VIP Identification

In our guilds, we try to protect those members who aren't VIP3+ and those who are, but aren't online.

Since Tynon has taken the VIP designation from the front of our names in Chat, we no longer have a way to determine who has autograb from arena and who does not.

There is a simple fix for this: In Guild, when you're looking at Guild Members, only members of a guild can see that list. Put the designation in there. Then, if we aren't sure, we can look at the list and know who has and who doesn't have autograb in the arena.

Yeah, that was the main thing the designation was good for, was determining which guild members I could hit in the Arena when they were offline.

I want my VIP1 banner back. It used to appear in chat, now it doesn't. Wasn't that one of the perks we paid for?

They took it out on purpose. My guess is a lot of drama ensued between VIP-identified players and non-paying players, so the developers of the game felt it best to keep the explicit VIP level out of the chat.

I would like if they brought it back only for Guild chat though. It has legitimate usage in Guild chat (knowing who auto-collects in Arena, for instance).

Agreed. The VIP banners did cause alot of hostility between VIP and non paying players. Even VIP1 was "bad" to some. But completely agree that in guild chat it would help to know who has auto collect and who does not.

A little toggle icon would even work. Then anyone can choose if they would like their status displayed publicly. I see the argument from both sides. I personally didn't like my level being displayed to the world. I don't mind it being in guild chat though. I think a toggle switch would be great.

Yes! Please add an online and VIP level indicator on the guild screen. It would solve a LOT of issues we're having in our guild.

Some of the big coin players resented the rainbow coloured VIP badges of shame that proved to ALL that they were yea-verily the "coin whores" many were attesting in World Chat (via the spurious speaker attacks) who were literally buying their way to the top of the leader boards when such got into the Park Place and Board Walk neighborhood of VIP 8-12 or so. So much for rainbow badges of pride. Everyone's back in the closet now with no not even a scarlet letter of shame...

I like the idea about an online indicator. An vip indicator just have to show if you are below vip3 or not ( lamp on / lamp off ) ;)

Cant you just keep a list? If they are not on line then you would not be able to tell if they are or not because they would not be on the chat window anyway. If you do not already know who they are send a Guild mail asking the VIP 3 or above to let you know and when you have the list send it out in Guild Mail to all the members.

Andy is right. A list of who is VIP and what level, would clear the auto collect issue up.
