Yet another guild bank post

For those seriously still arguing like guild banks will do little to change the game. . .

But as for changes?

The demand for bags. This will alter the ability to gain gold as a tailor.

The demand for cloth. This will alter the ability to gain gold from AH’ing cloth.

Alteration of guild management. This will alter how many guilds will manage their goods. Players will be ranked to specifically deal with bank tasks etc.

Increased guild creation. This will increase the numbers of guilds created as there will be guilds made solely for storing items.

Altered guild UI. No details needed really.

Altered bank areas to have the guild banks obviously.

Increasing the demand to be in major cities to use the guild bank.

Decreases the value set on having good bag space. You will be able to just packrat stuff on a single character with a large guild bank.

This adds another gold sink.

It also adds incentive to keep an old guild rather than just let it die and have its name open up down the line.

Reduces the number of characters needed to manage items being kept over time.

By reducing the trades and mail sent between players for their upcoming raids it also slightly streamlines a bit of the player interaction.

These were the changes I could think of off the top of my head. Are they all of them? I do not believe so.

And let’s be honest here. In the end this is a recreation of Vanilla WoW as Classic. It is not a complete recreation yes, but it is done in the concept of recreating it as it should be remembered. This did not exist in Vanilla nor should it in Classic.

I am not crazy, I will not directly state that “adding guild banks would kill classic!” but I do not believe there is a need nor an outstanding want for such a thing. Do I believe that as a change it is one of the lesser affecting ones made over time? Yes. Do I enjoy the concept of the guild bank? Yes I love it actually. But I do not believe it belongs in Classic as it was not part of the Vanilla experience. Something I am looking for them to help recreate.

Adding this to note.
Arguing for the allowance of these changes for what? The same thing that many people argue is already done mostly through the use of bank alts and bag management? So then what does this change really do? Is it just making things easier at the cost of all of these changes? If so is that not solely anti-Vanilla in the aspect that making things easier is what got us to where we are? If so then does that not exactly fold into what they said? That if you want these quality of life changes and balances used to alter the game that they already have that in current.
