How do GUILD LODGES sound? .... i'd like to see them in eso

Hello Forums,
I'm not sure if this idea has been explored before, but if it has I commend the original gamer who came up with it. Really this post is to work out the details of the idea, and to promote the concept because I would LOVE to see this in-game.
Guild Lodges
This could exist in lieu of housing or with it, and the details are cloudy but here is the general idea:
In this game there are not a whole lot of things that a guild can offer its members, beyond a guild trader and a substitute for the grouping tool.
However if guilds had lodges or bases filled with goodies for the members ( that the guild can upgrade for a large fee ). This could set some guilds apart from the rest and promote guild unity, as well as provide a meeting place for guild events and games. It could work similarly to houses in skyrim where you can buy upgrades, and decorations.
Some of the upgrades that could be included are listed below:
Crafting Stations- This could be the best upgrade available, the guild could purchase the crafting sets (again for a large fee, the more traits required the larger the fee) that could be tabbed between for each crafting station making it a very convenient place to craft and promoting the use of the lodge.
Guild Set- Now this is a longshot... but imagine... crafting a Sword of (insert guild name here) now of course the guild would have to pay A LOT of gold for this one and could only mix and match between the existing perks of sets, EX: taking the stam boosts of one set and mixing it with reduced cost of dodge rolling with 5 pieces of the set from another set, and again this is a complicated concept and probably isn't feasible but... its a cool concept
.
Guild Decor- This one is simple, this is just allowing the guild to put up banners ( which could just be the design of the guild tabard ) on the walls.
Bank- Just the regular bank, to make things easier for the guild members - this one could be included with the original lodge but I can see it being an upgrade as well
Messages- A place it the guild for the message of the day to be posted, or maybe an area for a guild forum in-game. It would also be neat to see guild quests but again guild quests may not be possible. It would work like a special dungeon that can only be entered with other guild members and yields a nice little prize at the end Tongue.The quest could be picked up at the message board.
Bunk House- Ok this is kinda neat, Players being able to go and take a nap at the bunk house and gaining a little buff, like an aeylid well. This one could also be included or bought.... IDK.
Merchant- a regular merchant, the lvl of the items sold scales to the customer, sells regular items and repairs armor.
Fence- Just a representative from the fence, again to make things easier.
Style- Paying gold to choose the style of the guild lodge. EX: wood elf style building, or the nord ebonheart pacts nord style buildings, argonian ... you get the idea.
Players Room- This is where I could see the lodge replacing housing, now i wasn't going to include this because I feel that the guild lodge covers just about everything that the player would need from a house, but lets just do this. Players can group to enter the room together and this could just be a place to maybe display trophies and achievements maybe allow an armor stand to display your 1 favorite set of armor, a chest to access player bank, I couldn't say what else the player would need.
Courtyard- Again a far flung idea that may not be possible, a courtyard that could be beautified by the guild and possibly a garden where the guild could for a fee possibly by buying fertilizer or something, plant and grow reagents, mats, or gather bait.
Arena - Training Grounds - A small room or area where we can train for PvP raids or prove who is toughest without taking durability damage to our armor.... players could win by almost killing their opponents instead of actually killing them I personally would like to test my build against a guildmembers but can't because we are same faction
.
Now getting there is something else entirely, there are a lot of ways this could be done. Wayshrining may be the most effective way of ensuring that the guild is in no one location, allowing all members to enter even if from different alliances.Before shrining there the player would specify which guild lodge they would like to enter... much like the guild banking system.
Now I'm sure that there are many flaws in my little design here but I believe that this concept is worth exploring and that with a little elbow grease Zenimax can do it.
I really hope that someone from Zenimax reads this and brings it to the designers, I have a lot of ideas for the game but this is the one that I would like to see brought to life the most.
