Now I know we already have too many currencies in the game but ehh..

    Ps. This so called "Activities" won't be in favor of "OP" Players.
    Instead, newbies will contribute equally/more, and get more use of 'em.

    And as for bonuses unlike in other games these suffice, we already attain incredible stats without having to inflate our stats in dso any further.
    well not guild vs guild so to speak, pvp wise atleast
    but I did mention before I would like to see long term "seasons" that gives us goodies iow semi like lb but over periods of 3 months for guilds ofc.
    Totally agree offline messages is a must

    I didn't/don't ask for Stat bonuses but the bonuses we get are ignorable, pointless.

    Whole Guild "system" is almost pointless still after a decade.

    a good idea to improve the guilds would be to have bonuses that you could go up, more life, damage, resistances, xp, extra wisdom,% more andermant (they are only ideas, the bonuses could be others) ...

    when you were killing monsters you would get clan points (just like you get wisdom points in a group for example) and then with those points go up the clan skills, which would benefit everyone in the guild, it would make people care more about helping to the clan because it would benefit them too and those clans would disappear with half the ghost members just to get the ridiculous bonuses they give now, or people who connect 10 minutes a day or 2 days a week.

    Right after I said stat inflations is too much...
    Also this causes people to want elitism in their guilds forcing high end game characters to be part of guild a or b.
    which is something undesirable as elitism is toxic.

    Elitism already exists, there are many guilds that ask for level 55, or x damage, or x hours of play per day or per week, so I don't see that it was an added problem since it already exists.

    I believe that a measure that would benefit us more than harm us.

    No, I believe that only things that could be unlocked by a guild should be cosmetic things, like guild hall, decorations thereof, etc.

    On the other hand, there are lots of other things that could be improved in the guild system of course.

    If they only give me cosmetics after hitting me for hours and hours to get the points to unlock things for the guild, I delete my 4 characters, uninstall the game and go to the playstation fifa, if they already rob us that would be what would be missing.

    A bonus of% damage,% life,% rate of appearance of better objects, improvement of skills that you already have, I do not know, there are 1000 things that can be put to improve, everything would be to look at which ones to ask that are reasonable for the company, but cosmetics, that and nothing is the same in this game.

    Guild activities would be great. I suppose it could be the form of something like a Guild Quest where all members of the guild can contribute in some fashion, for something could be shared. Guild perks, perhaps? An overhaul to the current "Guild Activity" bonus that we have?

    no, just no
    % hp and % damage? %crit? what for?
    This would cause the exact guild elitism I would wish to avoid.
    This would entail guild level, it would destroy loyalty
    atleast untill most guilds has reached level cap
    and people who choose to not be in a guild to avoid politics will be left in the dark with regards to those bonuses
    well we dont know whats coming with level 60, lets wait and see

    I refer to what I said before:

    There is already elitism, now they ask you for a minimum level of 55, X minimum damage, that you connect every day, that you dedicate X hours to help low-level characters, that you do minimum inf4, etc etc etc .....

    For the clan to grant bonuses would be a help that would benefit us all and I do not see it as a disadvantage nor do I see that there is more elitism than now

    Guild coins???? Sound like instant Twink creation to me.

    Upper guild members put in lots of coins. Newbies spend them to become Twinks.

    Lol no. Not like that.
    I mean I didn't mean a "pool" of coins.

    Just a symbolic chest, special location to give some feeling :D


    That's said idk how you become "twinks" just by some currency.
    Afterall it won't buy PW Uniques..

    That's good. A pool of coins would create Twinks.

    Seems to me that if we just had a merchant that sold Andermant/Realm Frags/Clovers/Community coins/Cores(x6)/etc for reasonable amounts of Gold, all would be solved.

    Obviously one would have to limit the amount of purchases per day, but that would just mean shopping at that merchant would be part of my daily login.

    Along the lines of the Draken Cores for Crystals of Truth.
    20 Draken/Materia/Talurian Cores for 1000 gold.
    20 Augment/Pristine/Soul Cores for 499 gold.
    Say, 5 purchases each per day. (Which would only provide 700 Materia Cores per week.)

    Or the merchant could show up once a week for a day and we could buy 30 of each? Or once a month and we could buy 100 of each?

    Every day with "limited times/amount" purchases should do the trick.

    But that's not preventing it from having "Limited Time Offers" every week or weeks, month(s) , or even year :)

    The alternative is I delete them for breaking the forum rules. ;)

    Nah I will delete my own posts (to repost) from now on to not be pissed off by finding out that my posts were merged days ago because of the stupid so-called rule that still applies to the totally irrelevant posts that have a week in-between.

    I would much rather see an alliance system in game where you can have a main guild with sub guilds in it for example a main guild and one that is almost or just as strong and then totaling 5 as an alliance 1 being for mid level players 1 for new 55s and one just a bit ahead
    or however the main guild chooses it to be
    this with an alliance tab in the chat system where the max of 5 guilds can plan play and pve runs and pvp ofc
