Guild Uniforms

I know that user created content is being considered for guild crests, emblems and so on.
Keeping that in mind (and hoping it gets implemented), I suggest having Guild Uniforms
How would it work: Joining a guild give players the ability to dye their cosmetics with the Guild's colors. Have the Guild Crest on a shield or the robe they are wearing. During a guild war it would be way more immersive and make players feel part of an army.
The cosmetics would dye their equipped items, not transmog them into an actual guild uniform (self identity is important)
It could also differentiate ranks within the guild. For example, a guild might have Red as primary color and Black as secondary. The foot soldiers would get dye in just those colors. But the next rank gets a gold border between the red and black. And so on and so on until you get to the guild master that has a unique color pallet.
This actually serves a point in combat. The opposing guild can then try and go after high value targets and get them out of the fight first.
I feel that guild identity will play an important role in the game, this adds on top of that.
What does everyone else think?

The Emblem location would be depended on the class. Someone that doesn't use a shield might have it on a cloak or directly on their armour. Or maybe we could pick where the emblem would be (to account for your Legendary Shield)
The only problem i see is guilds having similar color schemes. But in that case, the emblem should differentiate enough
I've read in the wiki that one of the benefits for being member of a patron guild of a node is unlock emblems that can be applied to guild armor that can be purchased from the node. It would be nice if that guild armors or emblems are more exclusive since being a patron guild is going to be hard.
Usually agree on a colour palette for guilds but followed loosely.
I wouldn't mind a "toogle guild colour palette" button for battles. Especially with wars/node wars etc involving high numbers of people it would be handy to easily see guild members among allies (in addition to any nameplate colouring etc) ^^
Thats how imagine it, a button and bam, guild colors
Got no interest in looking like everyone else.
Pretty much this ^
The way I see it, it would be something we can easily turn on and off, like the "Show Helmet" thing we have in so many others.
It would not make you look the same as the rest, except if you have the exact same items and are the same race. Its not an outfit or costume or something like that, just the colors and an emblem..
I think it would work well when the guild is playing as a unit, maybe in guild wars or raids. It would be up to each guild to decide if they want to use this.
However, there is a reason that all armies across history used a standard color scheme. Everyone did, from the romans to the modern times. It shows identity, discipline, strength.
This one I'll fight for tbh, as guilds will be the main player community, so something like this would be worth it
Read the comic here!
You can have war crimes! AKA using an enemy's uniform to infiltrate them.
The crest thing I like though, it’ll be hard to implement but I don’t mind the option of having the crest somewhere on your gear.
I wanna answer both at the same time. If the guild say "use dyes for your armor" is actually horrible. They are permanent and you need a new set every time you swap your armor.
As I said before, I think this should be something as simple as "Show Helmet" in other MMOs. Maybe make it part of the Guild Progression so its not free for every guild, but rather those that have been around for awhile.
If guilds start implementing mandatory dyes, it would be horrible for the colorful bard, as now your armor is permanently grey and brown, compared to being grey and brown during a few specific events.
Arrow fletchings could be in the guild’s colors during the PVP themed events.
Painted shields are also common for the common soldier.
Any plans for coats of arms?
Mount barding should have the colors with the excel of knights who fight under their own colors.
Do you want a contract?
