Guild Storage

So... Think we'll see it this chapter?

Probably since Factions added Alliance Factions, Nightfall should add storage.

My Magic 8-Ball says... unlikely.

I believe the magic 8 ball.

Consider that with the rash of hacked accounts how bad this could be for a guild. You have a storage full of ecto or something. Poof! gone if one member gets hacked.

Sure you could implement some sort of password protection or officer control. However, then you just have grief if some member quits, wants his stuff back and the officers won't let him get it or give him the password.

Best to just keep your crap to yourself and swap items with guildies on a one-to-one basis.

My "stock trade major decidion device" says - buy.
This means it "may" be avaiable threw the guild lord for 100k or sth like that :P

I have Guild Storage don't you?

When you have a guildhall and you speak to the Guild Lord you can purchase one for 10k. This allows you to have storage in your Guild Hall. If you are asking for storage that is open for everyone in your guild and alliance your just begging for trouble.

I dunno, I'd love it for my guild... we don't tend to have problems with this stuff, and I suppose we'd just say anything we put in the storage is open to anyone who needs it. Can put in things like collector items and weapons that aren't easily sellable but might be useful to someone else.

Won't happen unless there is some huge system along with it. Its just edging people to scam, hack, and just ruin guilds. Sure many will find it fun but it just can't happen.

I vaguely recall some mention that it would probably come as part of Factions, just not at its release... now I guess it isn't even coming with the Nightfall release, though I don't think what I heard was official. I think the material storage was a sort of replacement for that in the end.

I think guild storage is a good idea, it is something that the guild can build upon as a community, RPG guilds can raise funds to support new players in their guild. About scams, well if you're not in a trustworthy guild then learn to not put stuff like ectos in it or anything for that matter. I also think it would be a good idea to let officers and guild leader to have access on withdrawing items from the guild storage.

The arguments against guild storage that I've seen in the Sardelic section is that if it's accessible to everyone; people will just loot the treasure, quit the guild, find another guild, and repeat. And if only officers and the leader have access to it; wouldn't that defeat the purpose of guild storage in the first place?

My take on this: If guild storage would cause trouble and break up guilds, those guilds deserve to be broken up. I want it.

I will probably not use such a thing and I dont believe many in my guild would use it.

But maybe if i didnt need a half decent weapon or item, it would be alot easier than saying I have a sup vigor over the guild chat to give, i could just say, i left something in the storage, if anyone wants GRAB IT NOW ITS UBER.

well i hope there is no Guild storage for obvious reasons

the problem isn't guild breaking up over this. The problem is if one person decides to loot the guild storage and then leave.

Personally, I would love to have guild storage as I trust all my guild mates, hoever, I cannot see how they will be able to provide security without making it a major inconvience to use. I'm not holding my breath for it to ever happen.

Our guild is very small and only people we know so, we would not have the problems stated above, however I could see how it could be a problem for some. Either way is fine with me but, I would be much more happy with just contining to expand our personal storage. I.E. add an armor tab, collectiables tab, ... I think this would be better then guild storage.

Just my 2 cents.

Wouldn't happen in my guild, and I don't care if it happens in another one. In fact, if someone would take the money and run, the victimized guild is better off without the low-life scum among their ranks, at the cost of just some stuff that's in all likelyhood easily replaced.

It's really simple. On the guild level: if you trust your guildies 100%, get guild storage and use it. On an individual basis: if your guild has guild storage but you don't trust all of your guildies, don't put stuff inside it. There's no need for security.

if you use a guild storage as a free item giveaway to guild memebers in need.. who cares if someone joins, takes all the stuff and leaves, its all stuff no one wanted anymore anyway

A guild mailbox would be great! That way you could send something to a guildie with a little note that would pop up when they log in. Rather than holding onto it for however long till you see them log in. "Guess what man, I found a sword just like the one you were saying you needed! It's in your guild mailbox!" I would love a feature like that.

Guild storage would be great too. It should consist of three tabs, materials(stacks of 500-1000 please), stackable(like scrolls or collector items), and upgrades. This would work great for my guild. We don't pass along weapons nearly as much as all the other stuff. There isn't really a need to store collector weapons if you have the required items, plus there is the benefit of it stacking. The upgrades tab would be fantastic! ID a rune you don't need but think someone else might, just drop it into storage. Come across a nice weapons upgrade but can't use it cause you don't have a character that class, into guild storage it goes.

It would be a lot better than just a general storage in my opinion.

...I give away stuff of value


I'm not likin' this idea. I trust my guild, and most of the people in it, but I could see a few people ruining it..and all the whining that would come from other guilds after it happened to them..and we have enough complaining about ANet as it is <_<
