Guild Storage

I wish GW had a Guild Storage. I don’t mean Storage in the Guild Hall, they fixed that one. I mean a Storage account that can be accessed in the guild hall by any of my guild members. SO I can open it and put stuff I don’t need in it, and maybe a guildie needs it.

Just an idea

i thought i remembered reading something about this coming actually.. but i could be wrong

ArenaNet has said "soon", or at least "in the future", so don't expect it to ever happen.

this topic has been mentioned quite a few times, so it probably going to get locked

and so, they said this with the armor and greens update, they also said soon.

really, people dont have patience

This would be a really good idea, but I have just got to imagine someone camping the guild storage like a retarded Everquest player. I'd be all . But other people putting their stuff in knowing it was going to be sold immediately would be just like
However I just don't think people really want to be generous and put stuff in. Apart from the whiptail devourer.

Maybe make only officers able to access it? Or even make it so that when a member accesses is a notification appears for each officer and at least 1 would have to approve the withdrawal or something. Or even something as simple as a deposit/withdraw history would make it easy, along with a blocking/limitation system for who can withdraw.

Or it should be limited to officers so people cannot join and leech. Either that or a detailed log to track it all.

an easy fix to leechers taking it and then leaving the guild is to assign them a value to each item they took and if they want to leave the guild, they have to pay the surcharge first. I would love to have a Guild Storage so I can drop max items in it for Guildies rather than giving them away on Shing Jea Island or Pikens Square to low level characters. As with the many threads about this before.

sheeshhh

guild storage would be like a separate independent guild xenia branch in the guild hall.

just as safe and secure and accessable as the regular one.

two people want to trade in the hall simply go to the guild branch vault and get what they want out of it.

size to be determined.

Something that our guild has done as well to suit this type of purpose is a whole seperate account (coined our "Mule" account). One of my officers was gracious enough to buy a new account for it ^.^, so... we have 4 people in our guild that can access it, and every character has all the bags, puches and runes of holding to hold items.

How many times have you had a nice item that you couldn't seem to sell, or didn't want to merchant or salvae, even if your storage was full?

Everything is on donation, not necessarily safekeeping. So... if someone finds a good gold sword or bow, or wand, or rune, or has extra materials to dump off, they can ask one of the "Mule Officers" to log on and take the items.

I was a little skeptical, but it has been extremely successful. Now if anyone starts a new char, is shopping for a weapon, or needs some material for armor, our Mules are more than stocked to provide it.

And people arent cheap either, we have had our fair share of green items, max Gold Chaos Axes, mounds and mounds of material (including Jadeite and Amber Chunks) and a Ton of good runes, just available on demand.

Sometimes, we merchant items to make room for others, which that gold has been used to donate for some of the guild NPC's, now we have all of them.

I dunno, maybe our guild just rocks ^.^, but theres another alternative for those who may wanna take that route.

I've posted a question / comment to arenanet on the Guild Storage that has been said to be implemented in the game at "some time soon". (I'm too impatient need answers!)


Hope I'll get some answers on when it's gonna appear.

PS: also read this topic

Guild storage is definately needed. The big question is how to make it work. The reason resources are shared is generally to help your friends or guildies and because someone doesn't have the coin to purchase the materials themselves. In additoin, sometimes a person needs financial help to purchase something they want. If guild storage were setup to allow large stacks like of 2000 Iron Ingotes for example instead of the personal 250 limit the guild storage wouldn't need a large amount of slots. And it could have options like the following:


Options

storage usage options - If a person is a memeber of the guild for X number of day (with X being ajustable by the leader and/or an officer) they can access the storage.

storage deposite options - allow the leader to set who can deposit to the storage. Leader Only, Leader and Officers, All

set a sell price per item with an option to allow leader, or leader and officers to set price. Any item with a cost of zero would be available to anyone in the guild.

Leader/Officer approval - Example: member clicks item in guild storage and indicates quanity requested. An approval botton (like the Trade button) appears on the leaders and all officers screen. A leader clicks the botton it then expands showing the name of the user and there request. The leader could accept or modify and accept the users request.

monitary usage - a request by a member for cash should require approval from the leader and/or an officer.

The guild leader should have total control of the guild storage.

This would be great for my guild and would be a great starter for guild storage.

No, just no.

people will find a way to abuse it no matter what Anet is going to try

OK, I agree that people will abuse it no mater what but it that reason enough to say no. It is needed for guilds to help each other and many guilds will not have issues. Its up to Anet to ban peeps that can't or won't stop themselves from abusing the system. I personally can't wait for guild storage.
