Guild banners and allies

Question

The description for the karma banner states it gives the bonus to any ally touching it. Does it mean guild member or anyone from your world? The name of the "+5% Exp Public Banner" confuses me.

So are all banner world-wide or restricted to guild members?

Answer 1

The Guild Banners are clickable by anyone in the world and act as advertised.

I say this from personal experience; I once found one at the exit from Rata Sum, which was a pleasant surprise as I went to leave.
