Do you use a private guild bank?

coop500

Just curious, who here uses a private guild bank? basically a guild bank all to yourself to store stuff in, usually the 10 member requirement is reached by making more accounts during free play or inviting people that later quit the game.

Lyserus

Yes I do

Yup got a personal guild bank...
Tho honestly not that good tho, you can't put bound items, and have to take out mat everytime you need them

Saves shinies if you don't sub tho

Fischblut

No I don't

I had few times when I put item into guild bank but it disappears during the transition (disappears from inventory, never appears in bank and in deposit history). Luckily all those items were not very valuable things, not even worth submitting a ticket. But knowing there's risk of losing item like that...

Turelus

No I don't

Private no, but I have one for a guild of <15 people of which only four of us are really active.

We basically use this as a friends bank full of recipes, motifs and unbound gear sets.

lardvader

Yes I do

Currently yes because most of the people in our close friends guild left to play other stuff.

Got one bank just full of gear to sell.

elantaura

I do but it's because I've been playing since console release and it was started between friends, I'm the only one left. If ZOS could promote me I'd do something with the guild as I was 2ic but as it stands I'm the last of 42 I played with.

No I don't

This contributes to the reason why ZOS wouldn't t add storage for houses. People are able to create alts and create guilds just for inventory and bank space. I know we can't stop people from doing this, but the people who do this are one of the reasons why we won't get storage (in my opinion). This isn't a dig at those players, I just think it is important to highlight our actions too.

ZOS created this behavior in the first place. We were starved for inventory space (remember, it was before the crafting bag was added), so almost everyone had mules and many created private guild banks. Even now we're still starved unless we subscribe. We just do what we have to do to deal with an inventory system fundamentally incompatible with other game systems such as crafting.

Milvan

Yes I do

Yes, I use it mostly for intricate itens, recipes, motifs and glyphs. I'm the only one remaning from my main guild that I created on day 1 of the server.

It's pretty useful actually.

You have to buy extra licenses to do what you describe don't you? All my "alts" are members of the same guilds as my "mains".

Really don't think this is the reason for ZoS not to give us extra storage in the houses.

FrancisCrawford

Yep. I was in a guild that went defunct. The guildmaster turned it over to me and now I have a private bank.

They didn't give us much of a choice TBH, I paid $60 bucks for the game and DLCs so I'm no freeloader, spent plenty more on new DLCs and Morrowind, character slots, two months of ESO+ and a few crwon crates, they have enough of my money so yeah, I'd like to still be able to play the game I paid for and keep what I got.

If they HAD house storage, we wouldn't do this, trust me having a private guild bank is a pain in the [snip] because you can't stack stuff, so you have to go through every time and remove dupes to stack them in your backpack then there's the annoying message of 'please wait while we process your previous request' It's not easy but it's all I can do or actually BE a freeloader and expect everyone to craft stuff for me, which I just don't want to if I can myself.

Yeah using a private guild bank is not easy, it has a large chore of it's own, but it's all we can do if we don't want to/can't sub.

ereboz

No I don't

I have eso plus, so the craft bag helps a lot. And my bank space is over 300 so I don't really have a problem with inventory

Akrasjel

Yes I do

Noticed it just at the beginning when i started.

SisterGoat

No I don't

I'm in a guild with 10 people but only half of us log on regularly, despite the bank being open to all. (shrug)

Send a ticket to support. I've had something similar happen and they promoted the most active eligible member to guild leader. Just explain that the guild leader has been inactive for X months.

CloneTrooper699

Yes I do

Yep, me and my girlfriend have one for the two of us that we store all our Motif, recipe and furniture plan duplicates in.

Zorvan

No I don't

No, because I'm not a console scrub so I can't make tons of free alt accounts and I'll be damned if I pay for 10 accounts on PC just to have a bank.

TheShadowScout

I have one guild made for "circle of friends", but since I have no friends... its kinda more or less dead. And never reached the 10 members needed, not in the least because I did not make throwaway accounts just to fill the ranks, so the question does not really concern me.

But...
...if they added a crown store unlock to open the guild bank despite not having ten members, I totally would store stuff in there - but not for my private use, it would be stuff to support hypothetical future guildmembers in case I do get some friends in game who want to join... so they can grab sets I wouldn't need for my various alts and gear up, get recipes, and stuff like that...

Emma_Overload

Yes I do

So I actually went to the trouble (and expense) to do this, and guess what? IT SUCKS!

You can't put hardly ANYTHING into a guild bank! None of my extra gear will go into it, which was the whole reason I needed the 500 extra slots. I'm so angry!

When is ZOS going to do something for players who need more storage? All this dumb stuff in the Crown Store, but nothing that's actually useful...

bellatrixed

Yes I do

Not a private guild bank technically; my guild is active but I pretty much use it as my personal storage for stuff I don't care if other people happen to nab. For instance, tossing all the 160 gear in there I loot so I can use it to level my crafting on alts. It's a massive space saver and I actually don't know what I'd do without that convenience.

Ohtimbar

Other (Beause I don't want to hear it.)

No need. I have three accounts.

mystfit

Other (Beause I don't want to hear it.)

I would if I could But, asking 9 other people to join a guild I'd have no intentions of being a functional guild of any kind seems....selfish. But, I'd love one
I tried to get my kids (who have accounts but don't play) to log in fast enough to join, GET MOM A GUILD BANK FOR CHRISTMAS I said, snicker

Osteos

Yes I do

Like others im the last friend standing in a guild made around release. Now its my private bank and a little sentimental. The storage is nice but I would rather have the people back.

You don't have to have a bunch of accounts, I don't

Yeah I put my crafting mats in there to free up space in your own bank

That's the only silver lining....if I ever stop paying for ESO+, at least I'll have a place to put my mats.

You seem a bit salty. You want a cool refreshing drink of Haterade?

Not everyone that has a personal Guild Bank is gaming the system. I had a bunch of friends that I played FPSes with give this game a try back in 2015. Most of them lasted about a month with all of them being gone completely 3 months in. I was left as the second in command of the Guild. I eventually convinced the leader of the guild to log in and hand over the reigns. The guild is now dead, with only myself being active. I could easily disband it but I have a lot of things dumped into that guild bank and no where to put it.
