Please restore public guild info functions

I can't see any reason why a guild name or its recruitment message should be hidden. That was public information until a few months ago. Is there any reason why it's not now?

I would really appreciate it if these could be restored to their previous functionality, and the library would be very useful to myself and others. Thank you!

I'm no expert but I dont see how that was ever possible. That function requires a guildID which you can only get from your own personal guild index.

You can get the guild ID easily from any guild finder link. Also, the guilds I want to use info from are my own (one on NA, and one on EU), so I don't have any problem there. I just want it to be seen by my addon regardless of who's running it, or it's useless, except with Dolgubon's workaround. (In this case, anyway - there are other potential applications as well.)
