If they're going to offer guild halls there needs to be unique things about them. Maybe you can put a vault in there with a person that acts as a banker, or a dueling arena comes with them, and crafting stations, etc. If it's just going to be regular just not exactly a house we can use the houses for that (which we are) and not pay whatever extra they wanna have for it to be labeled as a guild hall.

That's guild ships cost in SWTOR and the better housing was priced about where ours is, actually more to unlock everything since all SWTOR housing and guild housing starts with a core are and takes more to unlock more areas to get to max space and allow more info the housing.
Though SWTOR has a guild ship. It also has functionality beyond a place to have crafting stations. A guild home that has no functionality is lame. Who plays the game to just sit in a house.
I like the idea of unlocks with guild size, just with a twist.
I think that guild housing should actually unlock earlier, since there is a sizeable population of 10 to 50 player guilds. So, unlock guild housing at 10 members, then have there be two or three size increments, at 50, at 150 and at 400.
In view of the player housing concept, I would suggest to open up a choice of 3 houses, styled according to the races tied to the faction of the guild, at each unlock. But don't give the houses for free.
A possible cost concept would be to pay 30'000 gold per guild member for each unlock, i.e. 300k for the 10-player, 1.5 mln for the 50-player, etc. The max. player count would be next unlock minus 20%, i.e. 10 player house could cater to up to 40 players. 50 player house to up to 120 players. The 400 player house could hold up to 600. Bear in mind that the biggest house would come in at a hefty 12 mln gold.
Due to the cost, these houses could actually offer a similar amount of customization slots, but with some restrictions. For example, only trial trophies could be placed in there, not single player or group trophies. Also, the initial unlocks would not allow placement of set crafting stations.
As an advantage over player housing, there would be access to some guild advantages. The first unlock allows the guild store in there, even though it would only provide the tabbard until the full guild trader is unlocked at 50. Then it would grant guild store access.
Upon reaching the 150 unlock, and buying the respective house, a guild banker would be in there, allowing access only to the guild bank (no player bank access).
The 400-unlock finally would allow placement of attunable crafting stations.
There are many other things that could be tied to these unlocks. This would retain a distinction to player housing while at the same time allow guild homes to have practical advantages/uses.
It would also provide a similar gold sink as player housing, which is very necessary considering the inflation that starts to develop.
That's it for now. What are your thoughts, @NewBlacksmurf ?
@kwisatzSo, small and average guilds wouldn't have any chance to have a guild hall? Even if they can perfectly pay for it? Why?
It's easily understandable why they can't have a store, but even a 10 members guild should have the right to purchase a guild hall if they have the gold -or crowns- for it.
For those who played GW 1, take a look back at the Guild Halls we had:
- we had the ability to purchase an entire island choosing it from a very big panel of biomes and themes
- then we could purchase NPCs for our guild hall: banker, vendors, etc.
- and we had a big pvp zone where we could invite other guilds to fight in
- and others features...
But even a 3 guys guild could have its guild hall.

Thats a pain point of many even considering doing that the mage guild doesn't progress its just books to have books so I understand.
I did want to clarify that this idea isn't a way to make personal houses do something else. I'm hoping to suggest this as a Guild hall and leave all the personal housing stuff over there. Especially the caps set but I do think this should align with the 100 solely due to how consoles separate every 100 in voice chat.

Totally understand about personal housing and halls being different. But in the interim I am gonna try and use the regular mansion as a guild hall hense my item cap concerns.
I totally agree Guild Halls should be different and separate from "Player Housing" and really hope Zos takes notice.
Note***... I have heard "rumors" from a few guildies that Zos is working on bringing us guild halls. Let's hope that is true.
Huzzah!!
