game needs better inworld methods of recruiting for guilds

kratier

i think there is a need to fill, when like a lot of guilds just are spamming huge walls of text in chat over and over

this game needs recruitment tools, that are in world, maybe bulletin boards, and the guild can pay for advertising space on the bulletin board
and then you can have the guild's relay their huge recruitment memo, perhaps like a piece of paper you can pull off a bulletin board

They could tie recruitment to the guild traders. Add a button in the guild trader window that opens a page with a message from the guild master describing the guild, member requirements, and an option on that page to apply for admittance, which would be sent to a designated guild officer for review. And of course, that option could be turned off if the guild is not accepting new members at the time.

I would love to see "bulletin boards" for guild recruitment in game. Not that I'd use them, I also ignore all the guild criers, since I am a sociophobe and the only way I would bring myself to join a guild is if someone personally talked me into it, which would need a known friend, or several tries...
...but be that as it may, I think it would be nifty to have a bulletin board where guilds can post messages, be it recruiting or otherwise!

been playin since beta with the same peep, small scale/solo pvp and was quite succesfull at it, now that most of my friends stop playing and me wanting to find a new niche, couldn't find a single guild that was recruiting, unless it was a pug pickup group in zone chat, the only people that approached me were from other factions, this game need more guild tool

Sounds like a good idea to me.

The guilds I am in are from people recruting in zone chat and the leaders of the guilds often go on recuriting tours of zone chat.

this would not work for non trade guilds

@dpencil1
Only problem is if the guild is too short on funds.
They would not be able to purchase a spot for their trader plus if they're not a trade guild, they're infinitely screwed from your suggestion.

I thikn it would be fun if there was NPCs walking and advertising guilds, also some Boards where one can find a Guild. Also I would use that NPC-system for Cyrodil, what if there was NPCs in Cyrodil and if guy wants to join a Party/Raid, he needs to talk to the NPC. Going to suck if they follow some Neverwinter's heavy structure kind of thing.

I'd suggest the game needs to establish a couple of meaningful reasons to be in a guild and of a certain size.

Maybe have things like
-crafting bag tiers
-crafter benefits like research, etc
-group bonus for dailies or trials
-costumes
-exp Rate increases

I think better option would be to have a ''Guild Finder'' tab next to the Guild Menu which would allow you to check some boxes such like ''Roleplay'', ''Hardcore'', ''Relaxed'', ''Trials'', ''Dungeons'' and ''PvP'' for example (overall could be like 8-20 different options). Then the finder in turn would search for guilds that have checked the same or most of the same boxes as the player who is searching. After that, it would show a list of guilds and by clicking a guild the ''About Us'' box would pop from the guild or a guildmaster could write their own short-ish description about their guild and what kind of players they're looking for. Then the person could just contact the leader or there could be an option to send an application.
