Mine has the same, but I am seeing this happen a few times, and if they do not help police and control it then they are going to encourage it.

Technically if you have access to a guild bank and take something out of it, no matter how excessively you're removing stuff from its not really stealing. As someone said before limit it to officers, or yourself and when someone needs something provide it for them.

Maybe Guilds could be allowed to put a daily limit on withdrawals?

Anonymity breeds skulduggery of the highest degree. If you leave your bank unlocked, opportunists are bound to take advantage.

It's not a crime or stealing if you give players authorization to withdraw from guild bank.

Make more ranks so you can give properties to withdraw from bank only to players who you fully trust

Guild bank theft is common among the gaming community sadly!

From a RP perspective though it could fit some roles and a twist if you think about it..

Needless to say, there are a multitude of ways Guild Banks could be improved. That said, there are bigger issues to deal with first.

No it is all or nothing...

Zeni has given the tools for GMs and officers to restrict who has access to the guild bank. They should not step in when a guild fails to use those tools.

If I give a stranger the keys to my house and tell him to help himself to anything in there, neither the police nor my insurance company will have my back when I report him for stealing.

As an officer of a guild bank I make sure not many have access.
we have lots of cool items in the bank. if ZOS put withdrawal limits on the items they had better start stacking the items. Every Monday I have to pull the stuff out of the guild bank put it in my inventory stack it and put it back. I've been doing this for months now. I don't like doing it, it's a pain, but someone has too.
Putting on limits - without stacking items would suck. I am sure I am not the only officer doing this job in all of eso. By all means limit it, but fix the stacking before you do. Also due to theft we only have trusted people with access but if someone messages for potions, food, crafting mats we do use the bank to store items so have stuff we can send to people who need it.

Thankfully this hasn't happened to my Guild I was commenting on a post on a fb site where some Idiot joined then clea ned out the Guild, claimed he had done it to three other Guilds and this was just the start.
For some people this may be their first mmo and they still trust other player's.

Ah, Guild Banks ... Always desire of members to put items in, but either lock them out fully or call them thieves for taking items out. I'm guessing that the OP has told his members that they're not allowed to take out, or perhaps that they're limited to what can be taken out, or even that they're not allow to take anything out? So many times have I seen guild rules giving members a clear path to put in and take out what they desire only to bring wrath against them for taking out too much or that very special item.

If the Guild Member take out beyond what your rules allow than simply warn them and kick them out on the second offence. I do no support anyone being banned from the game for taking out bank items that they're not allowed. Such small and petty things to be upset about. In the end the pain and suffering is your own because you made it your own through anger.

However, you can't call someone a thief for removing items that they're allowed to because either the rules support it or they're no rules! Most of the time I see these issues come up it's always the fault of the Guild Leader for not setting up propper rules and settings.

Good day, OP, I hope all goes well for you in the future.

This is something that guilds need to control and be proactive about on their own. The tools are in place to avoid this happening from level limits, to actually having someone that is in charge of handing out things when needed.

Well there's an ESO fail right there. Banks should have categories or pages with individual permissions for each rank of guild member. Did they not look at other MMOs at all before making this?
