<DIV>Yes, I have posted similar on other threads, but this is something I feel very strongly about and am willing to repeat myself often in order to get this <STRONG>seen</STRONG>.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Get rid of the patron flag, BUT :</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Make the guild status of members 1-10 worth 100% of what is shown.</DIV> <DIV>Make the guild status of members 11-20 worth 30% of what is shown.</DIV> <DIV>Make the guild status of members 21-30 worth 15% of what is shown.</DIV> <DIV>Make the guild status of members 31 and up worth 5% of what is shown.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I don't care about the exact percents, or the exact breakdowns of tiers.  I do care about a system which would allow every member to contribute, and <EM>see</EM> that contribution.  I don't want patrons 11-20 to gain status at 40% the rate, or even have ststus displayed at 40% what they would have gained, but the real, full amount.  Anyone in side the guild can compete.  An alt with a heritage done only can contribute, someone with very little play time can contribute - and NOT feel like their presence weighs the guild down!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have talked this over with many people, and truly believe this is the best bet.  It won't be hard to code, at all.  It will give larger guilds only very small advantages (if the percents are done right), and will allow every single guild member to feel a part of working toward a goal, other than just handing reverse writ items to their favorite patron.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lastly, there are many smart people out there, and some could do a huge job of improving this.  Feel free, please.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Gipp Hedgehogg</DIV> <DIV>The Chosen Clan, A Small Casual Guild of Server Crushbone.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

I Like it !!!!!:smileywink: <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>To add to it you could have some kind of symbol next to the character's name in the guild window to let you know how much of an impact they have made... like a rank or someting...just a thought</DIV><p>Message Edited by ctrcivic on <span class=date_text>07-28-2005</span> <span class=time_text>01:08 PM</span>

<DIV>Thanks! <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I should add that the contributed amounts would be calculated by the same formula as before (divisor by 12), or by another modified amount.  But it would NOT be fluid, like number of patrons.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>15 may be a better number, but I guess it would depend on what numbers would work best to ensure uniform and not rapid levelling of guilds.</DIV>
