As there is bug appeared, currently on guild members information tab, i hope it can get fixed so we can manage the guild easier and if possible to get improvement and reliable Guild system. Here is some of the improvement that can be made.
1.
As of now, Guild ranking list (which you can see through the Guild Rank Stone at Leafre), is unreliable to show the actual Guild Rank. It is fake guild rank. A broken Guild rank system. Even a dead guild can appear way above an active guild. The reason is because Contributions point, eventhough the members hasn't been online or have not been playing for over 1 year or even forever, it will still get counted into guild rank list. Even if the guild is dead and only 1 member ever online over 1 month, they might still appear as high ranking eventhough another guild that has 20 active members online almost everyday.
My suggestion, if a certain members of the guild hasn't been online for certain times example for 1 month, their contribution points will not get counted into the Guild Total Contributions on the ranking. Guild ranking list will only count member's contribution points who have been online past 1 month. you can make it even 1 or 2 weeks too if you think 1 month is way too long. In this way, Guild rank list will be reliable and show top guild and active. There are no more dead guild appear on high ranking guild as it is now. and it will be a reliable source for players to sort out active guild. No more useless Guild Rank. As of now, even dead guild can appear on high ranking list. How unreliable and bad system. It has been happening for a very long time. The Guild ranking system need to change especially to avoid dead guild appear on ranking list for a long time
2.
Give additional information if we double click the guild members name on the list. You can add details such as, how long have they joined the guild, how many times have they killed certain bosses, Highest damage range they ever have, average damage range they ever have, all of their other chars name/IGN, average playtime perday, indication if they are playing on offline mode or not (Guild members supposedly able to see members is online or not eventhough they use offline mode so we can contact them), Private offline messaging feature, Total Arcane force or anything. You can add any details you think fit and can support guild members to know each other better and can contact each other better.
3.
Guild Search mode. Supposedly new players can use the guild search mode so they can find guilds that suits them and can help them enjoy the game. But currently, it is so hard to rely on Guild search to find the guild we really want. You can add new function such as guild can put some introduction to their guild for people who use the guild search mode, Guild search will show how many members online for past 2 weeks or 1 month, or any additonal information to help players can find their suitable guild better.
4. Better Guild board feature improvement. Add emoticon into guild board so we can express ourself into guild board.
5. Guild Emblem. We need more creative guild emblem. Sell more additional Guild emblem at cash shop. I will buy eventhough i have to pay NX. The Current Guild emblem is way too old fashion.
6. Guild Effect. using Guild Points, Guild can buy certain Guild Effect that will affect all members.
7. More use of Guild Points. Not like currently it has almost no use
8. More use of contribution points as now it is only to revive members.
9. More exclusive emblems will appear when total contributions points of guild reach certain numbers. you can set a high numbers to encourage members to get more contributions points. Of course it will count only members who have been online past certain times. Example every past 50 millions, 100millions , 200 millions, each point will give more exclusive Guild emblems
Comments
1. Support this idea.
The guild window already hides the levels/class of people who haven't logged in since the last maint anyway, their points shouldn't be considered.
2. Do not support this idea.
This is extremely stalker territory.
How long since they've joined the guild sure, everything else, no. Especially the offline thing. Sometimes I don't want to be bothered, that's why offline mode is there.
3. Support this idea.
Being unable to see anything like a posted notice or short message about the guild really doesn't help you decide if the guild is for you or not.
4. Support this idea.
I'd like to see an overhaul to the whole guild system, but realistically, that won't happen.
5. Support this idea.

9. Somewhat Support this idea.
I'd like to see a better "rank" system where you can assign people to customized groups.
For example you could have a "CRA carries" group, or a "Hard Lucid/Will" group.
I think an overhaul of the guild skills is needed.
Something to encourage party play such as sharing runes with guild members in your party, bonus exp, Bounty Portals designed for multiple guild members, etc.
A lot of the skills aren't even usable on reboot. I think an overhaul on guild play is long overdue.
