Patch 4.3: Guild masters can now be impeached

With patch 4.3 hitting the PTR, a heck of a lot of new information is coming fast and furious. While there"s plenty of stuff in there that we"ve been expecting, there are a bunch of surprises in there as well.

One of the most interesting new but unannounced changes: Patch 4.3 looks to bring with it a mechanism by which you can impeach an inactive guild master. What criteria are required to set an impeachment aren"t known yet, but a quick look at the code suggests that after a certain amount of time, a guild"s second-in-command will be able to take control of a guild set adrift by a leadership vacuum at the top:
GUILD_IMPEACH_POPUP_CONFIRM = "Dethrone";
GUILD_IMPEACH_POPUP_TEXT = "Your guild master has been flagged as inactive. You may assume control of the guild. Do you want to remove the guild master?";
World of Warcraft is just a game, and real-life issues frequently come up for guild masters that prevent them from doing their job or indeed even logging on. Given how much effort goes into getting a guild to level 25, this change appears to answer an underlying need for leadership succession.
Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Look at what"s ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back!
