For those asking for a guild-guardian system, it’s never ever going to happen. Period, full stop. You’re asking for an “Old GoW” solution to the issue. Those days are long gone and never coming back.
Crossposting, @Ashasekayi states the situation well:
As has been stated multiple times on this board, the devs are 100% fully “in” to this model, with the whole 4.X patch series serving to rewrite the game’s core systems to adopt to their new direction for the game.
When Sirrian said a couple of dev Q/A streams ago that the next few streams were going to be focused on end-gamers, most thought that meant introducing new endgame content. And while that is technically correct, what he really meant was that these updates (which I believe are not done yet), were introducing new pain points for endgame players that can’t be overcome from the breadth of one’s roster and the depths of their resource accounts.
The core similarity between all of these changes is time. All of these new changes are designed to require endgamers to invest incredible amounts of time to make any significant progress at all. Any changes to reduce the amount of time or grinding needed to achieve progress in these new systems has a literal zero chance of being implemented.
