What we have done to get around not having a bank until we get houses is to have a guild mule. Of course that means someone has to give up one of their precious 8 slots to have some dude that stands by mailboxes and brokers and bankers in his spare time but I took that one on as I would only make a mess of anything above 4 toons. 
5. Guilds are still uber bugged. I constantly have people not being recognized when I go to invite them and others that lose tags, and others that lose the guild entirely etc.
6. Guilds, aside from raiding guilds, don't have any special goals. Yeah we can gather together, buy and build houses etc. but there are not special things like the status system from EQ2 that bound the guild together in trying to level the guild and get special guild rewards. I would love to see something similar in this game. |
Okay, the guild bank. I don't think having a house and using chests, or using up a slot for a mule is that practical. Who's going to want to be a mule and stand by mailboxes etc? besides, what if guildies want to get something from the guild bank at the times when a mule is not available stood next to the mailbox? Or if they want to add stuff, etc. I know it was done in WoW, but imo WoW had a piss poor excuse of a guild system lol.
Sure, there are some disadvantages to having a guild bank, and of course I think it would be a decent challenge for Sigil to do something here to minimise the disadvantages somehow. I just feel that there are greater benefits to having an expandable guild bank with a permission system.
Yes, I keep suffering with that bug.
Waiting for Sigil to hurry up and fix it.
Yes I think maybe something guild related would be good... I always enjoyed handing in status items and doing quests that gave status in EQ2 that contributed to the guild level. But I think Sigil need to come up with something a bit different here.
The rest of what you said, I pretty much agree.
