The Lords of Nordrassil

Gold withdrawals and repairs from the guild bank have now been closed following discussions at the guild meetup earlier this month. I’d close it to gold deposits too, but there’s no way of preventing that, so for now, I just have to ask people not to deposit gold.

The thinking behind this is that deposits and withdrawals can be very unclear in terms of who benefits. One person can deposit nothing and then repair on behalf of the guild bank, and another might deposit large amounts of gold and take no benefit from it. Seems like a fairly strange state of affairs, so I’m proposing a moratorium on using the guild bank for gold unless someone can think of a more equal way of spreading gold deposited to repairs / gold withdrawn.

If not, then we’ve got a lot of gold in the bank with nothing to do with it. I propose waiting to Cataclysm, to see if any of the guild advancement features need gold to fund them. If they do, then we’ll have a handy nest egg to get started from. If they don’t, then we can buy a couple more bank tabs, and use the bank purely for items.

Any ideas, comments or other discussion, please contribute at the thread on the forum.
