This a petition for a Guild's Storage. This would be like the storage account for a single player but for the whole guild to access. My guild currently has one in the form of a character of one of the officer's slots. This get's very sad because we only have access when he is online and if he is not busy GvGing, ABing, or whatever he is doing at the time.
The Guild "Bank" as my guild has come to call it, would be storage, and then some. It would have increased size, for the whole guild. And hold more money, not that one person would be putting 1000k+ in that at one time.
Now because this is for the whole guild, a small guild will not be needed a very large one. My guess would be the the same size as a normal storage(20 items I believe) for 1 person in the Guild(it would be the leader). And 1 more additional slot for an item, and 1k more as the max money in the guild bank. This would cap at about 50 items and 1500k in the bank.
Now with all these items and money we can't have everyone have access to this. There would need to be like a limitation on who can use it. The guild leader can grant the ability to officers to limit access to the bank. The guild leader him or herself can also grant that ability. There would also be an ability to grant after a certian time after a Member is in the guild. So if Member A has been in the guild for 5 weeks, but isn't very trust worthy, his or her ability to use the Guild Bank can be taken away. But if Member B has only been in the guild 1 week but we can trust him or her, access to the guild bank can be given to him or her.
This would be one of the Guild Hall's services but would not cost 100k. It would cost 200k. 2 payments of 100k. Not that hard.
Thanks for reading!
Please sign this for a more organized Guild Storage and an increased storage like we were promised!

Knowing how A-net likes to play with us, this will be some sort of Xunanli (sp?) quest like in factions. Then you must deicde if your guild storage will be allianced with your personal storage or not, and then you can only access it when your country has favor.

Well personally, if the storage is as Nilator described...I wouldn't put a thing in it.
J snukka
ok if that is the case they would have done it by now. They are giving us what they say they are giving us. Just sell your crap to the merchant geez. Guild Storage wtf. You give it to your guildie, if not, then you sell it or keep it. Stop asking for more space to put junk. I think the slots they are offering is just enough for 80% of the players.

And as the idea, it has been suggested before and its not needed and will be abused. Are you always gonna guess who's "trustworthy" and who's not? Someone who is allowed to access it and wants to leave the guild might take everything and go.

How is having guild storage any different to personal storage, exactly what will you put in there? More personal storage would be better.
What would be the point in a storage that a whole guild can access? So someone can "borrow" your fellblade for mission? Or hold your customised armour for a while. There is no point.
We need personal storage not something that can be abused in so many ways. (see above post)

p.s the material vault is a good start

You guys are missing the point of this. This doesn't mean put your 15^50 req 8 fellblade in it. It is for like, you have some extra cloth, someone in your guild might need it. Put it in the bank.

This isn't a selfish thing for more storage for yourself. This is so that the guild can have a communal storage where everyone can contribute and everyone can take some stuff out when they need it

i like it because many times i might have something to donate... but the guild mules are not on, or even extra cash to give i can stick it there, although will have to pretty much monitor it, or even better have a transaction list of items that the guild leader can view so if someone is leeching kick um... kinda stink if they would guild hop and rob people though....

well a good reason why this isn't in is the point that an officer can not only kick members but if this was implimented then they could steal all your gold and items you've put in.
My guild got attacked by someone kicking all the our members out we did recover from this luckily so if you reading this "ha ha"
if you want to donate something just ask who needs materials, chances are they may sell it but its the same senario with this idea.

Well I think that anything I out in there I dont need so I would not care who in the guild took it.....
I submitted a post aslo for an idea of Guild Mail.... to leave an item or two in a mailbox for a guild mate..... I thought that was a good idea

people just arent trustable enough. One thing this would need to work is a log to say who put in and took out what (otherwise anyone "trustable" could just take something (or everything) and no one whould know who did it).
There are many solutions to storage but this one would only work in a perfect world as it is, unless you could put items in and have a setting where it does not allow anyone else to take it (which kindda defeats this ideas main purpose).
as is it seems waaay too exploitable

Just throwing an idea out there, what if the items taken out of storage were 'customised' as guild items. Meaning that you couldn't sell it to the merchant, and if you left the guild the items returned to the storage. Only the origional owner could reeove them as their own. As for materials you shouldn't be able to merchant them but you should be able to use them for armor. Oh, and no trading them to non guildies.
Any thoughts on that? any problems you can see?
EDIT: Just had another idea, if the person wants the item back, they should be able to press a button and retrieve it from a person using it so long as they are not in an explorable area. This would stop people grabbing items out of storage and holding them 'hostage'

I think that griffonclaw has a good idea on the customized thing, and I totally agree with the guild storage thing because then if you ran out of area in personal storage, than you could go to the guild storage! and about the customized thing, maybe it could be that it was customized for the person who put it in there unless they specified that it wasn't to be customized for them.

Guild storage is the most retarded concept ever produced. There's no point. If you are in a guild where you loan items, then ffs, loan the item out personally at your own discretion and don't expect to get it back either. The system is fine the way it is, unless you really want people shoving stuff into an additional storage and getting that robbed constantly.

In this case, the biggest thief (exploiter) would be the guild leader himself since he can take whatever he likes.
Anyway, I don't like the idea at all. I would prefer extra slots for personal storage, which is much more safer.

I think this is a great way to promote a more communal attitude on Guild Wars as opposed to the usual MMORPG selfishness. Sure we all want what's best for our own characters but say you get a few coloured dye drops after all 6+ of your characters have several 15k armours dyed perfectly already, or a few extra crafting materials that you don't need, or just that spare 43g.
I do realise that guildhopping theives would be a problem but a time limit (like you have to have been in the guild a week/month/whatever before using Guild Storage) would help to limit that. Perhaps 'reserving' items for paticular players (Warrior A finds 35 Monstrous Fangs for Necro B and puts them into storage but only Warrior A and Necro B can take them out) would help too.

lol just like have the leader designate how much money ur allowed to withdraw and then like have him designate how long un can borrow and item like put and item time meter on items selected for *borrow*(so the when meter runs out its automatically ported to bank) and have one selected for *keep*
and the leader designates how many items u can withdraw w/in the time span of like 1-3 hours to prevent robberies

guild storage would be a very nice addition to a guild hall, and an idea of increasing its size depending on the number of guild members is good aswell. but make the guild storage quite small for 1-person guilds to discourage people from leaving theirs to create a new one just for storage.
Size upgrades should be purchasable at certain guild sizes, for example adding the feature to gh is 50k, then a 5+ person guild can pay another 50k to increase the size, then a 10+ guild, and next stops at 20+ and 40+ (just examples)

I think about the issue of restriction, I think that as long as you have a guild leader and officers you can trust (which is why you're in a guild, to have a few people you know at hand), its a good idea. If a guild member feels the bank is being abused, he/she doesn't have to contribute to it. ^.^;;

We have a Guild Storage account. Characters created simply for the purpose of holding items for other Guild Members. I do not think a communal storage is a good idea as I am sure some of the younger or newer members who are not used to how our guild functions, or someone who is kicked from the guild might abuse it.
When an oficer is playing (and we now have it that there are officers available both mornings and nights,) anyone can ask for an item or put something into storage. I, personally have a character created on my own account for the express purpose of holding items. However... even with 2 bags and a pouch as well as the Xunlai storage, room is scarce if you have several characters that you hope someday to outfit in top of the line armor, runes, weapons etc.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to equip a bag with the 10 slots, fill it then place the full bag into ONE slot in Xunlai storage? Then to access the items in the bag you merely exchange the full bag in storage with one you are carrying, long enough to get the items out that you need. For those of us who like to keep a goodly supply of salvage items as well as rare crafting items, weapons and runes, this would be heaven.

Just to expand on this idea. It would be great to have a shared guild storage with a ton of space to put things for the guild to share, especially with the new need to ‘equip’ heroes. It could also promote more active guilds where things could be ‘gifted’ to the guild members. This shared storage could have four tabs on it:
a. Open Access: Anyone can take from this tab.
b. Officer Access: Anyone can see the items here, but only an officer can take from this tab, which means a non-officer would have to ask the officer for it. Option on the item slot to grant ‘take’ access to a guild member (reward).
c. Leader Access: As Officer, but only the leader can give it out. Option on the item slot to grant ‘take’ access to a guild member or officer (reward).
d. Materials Tab (for those who have over 250 in their own.

Storage is limited to prevent characters from gathering too many gold pieces in them.
But in our guild, we have a rule about not to sell anything to other members.
One of the officials have a character only for storage.
He saves and stores green weapons, materials, runes, even gold.
Why should a player waste a character like that?
Just add a 'Representative of Xunali' NPC in the Guild Master list to buy, that would give the usual storage upgrades, in addition with the '100k' alliance storage option.
After that, you'll have spent 100k buying the NPC, and another 100k unlocking the feature, for a total of 200k.
After that, like previous said, The leader would have total access to the storage, and there would be some tabs, one for all, one for officials and leader, one for the leader, and one for materials and unlockable items.
In addition, there will be another tab, but with no storage, but a LOG with all the items put in and out by characters.
It will be just a list of names and items:
- Taruu Tara took away 23 bolts of cloth.
Moving an item from one slot to another would not be reflicted here.
Adding an stockble ittem would count as taking the original andd adding the rest. Adding 10 piles of bone to 15 piles of bone would be reflicted list this:
- Paro Maru took away 15 piles of bones.
- Paro Maru put in 25 piles of bones.
Those logs would last some hours, 24, 36, 72... and will be visible by ALL the members.

How many times have I needed extra materials? Pretty much every time I need new armor. How much extra material is lying around in all of my guildmates' personal inventories that they have no intention of using? I assume a ton, since I know that's true for me.
To those who oppose the idea:
I agree that a lot of people aren't to be trusted and that the concept could be easily exploited. My answer is: if you don't trust your guild then don't put stuff you care about in a communal storage account. Simple. Those who are foolish enough to share with strangers and end up getting robbed, tough luck.
