Guild Wars 2

So for 600 gems, roughly 11g at the moment, I can buy a 30 slot (is it 30?) bank expansion.

OR…

I can start a solo guild for free, buy 2500 influence from the Guild Promoter for 5g, and research the guild vault for 50 slots.

Granted, a guild vault disappears during character transfer. So that’s one tradeoff. But I’m curious if anyone has tried this? Any personal guild bank vaults out there?

Yes i got multi personal guild vaults.

Just because i cant buy more bank slots. (i bought them in the beginning when it was cheaper though)

A solution is just to go to WvW and use the guild bank there, then log off and back on and your back where you started.
Also keep in mind that when you ever change server your guild vaults are ni longer accesible on the new server

Is this legal? It would solve my bad storage situation but I do not want to risk ban or something.
Could some dev, please, answer me?

I tried to start a personal guild, the button is greyed out. But yes, it would be nice to know if this is something thats allowed, or needs “fixing”.

You can only have (be part of) as many guilds as you have characters 4 guilds.
so you first have to spend the gems to get a new toon before you can make more guilds. so if you dont play the alts then its not beneficial.
(according to wiki its only 4 guilds max. edited to reflect this)

so its hardly exploitable. and i wont have to do it if i could buy more bankslots. because it is a hassle but solve storage issues.

i guess they dont want our money since we can buy only 8 (i believe) bank slots

also first “stand down” from the guild your representing before you can create a new guild.

I understand your concern but there’s nothing illegal going on here. Guild creation is part of the game. And you can only create (be part of) as many guilds as you have toons. 4 guilds.
so there’s a limit. unless you buy more toons. (dont know the limit on character slots)

Okay, thank you .)

I thought the limit was 4 guilds … when did this change?

(second last comment)

Also my experience with 8 characters, I was in 4 guilds and was unable to join another guild until I dropped one.

my apologies for the confussion. i thought it was 1 guild per toon.

Then again, i dont see an exploit into this as mortifer is concerned about. they should let us buy more bank space Its the same as making extra toons with max inv slots.

I’ve always thought the gem cost for bank space (and extra bag slots since they’re not account wide) was too high. They should be about half of what they are and more people would probably buy them.

Personally, I think the guild bank limitations are sufficient. It takes a lot of influence to go beyond 50 slots (not sure how much it comes out to in gold). It’s taken my bf and I about 2 months to unlock the second tier of bank storage for our personal guild bank and that’s a fraction of what it’s going to take to unlock the last tier. “Time is money” certainly applies when it comes to unlocking guild perks with only 1-2 people gaining influence.

There would be a very big problem if the a 50% price reduction doesn’t increase sales of an item.

Upgrade  Influence    Gold     Gold/slot    Events      Logins
Stash        3000              6g           12s             150           30 days
Trove        20000           40g          40s             1000         200 days
Cave         30000           60g          60s             1500         300 days

Number of events assumes every event is done by 2 people in the same guild. For a single person guild it would take 10 times as many events.
Logins assumes 2 people with 5 characters each. It also assumes neither actually play the game. They just log into each character once per day. For a single person guild the number of days is doubled.

bought all bank tabs I could, but apparently ANet doesn’t want my money anymore, because I can’t buy any more tabs

I have my personal guild with the stash, but it’s pretty much impossible to get enough influence for the later upgrades, thanks to the current system.. guilds allow some cool stuff which is relevant to all players, not only guilds.. for example armor with an emblem of my own chosing. really nice feature – but obviously only people zerging around together deserve to use such a feature, people playing alone or with random groups are just not good enough, they don’t deserve a unique look.
