Can we get a "Join SG From Passcode" command?

[Replacement]

A reverse of /altinvite -- an open invite an SG Leader can set up and revoke. 

 

Something I can set up once and put in a macro so all future characters on the server can click to join.

 

This is very "first-world problems" but I alt enough that I don't even know who to invite when I'm on one of my characters with invite rights, until I'm on the character missing SG access.

...and anyone else with the code. Not that doing this for a personal SG is much of a risk, but with a more 'regular' SG, allowing knowledge of the code to get out opens the door to anyone on the server being able to join the SG whether you want them or not, and if you haven't been careful about the settings for base storage, rob you blind. I don't see that the 'extra effort' in creating a new character, starting them in the tutorial or straight to the first zone, making a note of their name, switching to an alt with invite, inviting them, then switching back is particularly onerous for something you do once per character -- a minute or less. Particularly if, when you switch, you're also mailing them a starting cash supply.

Plus it's not like this is the only possible implementation.

An actual reverse altinvite (check if name belongs on your account, if yes, join any SG they lead) would work just as well, albeit a little less flexible for social use.

Anyone who arrived would join at the lowest tier of membership unless promoted, I assume.  Base storage defaults to the top two levels.  I don't see strangers joining your SG to steal as a major impediment.

Considering you have full control over who can do what, yeah, a properly setup SG shouldn't have the issue.

That said, until they can rework the code to allow MUCH larger SGs, then I'm not sure something like this would Yet get traction. I'd like to see it added to the in-game SG roster list interface once it gets an overhaul.
