Guild NPC Merchants aren't cheap and we want it to feel even more rewarding to have them in our guild halls, along side having guild members not feel the need to hop all over the maps to get a rune trader merchant, etc.
Anet CAN do this and they should.
For every purchase made to a npc in that particular gulid hall, the guild leader should get a 50% to 25% commission. If the leader buys something from his own hall, the comission don't apply (but it would be nice if it did anyway). The rest of the profits would go to whoever's been getting the profits anyway.
Guild Leaders Earn Commission Through Guild Hall Merchants

Bad idea at all.

I think you miss the point of those merchants. They're in game as a gold sink, removing gold from the economy to help keep prices at a reasonable level. If you make the gold sink less efficient, the prices on everything go up. Unless, of course, you're looking forward to the day an ecto costs 100 plat?

Any successful guild I've been in has grown as guild, thus has contributed as a guild. This means that any guild I've been in, the guild leader has not solely funded the guild hall. It's also incredibly unfair to the members who never had the chance to contribute, yet the guild leader makes a profit off their use? Just sounds really, really stupid. There's a price to pay for having a guild - this is it.

Nope, and I am a guild leader!!
Me and 2 officers bought all of the NPC's, not expecting any reward other than the simple convinience of having them there.

I dont even own a guild and have never been interested in having one, but because of how great my guild leaders have been in the past, I would like to agree with this idea because it gives a little back to the people that bother to waste their time to setup and manage a guild.
Also, a new person to a guild with a fully equipped hall likely wont ever contribute much to it anyway.
It doesnt have to be much, maybe just 1% from each sale, but it is a decent idea.
Just as long as the player doesnt pay any extra, why should it matter?

Nope, I am serious that I support this idea.
Every tom dick and harry will run of to try and create a guild to try and get rich, and I can stay in one without these people XD.
Make it so enticing for the idiots to form their own guilds that I can find one that they are not a part off.
Yay! /signed.
You know, all the people that ask silly questions in Guild Chat like 'How do I make money?'
You tell them to start their own guild and maybe they'll go away XD

For those who don't know it costs a lot of gold to get the npcs. 10k to 100k for all the npcs. And Guild leaders and officers should be able to get a comission off purchases players make with the npcs they bought for their guild. like a 10%comission. That's not trolling. You can't troll to make gold to buy the npcs. YOu take the time to buy the npcs for your hall, the reward should be fulfilled for convenience of all sorts.
Issac
So I could buy a guild from someone who as hall the npcs and buy lock picks for really cheap and sell them to other ppl for higher prices. That would be nice lol.
Phantom Flux
Actually only guild leaders would get a commission off what members buy in off the npcs.
quickmonty
I'm a guild leader. Why should I make a profit on other people using the hall and the NPC's?
This is the most stupid idea I have ever seen here, and I've been a Guru member for a long time.

Terrible idea because I bought my guild's merchant, and I'm not the guild leader. If you are in a guild where other officers bought the features of the guild, it is unfair to them.

The idea is perfect. Of course Guild leaders should get a profit. They bought the npcs. Let the leaders get a 10% commission of items purchased and let the rest go to cantha.

Well I recognize the value of the gold sink, I'm not completely opposed to the idea. The major problem is the huge commission you're proposing. 50% of all sales? A good guild leader would turn around and give the gold back to his members, effectively giving everyone in a guild a half-off on all items.

If your guild is full of broke people, just do what mine did. Start up a "guild fund" and hold money on one char, or somebody else that's trustworthy, and every so often people donate a little cash toward a particular NPC. If somebody wants that particular NPC bad enough, they'll put some cash in. 5k every other couple of days from 3-4 guild members adds up. I'm sure that's nothing to all the uber1337 3ct0 f4rm3rz, but with those of us who aren't afraid of sunlight, it's pretty sweet.
If you have problems picking out an NPC... then you're in the wrong guild.

?I'm not a leader, not even an officer. Still some of my money was used to buy those NPC's. Should I get some commission too?
This feature is not needed. You bought those NPC's for yourself to use too.

PS. If you are in good standing with your GL, you would just buy stuff for the full price, the GL would receive the commission, and port that 10% right back to you. Cheap stuff for everyone, yay.

When I formed HML as split of LotU I got the sigil from a guildie and bought the npcs myself (I did not allow others to donate, do the math on how much that set me back...).
I know that we would also had a full hall the same day as the split if my guildies had been able to buy the npcs.
It's my investment in the guild besides my spare time.
I think that's what a guild is about. Team effort.
If you can't afford a full hall as guild, so what?
Not every player has the 100K for the most expensive npcs but do you really need them? And if so, why not have 5 guildies donate 20K each? Or 10 guildies 10K each.
I don't see any reason why I as leader should get gold for something that is not even needed.
My first guild had a completely empty hall and still I managed to get everything I needed from outposts and towns.

As a guild leader myself, you have left me with no choice but to wholeheartedly decline such a ridiculous request!

It's a comission and 10% isn't much either. You guys the npcs, great and then when a player purchases (for ex: an ecto) automatically a small percentage would go into the account of the guild leader. Whatever the GL decides weither to split it among others should be his decision.
Plus this should take the idea of most guild players trying to pull illegal gold purchases. I certainly don't believe in buying gold and this idea is a great way to discourage it. 10% isn't a lot. To actually make guild members donate gold is terrible, especially if they might not have it. Think of commissions of the npcs as a fund raiser for your guild, yourself, whatever.
Many players decide to not buy all the npcs for his hall because it does get tiring to always come up with 100K after a few other just to get them. Guild leaders should get them.

I put my time and gold nurturing a very good guild with a fully loaded hall. There should be a reward and commission. Making gold these days isn't easy anymore and this is a nice way to to go on about it, period.
Rushin Roulette
Id say thats your own damn fault for not asking for a collection in the guild and a vote as to which trader should be bought when.
Im not a GL, but an officer in our guild and I bought about half of the traders myself, the rest were split between a guild collection and the GL buying them herself.... Who gets the commissions for purchases then?
Your idea to have even the mat, dye and rune traders throw off commissions is so extremely lame it hurts just to think about thinking about it.
