Hmm. Our guild just disbanded…rather suddenly. Although I am a new player and had placed nothing in the bank, my husband had and I had peeked in and saw that there were quite a few money donations from guild members. (BTW, I didn’t take anything out, either.) I wonder if they will ever get that cash back, (it would be possible, each item was listed as to who had put it there. A screenshot would give her a list to go by.)

Something similar happened to me on another game. The player-built silos and guildhouses are owned by the guildmaster. Mine tore down the buildings one morning while I was at work. I never got the items I was storing there. Not sure if they kept them, sold them or if they were just deleted with the buildings.

Yeah now that I think about it, I never really touch many things in my current guild bank so it’s not really much of an issue if my guild master runs away with the stuff.of course I wouldn’t want him to do that on purpose

This isn’t ‘OMG WTF!!!’ shocking to me. I’ve been in a guild that had a guild bank and disbanded. Begin a Co-Leader, I got 1/3 of the money there; the rest of the gold went to the Guild Master and the other Co-Leader. ‘I sold the items in the bank that didn’t sell on the AH to a vendor and gave that money to you guys.’ siad my guild master. So sure a guild master out there might backstab you and take all your stuff but that’s how it went down wiht Bank alts and today with a Guild Bank inside the Stormwind Bank.

I’m not sure how much of a problem this poses.

As a guild owner, people donate items to my guild they no longer need or want, with no expectation of getting it back.

A new guild will not likely have a guild bank right away, and if they do, it’s doubtful they’ll have much worth giving away. If they disband, there’s really nothing lost there.

As you mentioned in your post, established guilds are much less likely to simply disband and loot the guild bank.

Even if this occurs however I don’t see the issue. No one’s really “losing” anything per se, because they gave it up to begin with. Honestly the only people who could possibly miss out are those who potentially need something from the guild bank – in which case, it’s still not that big of a loss unless they’d already requested the item.

Just my two cents
