[GW2] The Guild Missions Situation

Just to dispel any misconceptions:

• If you choose to join a large guild, you do not have to leave your small guild.
• If you choose to join a large guild, your small guild is not guaranteed to "die".
• Not every large guild will insist you represent 100% of the time.
• You can play with your small guild and represent the large guild when they do guild missions. 
• There are large guilds which will be absolutely fine with this.
• The Guild Missions update was intended to be for large guilds.
• There is plenty of content which small guilds can do well which large guilds cannot.
• In every game there is content which can only be accessed when you meet certain conditions, that's why it's a game.
• Any update which implements missions which scale with the size of the guild will not be coming soon.
• I would be 100% behind such an update.

So, for now, perhaps entertain the idea of engaging with a larger guild - if only for the sole purpose of getting into guild missions until a solution is implemented. This doesn't HAVE to be something which splits the playerbase if you don't want it to be.

From September 2011:

"In the new game the guild system is like going to a bar. Walk through the door and there could be any number of people milling about. It's likely you've come here with a few friends and that's great, but you know that there will be people in and out of this bar all night. You might choose to visit a few bars over the course of the evening, maybe jump from group to group and socialise with a number of different people. One night you might choose to spend the whole evening in a chill out bar, drinking ice cold vodka from frozen shot glasses. The next you might flit from sports bar to nightclub to strip club - you saucy devil. It doesn't matter if you decide to leave a bar and go elsewhere, you can come back later just as easily if the shisha bar across the street turns out to be a little crappier than you thought it would be."
