Kel and others we officers are currently working on some comprehensive guidelines for the GB. We are also trying to weed out items which we are by passing in the rapid leveling we are all experiencing. The consensus right now seems to be to build up the GB for Guild Events and Dungeons, which means our stock of consumables will be the most desired items. There will soon be a stickied post which will keep track of items going in and out so we know what is available. There has been some good input from one of officers about building up a guild stash to use in prizes and most of all for things needed such as armour repairs for high level events which will be coming up, as well as any gold needed for pvp. To that end one of the things on the discussion table among officers is a need for all guild members to donate 5 silver a week per account above lvl 10 characters. Currently members have permissions to leave or take out items in the GB, but only to donate funds, not withdraw it, this is reserved for guild leader and officers. I have been very impressed by the open sharing of items among guild members, and until we get the GB up and fully organized we will have to depend upon that. Anet still has not worked out all of the bugs in the GB, which is going to create more problems too. If you wish to sell an item and donate the proceeds this will probably be a more equitable, and efficient process for now. We are going to be trying for full transparency and accountability withing the upcoming stickied post. Another idea which is being put forth by officers, is no low level items, ie whites, blues, and greens to clutter up storage. To that end some items are being sold and the monies returned to the GB. Overall we must take a long view of the GB, what will serve the guild in the long run? Please we need all suggestions and input during this development period. And please if at all possible check with an officer before depositing or withdrawing general items, materials we will take what we can that will help the guild in the long run. Ooops it seems I did not answer a specific question well enough. If you are having a dungeon event, or coordinated clear of an area, by all means use consumables, just let an officer know what is going out so we can beg for new needed items. And please let us know what consumables are best for what uses so our guild cooks can concentrate on that, and our farmers know what to look for. Does that help answer your question Queen Kel?
