Guild rank change in cata beta

A nice new option for guild leaders in cata is to require people to have an authenticator bound to their account before they can be promoted to specific ranks that the guild leader enables the option on.

The Cataclysm beta currently features a Requires Authenticator checkbox in the guild controls for each rank in a guild. Once activated for a rank, you cannot promote someone to that rank unless he or she is using an authenticator. At this time, the highest rank below Guild Master defaults to Requires Authenticator's being checked, and all other ranks default to its being off.

This is a much more reliable tool than making members show their Core Hound Pup in order to get guild bank privileges, which was really the only way to verify authenticator use before. Of course, this is the beta, and that means the functionality may change drastically before making it to live, if it does. I predict, however, that Blizzard will try its very best to release this setting, as its use should reduce time spent recovering stolen bank items.

Re: Guild rank change in cata beta

Overall, probably a very nice change.

In our case, it sort of sucks since:
- the guild master of this guild is a noob to the bone and
- he does not have an authentificator omglol (common rumour has it it's not entirely his fault, since a. Blizzard does not ship goods to his country of origin and b. when he asked one of the class leaders to order the authentificator for him, the dude cold bloodedly forgot about it).

A mobile phone authenticator is just as valid as the physical one, and most people tend to go into a panic if their phone has been missing for more than 8 seconds, so that might be a good way to make sure you always have it.
As for his phone being up to the task, that's something only he knows tongue

No, my mobile phone does not suport hi tech like aythentificator. It does, however, have a flashlight and in case of emergency can be used as a hammer.

You can see what phones are supported by going to the following site: http://mobile.blizzard.com/ It costs 0.50 euro to buy it through there, and it has quite a few mobile phone models and brands supported.
