Praise is sorda crazy and inflated, and won't always accurately reflect the current status of a guild.

It'd be nice if praise reset every election (at the end of the election). While I understand that the 2 things aren't directly related to each other in a significantly meaningful way, praise has the potential to be an accurate indicator of how well respected a particular guild/Vanarch is.

More importantly, many guilds have members constantly coming and going. Even guild leaders change over time for many guilds. A well respected guild today doesn't equal a well respected guild tomorrow, yet praise as it is implemented now could take months to accurately reflect this.

It's also daunting for a new guild to rise to respect seeing as everyone else has had this huge period of getting massive amounts of praise. Competing in any meaningful way is pretty much impossible, and many players see praise as a sign of guild quality.

It'd also be nice if players were prompted to provide praise when they group with players of different guilds. In essence, ask if they were awesome and if they would like to praise their guild.

As I said before, praise has the potential to be an accurate indicator of how awesome a guild is. What do you guys think?

I personally feel that it should also be impossible to praise your own guild.

Agreed to both of you.

It really is dumb.

PS +1 Banono great post!

doesnt matter, zerg guild just going to praise themselves and force new members to do so.

Vanarchy system is broken and useless and doesn't affect 99% of the players EXCEPT in taxes....good going whoever thought this little gem up.

Your crappy gank guild isnt getting elected? Cry more.

I didn't post this suggestion for my gain, as I'm not even a guild leader. I'm also part of a fairly large, well praised guild. I simply want praise to be a more accurate and relevant reflection of a guild's awesomeness.

Praise should be removed all together because all people are doing is praising themselves

The whole vanarchy system should be removed in my opinion.
