They used to have this, but a Duplicating bug occured and it pretty much wrecked the economy for a short period of time.

There is a client side PC addon that does this. But it just automates the operation of withdrawing, stacking and depositing again.

That's sad

yeah.... but can we at least stack the rune-boxes please?

I'm in one EU guild where everyone has withdraw permission. I know that can be asking for an unscrupulous player to come along and clean out the bank-- that happened in one of the NA guilds I'm in-- but it's great as long as everyone plays nice.

Anyway, before I deposit anything (usually recipes, blueprints, etc.), I check to see if it's already in there. If it is, I withdraw it, stack my items, then deposit it. And if I see any unstacked items, I withdraw them, stack them, and deposit them.

It's a right royal pain in the posterior, but it seems like the only way to keep unstacked items to a minimum is to let the guild members stack items as they deposit them-- and pray that everyone is honest and trustworthy.

Waiting on previous request drives me berzerk.

Same. This process is very aggravating and really user unfriendly.

I can understand that it will occur, but I think it would be less aggravating if a message were displayed to let you know the previous request had finally been processed. Instead, you usually have sit there trying again and getting the message again until you finally don't get the message again.

Well, I hate people who take the whole stack and "dont know how" or "forgot" to put it back.
Can I have "Withdraw 1 from stack" option instead of having to take the whole pile?

I'm sure it could be re-implemented the way the add-on does it. Pull the individual items, combine in player inventory and replace as single stack. It would require withdrawing privilege that way, but just giving the re-stacker some automation on console platforms would be appreciated, wouldn't it?

Right? This might be a good workaround. Alternatively maybe they could disable the function to stack items yourself but let the GB stack items automatically? I don't know. But attention should be paid to this feature.

As a guild officer who looks after the guild bank, I get frustrated at the general lack of features of guild bank. Addons alleviate somewhat the stacking problem, but it's not where it should be for a 5 year old AAA MMO.

I put the following wishlist together a while ago, and some of these points have been mentioned in this thread already. But here it is if anyone wants to pick it apart or add to it:

Daily item withdrawal/deposit limits
Allow guildmasters/officers (or add a rank privilege) to set the maximum amount of items a guild member may withdraw/deposit in a set time period. This is primarily to prevent malicious players from emptying the guild bank, but also to keep bank management easy for guildmasters/officers. Stacked non-material items should be treated as multiple transactions, to avoid a whole stack being taken. The time period could also be configurable, with options such as 1 hour, 6 hours, 12, 24 etc.
This limit shouldn't apply to those who have the ability to set the limit (i.e., guildmasters, officers).

Control over deposit-able items
Despite adding notes in the message of the day, we often see lots of "junk" being added to the bank that we'd rather not have deposited. Being able to control the types of item that is deposited would be a great improvement and reduce the amount of tidying required.
Guildmasters should be in control over this config, but a rank privilege would be welcome here as well.

Single item withdrawals
This pertains to stacked items. We see cases where a guild member has taken a stack of recipes but didn't return the rest of the stack after using one. Allowing items to be fetched one at a time, stack splitting (as in personal guild banks and inventories), or a dialog to ask the player how many they want to take would be a welcome improvement.

Item stacking
We use an addon to mitigate this problem on PC, but it would be great if we could have in the base game a "Stack All Items" option like we do in our own personal banks and inventories. This would make life much easier for guildmasters on console who do not have access to addons.

"Waiting on previous request."
This is an annoyance when doing item maintenance, particularly because we have to remove, stack, and re-add items to the bank (the above suggestion would mitigate this somewhat). I'm guessing the guild bank game system is different to the personal player bank, but whatever the reason, we'd appreciate some insight into why this is the way it is and if anything can be done to improve it.
