You might have a tank that you would give high permissions for withdrawal - but what if he is rarely on? Or does not have a gathering profession to donate things?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-38976942462263545302007-12-06T14:52:00.000-08:002007-12-06T14:52:00.000-08:00Yea, it's definetly a good idea.

Although most officers in raiding guilds are probably intimately knowledgeable of their raiders (at least they should be, otherwise guild drama is very likely), it makes it easier to invite on the spot. Also, if money is an issue tank/physical and caster/healer can be combined into one tab because their potions are similar. An officer tab isn't really necessary either, at least on paper it isn't.Augustianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02630100457030741311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-84561202593299157672007-12-05T22:42:00.000-08:002007-12-05T22:42:00.000-08:00Kadaan, Tank/Healer/DPS doesn't have to be the onl...Kadaan, Tank/Healer/DPS doesn't have to be the only ranks. You could go: Alt, Guild Friend, DPS, Healer, Tank, Officer, GM.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, it would be expensive in terms of tabs, but what else would you use a guild bank for? 1 general tab, and 1 tab for each role should cover the vast majority of uses for the guild bank.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-84762515584322205652007-12-05T14:37:00.000-08:002007-12-05T14:37:00.000-08:00sorry for the sloppy writing there.heh,i was at sc...sorry for the sloppy writing there.heh,i was at school so i was typing fast lolLight Of The Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464345269176602940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-51720758742672157912007-12-05T09:56:00.000-08:002007-12-05T09:56:00.000-08:00The idea of creating ranks for each raid role is a...The idea of creating ranks for each raid role is an interesting one, but then you'd lose the possibility to differentiate between Officer/Raider/Guild Friend/Alt/etc. You could use the comment field (which I believe you can sort by) to achieve the same functionality, but again you lose the normal uses of the comment field ("gone till X", "soandso's alt.")<BR/><BR/>If you could set permissions for columns/groups on each tab, role-based permissions would be great. With tabs as expensive as they are, it would be very difficult to do on a tab-by-tab basis though. Having a Healer, Physical DPS, Ranged DPS, Tank, and a general purpose tab is already 5/6 tabs and 4,350 gold :(.<BR/><BR/>I think you could achieve similar class-level functionality without losing the rank structure by creating separate ranks with the same title. For example, you could have three separate Raider ranks and treat the top rank as a "Tank" rank with repair-from-bank enabled. It would be a little extra info to track elsewhere for the guild leader. I guess it would also look funny to see "X has been promoted to Raider." three times in the chat window ;).<BR/><BR/>The ideal solution would be for Blizzard to implement tag-based organization instead of single-level based, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.Kadaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826029508824702882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-11807489441351911962007-12-05T06:54:00.000-08:002007-12-05T06:54:00.000-08:00that is an amazing idea. well form my guild i plan...that is an amazing idea. well form my guild i plan to make a tleast have a very orghanized ranking system. and i will puit your idea to good use and i will tell you how it works in the futureLight Of The Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464345269176602940noreply@blogger.com
