This is utterly unofficial, but I thought I'd throw it out there to inform the fellow guildies even if nobody else thinks tithing is a good idea.
We get a lot of gold in WAR. At first, you start saving for that lvl 20 mount, but when I hit 20 with 50+ gold, I knew it wasn't a big deal. In fact, I can't imagine why anybody would buy gold, because it's so plentiful! At a few silver a kill, even RVR brings in a whole lot.
Is the game just unbalanced? Well not really. I don't have much information on T4 developments, but some of the end-game stuff is going to be expensive. For example, if we take a keep, it costs 10g per HOUR in upkeep -- hold it long enough and it starts getting upgraded periodically.
That's a lot of gold, and if you're not using it, we might as well start saving now in the guild vault! Our guild is one of the large ones that might have the player base to actually take and hold a keep (maybe not, but it'll be fun to try!)
Anyway, giving money to the guild is easy. First off, you can go to the guild vault, and just deposit some. Guildies can't take it out (only officers) so it'll be safe for guild use. Even simpler is tithing. We currently have only 5% taxes, but you can give a percentage in tithes too. Just go to the guild info screen (type G) and go to the "rewards" tab. A bit down the list (on the left side) "tithes" will be yellow. click on it and you can set your own tithe rate. Now every time you get loot, a bit more will be donated to the guild.
I currently tithe at 5% (for 10% total donation) but I'll be upping it to 20% next time I'm on. I'm not super-generous or anything, I just have over 120g and have no use for gold right now.
If we all tithe more than 0%, taxes can stay low and those who need more gold for something specific will be able to accumulate it faster. At the same time, if you have more gold than you need, you can donate to further the guild, and/or increase your tithe.
Redeemed is already a force to be reckoned with. If we up our tithe now, we can ensure our success if we DO take a keep an need to pay the 240g daily upkeep (assuming we can hold it that long, but it'd suck to lose the keep due to lack of funds!)
