In-Game recruiting - Help!

WhoVille_Sheriff

I posted about this in the guild forums, but this should probably be posted here.

For any/all of us trying to startup or continue a guild, there should be a way to recruit within the game. It is frustrating to only be able to post in forums, which is really only for the most devoted players.

Developers would quickly see that the game is more addictive for new players when senior/experienced players are seeking them out!

My suggestion, aside from searching for players without guilds in the game (also allowing recruiters to see their activity level), would be for guilds to use their currency (raid tickets, credits, etc.) to purchase a higher spot in the guild search for new players.

Yeah saw and responded to your post in guild recruitment and then went looking to see if there was a better place for this and found your post here again so I will post what I commented in the other forum here as well:

I actually like your idea of making players that are guildless searchable by criteria. Players can choose to be searchable for guilds or not. You can then send them guild invites directly in game. Don't really see harm in this at all. This doesn't require IM to be added to game and should be fairly easy to do. The game does seriously lack in this area.
maybe the guild invite could include a brief message description of your guild so you could list things like requirements so the player could decide to accept or not.

Exactly what I'm going for. More community, less back and forth. I think new players are missing out since they aren't being picked up by guilds. Players typically won't consider a guild until either someone mentions it, or the decide to complete the achievement.

Yes please. I've been writing recruitment posts and PM'ing people for weeks here and haven't gotten anywhere. When guilds first started I opened the guild and was able to scroll through I believe the top 200 spots in my arena and send invites to guildless players. Now we can only scroll through the top 50 players in our arenas and I don't see any guildless players there. It would be nice to have a format like that for searching for guildless players, maybe with filters for things like player level and time zone.

I can't imagine it would be too difficult to setup a player search.

Any developers paying attention and ready to respond? I would be glad to layout a plan, if need be. Simple is always best.
