Increase Number of Guild Ranks.

Dreddpool

Would it be possible to have this increased from 4 to say 6-8 as four is too few ranking options, if this could be increased that would be great, most other MMOS that have a ranking system aren't limited to 4 ranks, i know we can rename as we want but increasing thiis number would be very helpful.
PS; Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I didn't know what section to put it in.

There really isn't an appropriate section of the Forums (yet) to leave those types of 'suggestions' but you could try using the IN-GAME /feedback command maybe.

Also, just out of curiosity: Why do you feel it necessary to have more than 4 'ranks' ? Are you talking about like a maxed out 500 player guild and you need to keep track of everyone in little 'factions' or something?

I'm more of a quality over quantity type Guild person , so i was just curious.

Quidel

no, quality over quantity still applies. but it is nice if you can rank more groups giving a more structure outcome and allowing for a good chain of command. really helps when planning large raids. also nice to have some give room for advancement and incentive to work more with your guild.

It's actually a very big thing for Guilds. In effect there are only three actual ranks, as the 4th is reserved for the Guildowner. It's not just an in-game thing, lots of Guilds have internal ranks outside of the game.

My Guild, for example, has 5 current ranks. Fresh Corpse, Shambler, Slasher, Elder Undead, and then the owner (we aren't called The Dead Persuasion for nothing n_n). In-game, though, we only get three ranks to work with. Here we encounter an issue.

In our Guild, Fresh Corpse is your rank for about two weeks after you join, during which time you're expected to make yourself known around the forum and generally become a member of our little internet family. Shamblers are our "full members". However, with only having three ranks in-game, we have to combine the first two ranks into one general one, which makes it harder to tell who's who when it comes to people using names that don't match the ones they use on the forum.

There's also the point that currently Fresh Corpses don't have any Bank access, while Shamblers have deposit rights. However, since atm the Initiate rank is broken in-game and people have to be bumped to Member, it means having to watch the Guild Bank like a hawk to see who's depositing what. And to anyone wondering; we prefer Fresh Corpses to send items they want to contribute to the Guild Bank to senior members w/ full access so we can keep a running tally of that person's actions and activity, without having to dig through dozens upon dozens of transactions from other full-access members.

So tl;dr: Having numerous Ranks can only help Guilds, especially ones with more out-of-game ranks or who have unusual hierarchy/structure for their varying ranks. Also in terms of numbers, we only have maybe 20 active people so far, so it's not simply a matter of having too many people to keep track of and thus needing "factions" within the group to make it easier.

I do not see what the issue is on the side of the developers to give us this request? I am an officer in a guild with 450+ members. So one rank is the guild leader. One rank is for officers. One rank for members. One for recruits.

So that's four, right? Wrong. One rank is used by the leader. And only one person can be specified as leader. So now we have 449 members with 3 ranks, right? Wrong. Because recruit has bugs with it in regards to bank functions. So now we are down to 2 ranks for 449 members? That's just not acceptable.

We have PvP group leaders, PvE group leaders, event leaders, etc. Running a guild of this size successfully requires lots of management and without the proper tools at our disposal this job becomes much more difficult. How can it be an issue to make 6-8 ranks with the same options as the current ones so that we can divide our membership easier?

The guild bank is another HUGE issue. We need more control options in there to limit the items taken. This could be easily solved by giving us tabs that could have access privileges set the same way that the guild ranks are set. This way higher level items, purples and such, can't be taken from one member and sold using another guild's store. And yes I did get the tabs idea from other MMO's but, if it works so well there why would you waste time and effort redesigning the wheel?

And lastly, I really don't care if this is the appropriate channel to voice our opinions on this, until someone gives us a place to express our concerns, they will keep seeing these kind of posts pop up all over the place.

*end rant* And I apologize if I seem overly zealous to this issue but my members are complaining to me... and so I am passing it down hill.

How do you create more ranks?

Jujujitsu

There is no way for us, the ESO customer, to create more guild ranks. That is why we are here asking the devs to provide us with this functionality.

This a million times over. My Guild is a gaming community and we exist across many different games. We need at least one more rank for our purposes.

I also planned more ranks in my guild...2x as much at least. And as someone wrote before, the guild ranks are bugged, the access for using the chat for example doesn't work, everyone can talk even if this option is unchecked.
