I'm not sure how long you guys have been around, but this isn't a first step... it's a check in the box. (Kind of like we've had 1 quality of life update). If you say this is great, they aren't going to fix anything else.
I think some of you may be missing what the Guild notifications say. They are based on the Orders you can give... it doesn't say anything past that. So, you'll be able to notify members which CMs to hit/not hit, and for Macattack9, I could see this being useful for a very small number of guilds.
"Leaders/Officers will be able to send a push notification and Inbox Message to guild members letting them know that Guild Orders have been changed" Doesn't say that you will be able to enter free-form text that a lot of you (including myself) would like.
If guild orders don't include territory deployments, I doubt they are going be useful for the vast majority of guilds.
Contribution Max Lock is still a horrible idea if it is automatic and can’t be bypassed or otherwise controlled by officers.
Right, so... I started playing a month after launch I think? Much less time here on the forums admittedly.
This is why we give the feedback. They've announced things, then because of the pushback, made adjustments (24 hour phases for TB for example). So, these are a good step. I like many of the things they've announced as they stand. But there are some things that DON'T work, and here's hoping they listen to this feedback and adjust. They're saying this update drops with Guild Wars, and since we have no drop date for that, I'm hoping they have time to tweak these things to our requests.
We use discord for our communications, and as you've pointed out (as did I and several other folk) that push notification isn't helpful if it doesn't actually say what the order is. The auto lock at 3* doesn't work for anyone here as far as I read. Needs to be officer controlled like opening a raid.
Other than those two issues, I do think the other tools are very helpful (maybe not for our guild at 41*, but certainly for less communicative/organized guilds) for the community. It's a big step and I'm grateful for it. Some have missed the mark a bit, and I wished they'd taken us up on that thread I posted about communicating with guild leaders/officers directly so we could have made this point earlier, but again, really appreciate the step and help.
