Question about Influence

I'm going to start off with a confession and we can take it from there: I started my own guild. Don't shoot! I'm not planning on leaving Aureus: I'm just creating a "guild bank" for my personal use. I believe that 1500 Influence will get me a 50-slot guild bank and lets face it: space is pretty much always at a premium and will only get tighter as I level up and accumulate items. Food alone is sucking up my inventory slots. Once i reach 1500 Inlfuence I'll be switching back to Aureus on a permanent basis.

Now that I've gotten the confession and reasoning out of the way, does anybody have some tips on the best way to earn Influence? I know I get a few for DEs and for loggin in every day (wich I plan on doing with both guilds) and I know I can earn some in PVP and WVW. Are there any specific tactics that I can use to speed up the process and earn some points on a regular basis?

For something as light as 1500 I think I'd recommend just spending the gold on buying it. I think it's the guild registrar NPC. You just talk to him and buy a banquet and boom influence.

Also traitors will be executed....

Roger that Ryan. Already done so don't expect a reply or thank you from him for your advice.

Claims of my demise are greatly exaggerated! I've repented and returned to the fold. None are so lost that they cannot be brought back to the light!

So, on a related note, now that we're working on getting influence for guild missions (and the upgrades necessary to get their pre-req research) what are the most effective ways to quickly earn influence? I believe running events with guild-mates gets 10 influence per person representing the guild (minimum of 2). I think I saw that dungeons also boost influence, but I really don't know what the mechanic behind that is. What are some of the other major sources of influence?
