Making a Guild into a company (thoughts)
How are your thoughts on turning your guild into a huge Guild Wars 2 company.
I was thinking that maybe my friends and I can make a guild then some will farm some will gather some will craft, then we sell all those. Profits will then be 60% of the profits will be divided equally then 30% goes to saving.
no, it would fail because 10% magically disappeared. 60% + 30% = 90%. You sure, you wanna start a “company”?
It’s not going to work. It’s easy to do all those things on your own.

There is no way to audit what people are doing or how much they contribute or share so your idea will create and incentive to share work and loss, but hold back on lucky drops or windfall profits.

He meant dividing the profits equally.
Nice idea but I would say this can only work with people you really know. Plus there is not much incentive here, everyone can learn every craft and pretty much every recipe and very much farm everything equally.
“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
It’s an incomplete idea, but it’s an interesting idea. I think the only way this could work is if the primary purpose of the guild was to acquire and pool information, and then put it to use. Each person in the guild would spend part of their time studying the price structure to find the largest profit opportunities. (I sincerely doubt crafting would ever serve as a profit opportunity.)
Each person would be responsible for knowing a particular area of the market, or the hunting and gathering opportunities in a particular region. Together, they would figure out what activity is the single most profitable activity in the game, and then dedicate themselves to that particular activity for a time. They would continue to monitor their areas of the market (with the huntmasters responsible for monitoring changes to things like spawn rates, drop rates, and so on), an periodically check to see if changing prices have opened up new or closed old opportunities.
Personally, I have a hard time seeing it work, but that’s just because I default to solo play. I would have a hard time trusting my fellow guildmembers to get it right.
