I have recently stepped in to lead my Guild while our guild master attends to some other business.
I have a guild member who says they are frequently being demoted in rank even though they are meeting our minimums. Our guild master never demoted them and I don’t even know how the whole rank thing even works, so it wasn’t me.
So my question is this: Is there some automatic mechanism that ranks guild members or is it completely manual? Because I can’t for the life of me figure out how this is happening and more importantly, I don’t know how to keep it from happening again.
Sorry to tell you, but promoting and relegate members of the guild is completely manual.
Looks like you got a bug of some sorts when the leader position got changed tho…
Yeah, only the Guild Master (rank 1) can demote and kick but anyone rank 2 (or higher) can promote players. Is it possible someone was promoting them when they shouldn’t have been promoted so your GM was demoting them back down to the rank they were supposed to be at?
If not that, then I would agree it’s probably a bug.
I’m technically rank 2 in my guild (my wife is the real Guild Master, don’t tell her I’ve been claiming the throne!) and I can’t demote. I’m assuming all guilds are the same (plus on the little guild graphic it shows only Guild Masters have that ability).
So, technically, your wife’s the only one who can demote and who is the GM. Why haven’t you and her talked about changing this so that you are the Rank 1 of your Guild? Does she not play often enough to do the GMing?
True, the GM can only demote, but I wonder if perhaps there had/has been a promotion issue like what was explained above, whereby someone keeps promoting the person in error?
Guild Master demotes self to Sentinel. They will still have the ability to promote, so then they just promote someone else who is a Sentinel. That other player becomes Guild Master.
