I see what you mean, but I wasn't saying it was a better solution than redoing the guild system. I was just acknowledging that there was another way it could possibly be fixed.
If you, rufus, or fp4 could do this the players would idolize you even more. I think the majority of the competitive community would love it if this happened, but is it possible. Would Xor or whoever makes the final call allow this(im guessing it would put a limit on joined guilds or else it would be back to the same problem). This wouldn't just improve the towering system, it would probably make guild spar better too. I've said it before when players complain, even if someone is willing to work on something it doesn't mean it would be approved by management/ownership.
I talk a lot of crap about pc graal, but the one thing I liked about it was the guild loyalty that players showed. If what you mentioned above would come to fruition it would make classic much better.
