Small Guilds and Bank Space

Trionus

Not sure if Zenimax/Bethesda read the forums, and not sure If there is a specific place for thoughts and vexations.

Me and 4 of my friends are in a small guild together. We love the game, the storyline... pretty much every aspect of the experience.

One thing is puzzling though... why on gods green earth would you put a restriction on guild bank space of 10 members.... you need 4 people to run a dungeon, but 10 people to have a bag in some dusty safe.. come on.

I am not expecting guild bank space for free, remove the damn member quantity restriction and then allow you to open up 60 slots for 50k Gold, and then 20k for every extra 10 - 20 slots.... I would even pay crowns to open access to the guild bank. Which surely is a win win for Zenimax/Bethesda

Some of you are asking why is this needed?

Well I, like a lot of us are quite into our crafting, but at the moment I am maxed out on clothing, blacksmith and woodworking... one of my guildies is working on his provisioning, alchemy and enchanting... yesterday I spent 30 mins manually trading at 5 items a time to give him all my stored stuff for the craft types he is focusing on...... it is mind numbing to do this. It would have taken 20 seconds to move everything to the guild bank and then get him to withdraw it to his ingredients bag.

Basically please let us small guilds buy bank space, we want no freebies... but we would like the option to unlock that..... and I cannot believe changing one line of code and putting in a similar function to buying generic inventory space would tax your coders for more than 10 minutes.

Cheers

It's probably there because single players could turn this into a second bank account.

Just make some more friends or invite random people. If they become inactive and stop playing ESO, then good, you won't have to worry about them leaving.

Honestly, 1 guy could use this way to have 500 extra bank slots. Storage will never be a problem anymore.

Well make it a requirement that the guild needs more than one member... problem solved.

Fake accounts? I think that's why 10 is the magical number. Nobody will buy 9 extra accounts just for this (and if so, then good, more money for ZoS). Although, €20 for the game, times 9 for the extra accounts = €180... Who knows, maybe someone is willing to pay that much for 500 bank slots.

After you get 10 members the guild bank will be unlocked. You can kick the straglers and continue to use the bank.

Cheers!

I'll take some of those sweet insightfuls now!

Doesn't the bank become unusable if it drops below 10 members ? Like you can still withdraw items but not deposit them anymore. That's how it used to be at least (I'll take those insightfuls now!)

Still better than going through the hassle of sending your items to a reliable friend, who will then send them back, so that they're in your mail for 30 days instead of your inventory. Because that'll costs you and your friend gold every 30 days, if forget to claim them they're gone, and both you and your friend could be wasting valuable minutes.

I would like to know if @KingYogi415 's reply is correct. Because if so, I'll be creating a guild ASAP.

So in short the guild bank system needs looked at because vexed Op only has 4 friends and if he had 5 more than wanted to play ESO this would not be a vexation.

The system does not fix your niche situation like a glove therefore it is wrong ......

This, plus 10 members is a very low threshold.

If your Guild drops below 10 members your bank become withdraw only, you can no longer deposit in it ☺

I cannot believe that the guild I am in, is the only guild with 5 members, the chances of that are very small.

Just because a minority find something vexing, does that make it any less valid???

Also what is wrong with having a small guild of friends.. should I need to invite random people into the guild, just to get a bank space to allow trade between members?

For the purposes of this thread though, the bank space is not the only way they could fix my issue, they could just as easily increase the number of items in a trade to be 20 - 50 separate stacks, that would in this instance fix my main issue, which is the inability to transfer large amounts of crafting materials from guild member to guild member in an efficient manner due to the fact the bank is locked to 10 members.

idk

Zos had multiple ways to go. They went a simple way by locking guild perks behind guild size.

They could have gone and required say a million gold to unlock 100 spaces and had it climb by those means but then some small guilds may have complained abiut the price.

ESO plus is worth it just for the craft bag. I got it for an unrelated reason, but once experiencing the craft bag I don't think I can go back.

I love being able to plunder every box, barrel and sack, and never have to worry about storage.

I'm so done trying to help people on the forums. People spew nonsense off the top of their head at any fact, whether they have tested it or not.

I think i'll stick with sarcarm and dry humor.

It is really easy to invite 10 random new players to the guild and once they stop playing you basically have a private bank with 500 spots. Stacking is annoying so I use an addon called Roomba that fixes this issue. You can't put bound things in here but mats, unbound item sets, potions, food, housing patterns, etc can all go in there. You and your friends can share stuff forever. I have a guild like this and there are 6 of us friends that play and 8 randoms that haven't played for more than a year.
