Guild Member Cap Devs please weigh in on this

As an engineer working product experience in the broadcast industry I can tell you that technical reasons are totally IRRELEVANT to the customer. The customer couldn't care less about technical limitations, not should they. This game apparently has a whole bunch of technical limitations that make it seemingly impossible to implement things that other games have. That is not acceptable to customers in the entertainment service industry. It is the job of the software engineers to find ways to overcome the technical difficulties to ensure the best possible experience for the end user - not just wring their hands and say "sorry, its a technical limitation!"

Conquests are already unbalanced as it is. its a massive numbers game and grind fest. The big guilds will always have the upper hand, and small guilds will never have a chance as long as its an absolute numbers game. That is the very nature of conquests. So I dont see the relevance of your argument here.

Agreed but forcing people into smaller cliques is not the solution.

I agree, it needs to be raised. One of our members has 12 55s, most of us have at least 5-8 at this point.

Customers couldn't care less about a great many things. However that doesn't change those things from being true. Software runs on computers, computers are physical objects that use physical means to function, they have limitations, just as every other machine has limitations. Throwing wishes at it will never change that.

yes and it is the job of engineers a developers to overcome those limitations within reason. Asking for a higher guild cap is not unreasonable.

If you are referring to the person who said to impose standards that is one of the most constructive comments here.

The word is IGNORED. Something does not become irrelevant simply because you choose to deny how important it is.

It's not unreasonable to ask, but it is unreasonable to assume the limits can be overcome when you don't work directly with the system.

Need it increased or changed to 500 UNIQUE members since alot of us are beginning to have 6-7 or more alts

I abandoned thread a few days ago because I knew it was going nowhere but it actually got constructive.

My guild does not recruit everybody under the sun, we have a bunch of founders with 10-12 55's that they play. We have been around for almost 9 months ago, its not like we cropped up over night.

500 unique accounts would be nice because then we would be at 300, plenty of room to expand.

We toyed with a sister guild with a custom chat channeled shared between the two guilds however with conquests now we are not going to buy two guild ships and have the main and alt guild competing against each other .

And yes IGNORED is true, because if I went and asked a question to Blizzard, En Masse or any other games community boards chances are I would get some kind of response at least from a CM. This is just pathetic. I guess you guys are just busy making new packs.

Um, no. There is no game forum where every question asked gets a CM/dev response. Demand (although nicely in your case) and jump up and down and pout all you like, it changes nothing.

They gave an answer in the past, and while an update would be nice, none has come forward yet. I guess the answer is still nothing in the works.

The cap is 500 as I recall, which is actually pretty standard as far as MMOs go, and not really that low a number.

The reason the cap is where it is, and not just in this game, is performance issues related to how guild data has to be updated and transmitted between the servers and client PCs. Its very very unlikely that they will ever increase the limit.

For more information you can try and find stuff form their Guild Summit that took place a few months after the game launched.
