For me that would be clearing my tavern 16 times per day. It takes people a long time to get 24 seats, I currently have 14 as I check fairly often. And see the silver issue above, you would need to do it that often for the same amount of silver you're getting now. You would have to empty your tavern more than 9 times per day to fit that many people. A full friends list and a full guild would equal 219 people, I don't know the seat cap but let's say 24. Should they decrease the amount of silver earned because now it is available to more people? Why go through the extra trouble of creating more work and mindless clicking for the same benefit? People don't want to see tavern requirements on guilds. Some people just don't want to participate in the taverns any longer and while this should impact their friends list, it shouldn't impact their guild. Add in aiding a full guild and hood and were up to 578. 140 friends aid plus the double tavern click = 420 mindless clicks for friends alone. There are a growing number of people getting sick of the tavern. If the friends tavern is important to you, and suddenly guilds are allowed to participate, your choice in guilds is now impacted by its membership and their participation in the tavern.

This would also interfere with individual play. Guilds and guild mates have a number of benefits allowed to them and only them, this was the one thing special for friends. Even if those players weren't in the forefront of their minds, giving friends a greater importance in the game certainly was. Giving friends a greater importance gave another way for those players to still be social within the game. Now nothing.I really think part of their interest in developing the tavern was to try to help players who chose to go solo and not join a guild. At least before you could tell at a glance, which taverns, you needed to wait for and how long. We could really use more info on the taverns, like when the last time the owner emptied it if it is full or you are still sitting there, not less. It was hard enough to tell if the tavern was sitting for 25 hours or week but now even ones where it is just because of the time limit, have that message. This is one to tell if a player hasn't emptied their tavern recently.

In fact, when I checked again, taverns I just sat in, already said, you still sit here. I checked on the mobile app, many of these were under 24 hours and that device should the time left.

Today I noticed all of the occupied taverns just said, you still sit here. On the friend bar in the PC, the tavern icon is not so obvious as the one in the mobile but at least if you moused over the clock, it would tell you the time left to visit, or if over 24 hours "you still sit here" or "Tavern full". Or am I the only one who uses tavern status as a clue to how active a friend is. I just noticed today, so maybe it is just me.
