The leader, having full control over the guild bank, is just like the owner in a company. Well, at least as much as anything in a virtual world can be "owned". Of course, there are differences, mostly because a real company has to be regulated, but in general I think the comparison holds pretty well.Talhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663458153692598379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-63603796407787882642008-11-11T18:20:00.000+01:002008-11-11T18:20:00.000+01:00@tal: companies have an owner (or several stockhol...@tal: companies have an owner (or several stockholders). What the company "own", actually the owners do.<BR/><BR/>@larísa: You are completely right, but this is exactly the "us" feeling that finally cause the stuff wasted. Removing it from the "common bank" and give it to an individual feels wrong, so it stays in the bank until become obsolate and useless.Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-6436126199610161302008-11-11T14:54:00.000+01:002008-11-11T14:54:00.000+01:00Just for the record i dislike guild banks i dont p...Just for the record i dislike guild banks i dont put much in and dont expect nothing out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-6344806811081059572008-11-11T11:34:00.000+01:002008-11-11T11:34:00.000+01:00Even though there may be logical reasons that spea...Even though there may be logical reasons that speaks against a guild bank I can't help thinking that it's got a sort of symbolic value. It contributes to the feeling that you're a part of a guild working together towards a common goal, not only a hired legionary (the goblin method, which have it's advantages, admittidly). Of course it doesn't build community feeling in its own, it's just a small part. Other things are more important, such as a guild forum, vent, a lively guild chat, communications over all. But still it's got a function, in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>At the same time it MAY mess up things a bit. How do you keep track that you donate about as much as you pick out? Especially when AH prices are fluctuating. It can make life a bit complicated if you compare it to be independent, minding your own business.Larísahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-74714308102541915472008-11-11T09:18:00.000+01:002008-11-11T09:18:00.000+01:00While a guild may not have a "will", why can't it ...While a guild may not have a "will", why can't it own things? How is it different than a company? The CEO has a will, as do the officers and board members, but the company does not. But the company CAN and does own things.Talhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663458153692598379noreply@blogger.com
