Guild-Owned Shops: Community Input Wanted!

Greetings fellow adventurers!

I've been pondering a concept regarding guild-owned shops in Ashes of Creation, and I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the matter. I recently posed a question about this in the upcoming Q&A session with Steven, and now I'm reaching out to the community for further discussion.

The idea is to explore the possibility of guilds establishing independent shops with unique names, allowing guild members to serve as merchants even without personal freeholds. This could greatly enhance the economic dynamics within the game and foster a stronger sense of community involvement.

What are your thoughts on this concept? Do you believe it would enrich the gameplay experience and promote camaraderie within guilds? Share your insights, ideas, and suggestions here, and let's delve deeper into this intriguing possibility together!

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Aww and I held back, too.

Parser says Very High on structuring, but I did want to do some adjustments if it was only partially so, since it only got a medium on meta.

I am running my reply, through the chatbot because my grammar and spelling are atrocious. I type out what I want to say and I tell it to fix the grammar and spelling issues.

My own Grammar and Spelling are atrocious as well, at times. I am way to lazy to use any kind of help for it however. 😆 . 🤣

Regarding the idea presented by the OP:

I have been in guilds which had expert crafters in a game where player shops were allowed (Lineage2). The crafters, or sometimes their alts on a 2nd account, would function as the 'guild shop' that the OP suggested.

Since the guild name was on the character (and the shop was always located at the same place), it became known as the guild shop. Other guilds did the same and set up shops nearby. Eventually, the marketplace self-organized into the weapons sellers tended to be together, armor sellers together, potions together, and so forth. It had a delightful feel of a middle-eastern market back in the days of the Roman and Persian Empires.

In other words, we may not need a 'game imposed' guild store system. The players will probably organize it all themselves, which I find preferable.
