We dont actualy have guilds in this game atm though, we have linkshells and they are just glorified ways to socialise with other players. Linkshells have not even 1% of the features a proper guild should have. Hopefully Free companies will be better. Sorry to go off topic.
Correct. Auto-linking important drop events (ideally only non-tradeable events, to allow privacy) is a desirable bonus (something that could be toggled on and off, independently from other things in chat). You also point to a more comprehensive gear/inventory comparison feature, and I couldn't agree more. We should be able to see the result of a comparison with the equivalent item we have equipped, or the item you pre-select in a search. This should happen for all full stats and attributes, without restriction of item nature, or selected item location.
