Dear Officers. Stop inviting friends rank unless...

[Hitshade]

I care that people get ranks they deserve.

Given the system I suggested, they still would. Hell, add an Elite Raider rank above Core for even more recognition. You clearly want some structure as shown by what you expect of the ranks. Unfortunately you currently don't have a way to show recognition to deserving players, without having to promote them to CL.

Its greatly diminishing the structure that any half way successful guild deserves. We deserve it Abe, we really do. Just as you deserve to be able to show recognition, all the while still being able to count on the people holding "true" CL and Officer ranks to do what they should be doing.

With my suggestion, people still get that recognition, they would still have access to o-chat for their valuable input. CL/Officer alts have a rank that wont cause any confusion and you will have in place Class Leaders, that actually live up to the expectations you have of the rank.

Its a win-win scenario.
