Guild Wars 2

One of the most costly things in this game deals with WvW and doing keep upgrades and buying siege (if you are out of Badges of Honor). To upgrade a keep from base to max it is over 6 gold of which can be taken in a matter of minutes. This is so costly that many guilds do no even pay for the upgrades just out of fear for losing all that they poured into it which could be very bad for the server.

One idea that me and some friends came up with is to have a system that the money loot that guildies gain from drops add +10% of the money to their loot and that is taken and automatically deposited into the guild treasure trove. So the guildies will still be gaining 100% of money drops but the extra 10% is directly and automatically deposited into the guild treasure trove. This could be applied only through an influence guild buff. The influence buff could cost 2,000 – 5,000 influence, take a week to build the buff and only be active for 24 hours. This would not affect the economy nor WvW in a negative light due to the fact that we already have +10% magic find that last 3 days which helps increase profits of individual guildies. With requiring high amounts of influence or long build ques it takes away from some of the guilds Fort buffs. It creates an even better balance between having it focused on the guilds to upgrade keeps and help with siege to better the server.

Any thoughts, ideas, or alterations are greatly appreciated. I hope everyone stays on topic and please no trolling.

This sounds like a great idea. i hope this gets implemented. like a government tax. 10% to help keep things growing.

Warhammer online had this type of system, even though it actually took a percentage of your earned monster coin drop instead of coming out of thin air. It worked rather well, and the guild could set the particular tax rate to what they saw fit (within expectations).

if anet would do it even from the full monster coin drop then guildies get 90% and the 10% goes to the treasure trove that would be great as well.
Good Suggestion!

I think even 5% could work doesn’t have to be as high as 10%

I think this should be an inherent tax on the guild. But it should work both ways. And be optional.

If a guild member reps a guild, he can choose to pay a tax. And when he pays the tax, he should get some sort of reward or buff or something like IRL.

Yeah i completely agree, first it would only be a temporary buff say 24 hours, or even just 5 hours for when the wvw events are going and if you didn’t want to participate in it you always have the option to not represent the guild.

I defiantly like the idea of a guild buff that would increase gold drops and that the increased amount would be sent to the guild banks.
Maybe call the buff “For the guild!!”
