Guild Wars 2

So, I’ve been reading around and checking out various upgrades and whatnot, and I’ve come to realize that a personal bank (although one is accessible through the scribe station), Trading Post, and other crafting stations will never be available in the guild hall. The reason why is simple: Halls shouldn’t make cities obsolete. Which is a completely valid reason to not add these things to the guild hall.

However, I’m not entirely sure this is working as they thought out.

As it stands, halls, scribing, and everything guild related thereof is earning anet and it’s developers a lot of (quite frankly unnecessary) hate. If either for the insane costs, the sometimes ridiculously unnecessary time gates, or for the annoying lack of convenience that are present.

Henceforth, I want to make this thread to add suggestions of things that could make (not break) the halls, and make us want to use them more actively.

• Please, add a trading post, a bank, and some workstations. I know you’re afraid it will ruin your new, shiny, pretty LA, but seriously. We all want this. Not having it in my guild hall is making me hate being there. And every single time I have to pointlessly go to LA just to pick up some minor stuff is making me hate LA too, if only by association. I rather spend my days in Orr. Which I hate, because it’s gray and dull. Also, seriously, there is already a bank there, why not just add a banking npc?

• At the moment, every guild that wants to progress it’s hall is starting out kittened. All good content with the guild hall requires scribing, and scribing is simply too expensive to level for 99% of the playerbase. In order to make it, you need to have a single scribe backed by a fully supporting guild. Tough luck if that player turns out an kitten and leaves. A fully leveled scribe, my god, some guilds would pay thousands for that. I think either you need to rework the entire scribe system, or make decorations easier to get.

• Also, the whole place seems dead. Add some npc’s walking around, some purchasable guards, SOMETHING. ANYTHING. Birds, bees, whatever.

Also, I’m aware there’s several posts like this, I just want to keep nagging.

Yea, I gotta agree. I want to have more of a reason to hang around.

I would really like all of the above mentioned facilitys too, TP, Bank, Crafting stations, why not just give us everything we can get in citys, a forge would be great too and a laurel vendor. I would happily pay for the upgrades to add these to my hall.
