All in all, I do like the concept of guild leaders as a career choice as in EVE but based on what we currently know about the concept I don’t believe they won’t allow Templars to create guilds for others. Forcing small groups to level a specified archetype to create a casual guild would be unreasonable.
On the other hand, I wonder what system would then be in place to find Templars.
Btw, that the class was planned to be a Rank 8 one was already leaked after the FGI in Korea and the Templar class was revealed in Indonesia.
It doesn’t fit in with the melee classes in the Cleric tree at all. It’s a swordsman through and through.
Well, if you don’t see that it affects current and particularly future design and balance of the game… This is offtopic anyway.
