GetNumGuildMembers problem

[Spawnova]

I'm using GetNumGuildMembers to return the number on online members but for some reason it returns less then who is online

Wowpedia says argument1 returns total members and argument2 returns who is actually online but argument2 does not return the correct value, interesting enough if i add an argument3 like so:

_,_,1 = GetNumGuildMembers() it does return the correct value

So my question is this. Is wowpedia/wowwikki not updated on this or am I missing something?

I've always gotten correct values if I listen for GUILD_ROSTER_UPDATE and then wait a second or two before calling GetNumGuildMembers.

If you need to force an update and retrieve updated guild information from the server you can call GuildRoster(), which will subsequently cause GUILD_ROSTER_UPDATE to fire when new information is retrieved. Only use this when necessary, however, as it is a server request and will cause a minor game freeze.

Still returns incorrect value. I use this macro to test

/run local _,i = GetNumGuildMembers(); print(i)

But why is it that a third argument always returns the correct value?

Found this line in Blizzard_GuildRoster.lua

local totalMembers, onlineMembers, onlineAndMobileMembers = GetNumGuildMembers()

which is just what I figured.

You're not paying attention to whether they're actually online or just in chat through battle.net.
