I have recently made an alliance toon after 15 years of playing horde. Over the years I have been in several horde guilds and have always found the guild bank to be what it says, a guild bank for all to use and enjoy. I joined a very nice alliance guild and was very surprised to find that I was expected to create my own guild bank by going through the motions of making my own guild eg getting signatures’ etc. There was no access to the GB. Presumably this is expected by all guild members. Is this normal for Alliance guilds? Needless to say, I left the guild and went back to my Horde toons despite enjoying the challenge of alliance.

It has been my experience, that with very few exceptions, most guild banks that are shared among all members are complete junk.
When I ran dungeon leveling guilds during WoW Classic and TBC Classic, I would prune the shared tabs of absolute trash everyday, often multiple times, and ensure that it had useful items like traveler’s backpacks and guild tabards, which leveling toons may appreciate.
Of course, raiding guilds often have tabs for raid consumables or enchanting materials that are accessible for appropriate roles with typically channels set up for requesting things.
I’m surprised that you have been playing for 15 years and generally find guildbanks generally useful and that you’d make the assumption that the one alliance guild you joined was somehow an Alliance way of doing guild banks.
For the most part, I think you’ll find that Alliance and Horde are the same.
How sad, the guilds I have been in have shared items and have used them as I’m sure Blizzard designed them to be…until I hit the alliance. However, if this is the norm for GB’s. What a shame!
I mean, one man’s junk… right?
If you find the items useful, then good for you! Try out some other alliance guilds and I’m pretty confident you’ll find their gbanks to be roughly the same as Horde.
Oh. Btw, I was asking if this was normal, not making an assumption…is it?
In my experience, there is no difference in the quality or style of use cases for guild banks between Horde and Alliance.

So it is normal for the GB to be locked and members to be asked to make a bank toon and get people to sign so they have enough signatures to make their own GB? Not seen it before!!
I’ve never joined a guild that has asked its members to make their own guilds.
Of course there are always going to be exceptions, but there is no difference between what is normal for Horde and Alliance with regards to guilds and guild banks.
Thankyou. I thought it was me. I hoped it was not an Alliance/Horde thing and I’m glad it isn’t

Because WoW is just other people, something that I’ve found is that you sometimes need to look around a bit, but you can always find groups of people where you feel you fit in.
I’ve also mostly played Horde, but I did spend about half of my WoW Classic time as Alliance, and of course the races are different, and there are some behavioral things I noticed (though, it’s difficult to tell if that’s real, anecdotal, or my own biases), but for the most part, there’s not much difference.

Did you join more than one Alliance guild and have the same thing happen?
If you only had this experience with one guild then it’s a massive leap to assume it’s an Alliance thing and not that one guild.
I’m just glad to know that this is not normal behavior and I wasn’t wrong to leave the guild
At the end of the day the access config of the guild bank is in the hands of the Guild Master.
Only one, but I haven’t been able to join another guild. I wonder why ppl think it’s easy to join a guild. you have to be invited and despite all efforts it doesn’t appear to happen. No matter, I’m actually happier on my own.
