Guild Bank and clearing out the junk...

Looking at the guild roster...we are all up there in levels now and if someone is on (very low level) it's more than likely an alt.

If I may suggest: set a deposit level limit of say 60+ and sell off any items that haven't been withdrawn and deposit the $ back to the guild bank...

I hate having to withdraw a junk-item just to free up a spot to put something more valuable there. :side:

I plan to discuss the guild banks with my majors/commanders this weekend.

I did some organising just this morning to free up a little room but if you must take something out then depositing the money back into the bank is a must (it's wrong to profit directly from peoples donations).

I don't like the idea of excluding low-level items simply because we aren't all high level and any new members joining should be able to at least have a chance of acquiring something useful from our bank.

But like I say, we'll be discussing this over the weekend will post up a out-line banking procedure.

hi, since y'all mentioned this, I haven't taken a single thing from the guild banks because, I don't know, guilt or something (like i shouldn't be taking stuff, yeah I have issues).

Anyway, I'm not really sure what the general criteria is for what we can/should/etc take. I didn't see any guidelines in the member handbook, only a warning not to overdue it, etc. Some clarity in this would be appreciated. :)

apologies if I missed something in the membership guide...

I feel uneasy too, about taking things out. I've taken out a few dyes and a helmet. Each time i put something back in (a green i got from the mystic forge, a few weapons i crafted). The things i put in, are still there. I guess, if we can use something, we should take it and put something else in. We probably need some rules too: no blues, no looted greens, ...

actually that is a good point also, I hesitate to put stuff IN the bank because I don't want to put stuff that will just clutter and I don't know what good stuff to put is. My highest level toon is 31, so I haven't gotten much great stuff...

Most certainly...agreed!

I only took out a small stack of food (that I actually will use) and that freed up a spot...the other low-level stuff I mentioned I didn't touch and just saved my upcoming deposits, which is why I came on here and posted this.

You may want to rethink this Halish....there is an abundance of low level stuff that is already available by just leveling. This game is not made the same way as other games where your main has to support or feed your alts, alts can very easily get there own stuff. Heck, most people picked up what they wanted or needed from guild-chat-give-aways. Guild-chat-give-aways: filled an immediate need for the person who spoke up and said I need or could use it and then it was mailed...all the give-aways I've seen in guild chat is impressive...no stingy people here, the abundance and generosity of free stuff in guild chat...almost makes the guild bank obsolete.

:) Please don't lock down the vast majority of the bank space to accommodate the rare low level need, when at word-one anyone of us would help them with equipment donations anyway.

Just a thought. :)

I'm also happy to use my higher-level crafting capabilities to craft the best level appropriate stuff I can for other guildies, which doesn't take up any bank space at all and since mats are shared on an account I almost always have a usable amount in my own bank anyway.

I have posted up some guidelines for using the guild banks: Check it out!
