1. No names is not having the desired impact. Please revert this change so that we can see who is who at these wars.
2. I do not think the various alliances are going anywhere at any time soon so might as well increase guild size to 45 OR change it so that once you place someone on the board in your guild it frees up a space for an 'average' member to join so you can fit 35 or 40 in guild at the very least.
3. Fix the 'Ally' function of GVW and provide some dynamic new benefits such as allowing guild owners to trace to their allies and such.
4. It might be far-fetched but the 'buy guild house' function could be re-worked in a way that if a guild contributes a HUGE amount of barr from their collective guild stash they can purchase a guild house - which would result in a doorway being created in the guild village or inside the guild hut to a new map where there are boss spawns once every soma day for guild owners. This creates a further incentive to own the GV and might improve attendance.
5. Allow deputy/co-leaders the ability to recall members of their guild and recall members of their allied guild too.
6. Give guild allies access to the guild hut and the NPCs.

you forgot
7. all members of the guild can use trace

Can’t make it too easy

Rather make guilds smaller and make gvw more competiive and keep it to revery 3 days

+1 4634 smaller guilds more dynamic tactics with everyone fighting eachother

1. This only affects the larger alliances (the change was brought in to prevent this) - join the bigger guild if they let you in. Plenty ways round this too if you really are that bothered than revert back to old way.
Change is good has given you a decent couple of wars recently potentially showing you it can work given the chance.

2. Thats a choice you and the alliances make... if anything fight it out at GV then?... or even party if it works? / wear the same armor / robe from a different alliance or helms same, boots same etc so you guys know whos who within your alliance.

3, 4, 5 & 6 - not a major concern at present with GV imo as the main issue is with the name.. Perhaps focus on ways to make it work then suggest other ideas as you are asking for a few changes when the main issue point 1 is not resolved for your liking.

Would be very interesting to see if you were still asking for smaller guilds if currently you were able to get the most attendance .....
