Starman:
I’m still waiting for your links. You may want to listen to your own advice about lying.
“always those”. You meant to type “always wanted those”, correct?
Actually, I meant opposed.
Thank you for pointing that out. I will edit the post.
If Classic is “authentic” enough, I will play on both PVE and PVP servers, just as I did in vanilla.
In terms of authenticity all we can really hope for at the end of the day is that blizzard makes the game feel vanilla like as possible in 2019.
No body has delusions that we will get a 2004-2006 experience back. But what we can hopefully get is that authentic feeling.
So for me (remember I don’t mind either way if banks make it in) positing an idea for IF guild banks are on the table for classic, that they are implemented in such a way as to feel as authentic as possible having a post 2.2 system in vanilla.
That being like I posited in my op.
Hothwompa:
My idea could potentially allow for guild banks in classic while mostly keeping, if not totally keeping the vanilla feel. The idea is for the creation of a purchasable guild rank called the ‘quartermaster’.
The quartermaster once assigned would gain access to a bank page at their personal bank similar to live guild banks but just one page. Only the quartermaster would be able to access the bank and if the quartermaster is demoted to a non quartermaster rank they lose that access and nothing is lost just awaits a new quartermaster.
Transparency comes in the form of the guild ledger that shows all transactions. Players in the guild can look at the bank page but not be able to take stuff only deposit. Or maybe not even deposit maybe all transactions must go through the quartermaster.
There could even be some kind of lock that the gm and officers have to unlock to allow the quartermaster to give certain items to a player sort of like the loot council system in that its a guild effort to divvy up certain loot.
And to make it a gold sink the rank of quartermaster and its perk of the extra bank access could cost say 2000 gold or more.
This seems similar to like how it was in vanilla. Ive read that in vanilla a guild member would basically be the quartermaster, presumably someone that the gm and officers found trustworthy.
They would handle the duties of storing and inventorying guild assets. And sometimes they would create and provide online access to a spreadsheet that allowed guildees to see what was in the guilds inventory. But again it was all trust.
