Guild Progression Bonuses!

[morggue]

So i was wondering how people will use this! I for one am goin to create a guild and level it to Guild Level 15 then leave it idle or remove everyone from it! Then using HB (or even GB) every mob that generates money automatically gives me extra 10%!!!! Gold Farmers DREAM!!!!! Im stoked about this feature and i wondered how many people will want to actually attempt to get a guild to this level!!!!

And my next question! Would anyone want this feature enough to offer money for guilds that have been raised to this level to gain this bonus?

DISCUSS!!!!

To be honest, that 10% really isn't worth the time to get to level 15.

 

[morggue]

what if you could buy a guild that was already at that level! would u do it then?

i already have a real full on guild that i am going to use to get to this level and then remove all my friends and reinvite to a new guild and just use the first one to gain this bonus! think about botting 1-85 on average i have found i looted appprox 3k gold so even tho its not much after u do it long enough thats a lot of extra dough!

You make it sound like its easy

If you were to buy a lvl 15 guild for actual gold, it would cost HUNDREDS of thousands of gold - mind you that you would have to farm guild rep as well!

Why the hell would you remove everyone from it oO? More ppl in = more money? i actually got 750 ACTIVE people in it already planning to get to 1000 when cata hits ^^
Anyone know what is guild limit?

There currently is no "guild limit". The guild UI will only show 500 members that are in your guild. In cataclysm the max amount of players you can have in one guild will be limited to 600. All guilds that have over 600 members specifically some of the huge guilds will not be able to invite anymore members until their guild is under the 600 limit.

I've also been thinking about how to take profit from guild benefits, but I'm not sure how to do it. To get experience you need to do quests, kill bosses with people of your guild (75% or more) and win battlegrounds (also 75% of the team must be from the guild). So there are 4 options:

1. Get into a big guild and just benefit from what others do (they also benefit from you, as you will generate money for the guild when Cash Flow is reached). This is dangerous in the sense that it's more probable that someone sees that you are botting than if you were in your own guild bank.

2. Buy a guild and kick everybody that's there. I really doubt that guilds would do that even for a really big amount of gold, especially those guild that are more progressed, that generally already have lots of gold. Maybe later in the expansion this idea could have some sense.

3. Try to level your own guild. You should have to do lots of quests, which is viable when levelling, but after that, unless you do dailies... And I haven't seen any profile for dailies. Another options is having characters from different accounts, so you generate more guild experience doing quests (as you do them at more characters) and also can join battlegrounds and do dungeons with 75% or more of the people being of your guild. I doubt Instance Buddy is capable to run alone dungeons botting the 5 characters of the party. Maybe in very easy dungeons, but I don't know if those give guild experience. And joining a battleground with so many bots is just a joke, obviously (and it would be impossible to win any).

4. Create a guild of botters. This would be similar to the previous option, but having more than 1 person there, so there could be lots of bots and generate experience faster. It's dangerous in the sense that you have to trust in other guild members, because they know you are botting. Also, if other people starts seeing that people from this guild is botting, it may cause Blizzard to investigate the whole guild.

So I think the best options are either 1 (particularly if it's in really big guilds, where you can go unnoticed easier) or just forgetting about guild rewards.

I plan to buy an army of the 2 BOA items from my raiding guild before I leave.
I might actually stay in and stick my alts there, 20% 1-80 BOA. 20% new boa, 10% guild bonus = 50% XP increase <3

-edit after research
Legs = 10%
Helm = 10%
Chest = 10%
Shoulders = 10%
Cape = 5%
Ring1 = 5%
ring2 = 5%

55% BOA Bonus + 10% guild = 65% XP bonus if you have all the new cata BOA. All these work 1-85.

The limit was 1000 wasn't it?

I got a guild with cirka 700 members active, and another one on a diff realm with cirka 500 members...
Can't wait till we reach lvl 5/16

Ugh,
I massinvited others with rapedotty, you get Guild XP when INDIVIDUALS complete quests and lvl a profession.
So my 2 guilds kinda reach the cap on cirka 6200 K instantly.
It's not hard to lvl a guild, you just gotta wait for the cap to reset

I think that's really dangerous, there's no way you go unnoticed in a guild where you are the master, or a high rank.

Finally I've just got into a big guild, so I can level and move a bit faster.

You can get 65% but that's also when you figure out how to get the legs and rings. I don't think they posted how they will be gotten yet. But the guild level imho your better off just sticking to it on your main account the guild perks far surpass the botting perks. But if your selling account 65% to 80 and 45% to 85 makes grinding/ib(guessing ib will be afk by then) alot faster and you can sell a account for $150 or so. So you would prob make more selling accounts then you would using it as a farming perk.
