World of Warcraft: New Guild System in Cataclysm

The guild leveling system was a new feature in the Cataclysm expansion. While many changes were made to the original vision of the system, there are still some pretty nice perks. Originally it was going to be more like choosing a spec. Points would be placed in a guild tree to choose specific rewards. This was later changed to just give rewards at certain guild levels instead.

Some of those rewards have also been changed since implementation, since they were abused. Imagine that. For example, Have Group will Travel (mass summon), was used to cheat in raids and bypass trash or other bosses, so now it only works near the entrance. It could have saved guilds a lot of run back time during progression, but of course, someone had to exploit it.

Mass rez is nice though. If one raid member lives, he or she can rez the others. Go, go hunters with feign death.

As with any new feature, not everyone likes the guild leveling system. Keep in mind that none of the perks are really game-breaking if you don't have them, but some are definitely helpful.
