Any comments/concerns about this layout? If you have a better idea for rank names, as well, go ahead and let me know.

EDIT: I'll edit a bank guideline into this post, and move all of this there as well whenever I can. As of now, I'm waiting for my brother to hop off so he doesn't comment on the mass promotions that'll be flying out.

EDIT 2:
VAST PORKHOLLOW OF NUMEROUS TREASURES(or "Guild Bank", to the simple folk)

hide spoiler

In the event that a tab gets too cluttered, I will sell off the lower-end of the goods(such as low-level arms and armor, extremely common materials such as Linen, and low-level potions) and those funds will be deposited into the guild bank.

Tab 1: Seer General
This tab holds all manner of items. Use this to store old-world trade goods and recipes, and other general goods such as low-level potions and elixirs.

Tab 2: Witch General
Much like Seer General, this tab is intended to hold various goods. However, unlike Seer General, this tab is meant to hold goods of higher quality. Items in the Outlands/Northrend/Cataclysm range go in here.

Tab 3: Knight Armory
This tab stores low-end arms and armor for fledgling members and would-be enchanters. Enchanters, please be considerate when taking goods for disenchanting purposes, and do not take Blue items for disenchanting purposes before checking the Auction House, as old-world shards sometimes go for very cheap.

Tab 4: Heir Armory
This tab is for equipment in the 70-85 range. The same enchanting rules apply to this tab.

Tab 5: SkaiaNet
This tab is quite exclusive. Think of it as the guild's "treasury", housing most valuable items and materials. Or it will be, at least, once I have ample time for farming.

[Gumba Masta]

Is this on the US servers?

[Wesley Foxx]

But of course.

[Phantos]

I am an economic whore and bought myself the celestial steed. :< ...

You deserve a slap on the face for that! Or a slap on the ass, whichever.

I've got... a lot of characters. Level 85 Rogue, Mage, Warlock; A Warrior, Priest, Shaman, and Hunter all between the levels of 60 and 70... I never got into Paladins or Deathknights, though. I basically hit outland and stop entirely because hellfire pen. is garbage. Though I discovered you can gain some good exp by just doing BGs (plus the 60 honor set looks neat) up until maybe Nagrand, at which point outland becomes a little less worse in my eyes.

[Mirdini]

Nagrand is truly the only zone I can tolerate leveling through in Outland these days.
Still with the advent of heirloom cloaks at least the levels whisk by farther than ever (not that I'd know as I've taken a voluntary hiatus from WoW for the past 2 weeks).

[PepperYena]

I hate mage's squishyness.

I had to skip Anzu in heroic Sethekk Halls cause he was too hard. You might be wondering how the hell I managed to do heroic blood furnace.

It's called crowd control.

FUCK YEAH RING OF FROST

[Green Torso]

Am I late to the Altoholics gathering?

Character Name - Gender Race Main Spec/Off Spec Class

Skelekal - (First Character Ever) Male Forsaken Affliction/Demonology Warlock

I am also an achievement fanatic on my main. Can't get any sadder than this. :<
Oh, I've also been playing since... I don't exactly now, but I'm pretty sure it was near the patch that included Dire Maul... Maybe 1.3.0.

EDIT: Oh snap my guild tracked me down from this post! Silly bored people putting random stuff into google!

[Dais]

Sooo... how serious/casual is this guild? I'm leveling an obligatory goblin alt on Deathwing with a friend. We're going slow because schools are schools, but if I could still get a guild invite thrown my way that'd be fantastic.
In the meantime I should learn how to play a warlock.

And... and... that's a lot of female trolls.

Very much casual as of now. I've been meaning to get a good deal done to benefit the guild lately but my brother/his fiance are never online when I'm willing to do dungeons(that, and they spend most of their time running around the city instead of doing dailies/dungeons and the like), so there hasn't been much exp going to the guild. Kind of annoys me that we're still only level 3. /sigh
At least Sunslammer's almost 85, so there's at least another person contributing a chunk of exp.

It also doesn't help that I recently started a new savefile on Minecraft. God damn it, Minecraft.

I'll invite you, sure, just hope you don't mind the lack of benefits until I pull myself away from the mines long enough to grind heroics, hopefully with other members.

[Dais]

Well, I won't mind the lack of benefits because I've never been in a guild before, so.... yeah...
And if Minecraft didn't lag like crazy for me I might not even be asking to join, but that's another topic.
Anyway, the Goblin's name is Trasettel. Attempted to come up with a goblin-y sounding name. Success is elusive.

[Bwg]

I'll invite you when I get back online.

[Reako]

Probably won't be around much for the next week or two til work calms down a bit. I haven't even had time for my main back on Khadgar. Sometimes being an adult really sucks.

[Bwg]

Out of curiosity, who is this Aradia that joined?

I'll probably send them their guild care package tomorrow, I don't feel like getting cloth tonight.

[Tezrial]

Do any of you play Druids? Do you hate that they removed treeform?

Support my cause! Bring back Tree of Life!

I don't see a single reason why Blizzard can't give use a cosmetic only, non-gameplay-affecting treeform. Removing it entirely was the most pointless change, and it seriously makes me want to play my Druid less.

[NotClever]

Oh man, they finally got rid of it? I guess it makes sense as they pretty much took it to the point that it wasn't even a choice to be in it.

I always had a love-hate relationship with my druid because forms were simultaneously really cool and unique to the class, but they also made your gear acquisitions somewhat boring as your look never changed.

That's why I want it to be an optional perk for those of use who liked it and miss it. Those that like to look at their armor can continue looking at their armor if they so choose.

[NotClever]

Well, good luck . People have been arguing about druid form aesthetics since the first day of the game and as far as I can remember they've never actually made an aesthetic change. They did get close with the idea of having minor glyphs to put new skins on forms, though, so maybe they're open to the idea.

That reminds me that I've got a friend who has like 3 max level druids on different servers and still is upset that they chose not to implement the ability to shift into critter forms for fun or ambush. He's kinda crotchety, though, and gets upset any time they change anything. I think he's upset that druids aren't underpowered in all respects because he felt better playing an underpowered class.

[Mirdini]

Tezrial, there's a minor glyph of treeform that will return your tree to its own glory.
Sure it costs a bit of gold but it's not *that* much of a pain to buy.

e: Unless you mean perma-treeform in which case eh doubt Blizz is going to change it now :/

[Tezrial]

Well, I'm not asking them to do anything that they haven't done before. The whole point of druids is to change forms, and the fact that they gave us a form in TBC, then replaced it with a cooldown two expansions later is just incredibly disappointing. And yeah, Blizzard definitely won't change it if half the people in the topic keep on with "I don't like treeform so noone should have it."

I'm well aware of the glyph. It was a cheap attempt to placate the people who actually liked the old tree of life. I don't have it not because of a gold issue, but because I haven't healed (on my druid) since the expansion came out. I've barely even played my Druid to be honest, as no tree form has literally made me enjoy the class less. Call me silly, or whatever you want to call me.

It's just disturbing how many negative responses I've received so far in the thread when my proposal is a completely optional, aesthetic, non game-changing feature. I know the community isn't anything amazing, but c'mon. That's just selfishness for the sake of being selfish.

[Bwg]

My bro was totally a bro today(if that even makes sense). Told me he saw Terrorpane spawn while he was fishing around.



Fun story comes with this one. My brother got whispered by another hunter a few minutes after I snagged him, and boy was he pissed. The guy was apparently camping the spawn point all day, and went to the bathroom just before he spawned.

So I guess you could say...



...tough shit.

[Green Torso]

and as far as I can remember they've never actually made an aesthetic change

Did you like, miss the complete reskin they did to both Tauren and Night Elf cat and bear forms less than a year ago?

[Tezrial]

[PepperYena]

Ok BWG I respect you less

Or wait no nvm

[Bwg]

In my defense, the guy was AFK, and we didn't even know anyone else was around until after the fact. Not much I can do about that.

Oh, and the guild is like 50k exp from leveling up. I can't find any more dailies to complete that'd actually matter, so looks like it waits until tomorrow.

-Being a Coolkid: I'm not entirely sure how I'll handle this goal. I may promote you if you do a good job helping other members, or if you contribute goods to the guild bank. Thing is, I currently don't have an idea of how much of someone being good would merit this, as I don't want to simply give the rank away, but I also get the feeling that some would feel the favoritism card being played if I don't see everything everyone does. Maybe I'll leave it to the guild to elect a member for this, and we review what they've done and go from there.

So. News on this. Finally got around to creating a system that will HOPEFULLY let me keep track of guild contributions, and make it easier to determine when someone should be nominated for this bonus promotion. Still ironing things out, but I'm now going to keep track of gold people put in the bank as well as items. I'll post the basic template once I've got this finalized.

Bad news though is that this only starts with recent activity, as I couldn't look too far back.

Given the fact that this is essentially a 'points' system, I'm considering adding bonuses (gold, random goods, like maybe class food or gems or something I don't know) for certain milestones. Not sure how that'd turn out, though, and hopefully everyone would see the rewards as bonuses and not as something they don't have to go out of their way for. The points are mainly for personal record, though, and given the bank's limit on keeping track of item deposits and cash deposits(especially with guild repairs), it'll at least help me keep tabs on everything much better. I just really fucking hope that the Cash Flow perk doesn't spam the gold bank with "[X] has deposited 1 silver, 21 copper (Cash Flow)"

Don't go crazy about anything until I've got things pretty much ready, since this is all subject to change.
