Missed a great oppurtunity with the banker

I was excited when I heard about a banker being added for upgrade, but then became disappointed when what I had hope would happen did not.

I think you should strongly consider the bank having a shared account with other characters owned by the player. This would really, really, really help with transfers and scamming. Being able to put a item in the bank with one character, logging, and withdrawing that item for another character would be amazing.

Transfers are always a pain. You in the middle of a kill and a good Clan member chats, "need transfer" you want to help but the tree is bearing down on you. Allowing this kind of transfer between characters would really help.

Think about it, please.

Hi there

I would like to sort out the scamming issue as it not nice for people to lose items. So anyone with suggestions please post.

I was thinking how about we have a 'post' system where you can post items to other players, an also some way to 'lend' an item where it automatically comes back.

Would that get rid of the final scamming issues?

If not what else would help?

Thanks!

Well...

I would also really want to be able to transfere between characters, but: will the bank be server only or between servers? Because while I'd love to lvl my Druid on Belenus with great gear I can also see the problem if a whole clan decides to move servers.

A post option would be really really awesome. I sometimes lend items from a friend and then feel bad logging with those items equipped that he'll need when he logs in. So posting the items back to him would be sweet.
Lending as also an awesome idea, ESP if you can select the amount of time that you are lending the item (5 min, 1 hr, 6 hrs, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week). That way I personally would help a lot more people because I'd have a guarantee to get my items back.

Yes I would love a lending type thing.... So many noobs ask to borrow stuff but I dont trust them so a lending thing where it automaticaly comes back is great! even if they are offline or online... and they cannot trade it.

If you implement this, you must make sure that there is no doubt that the items ae just being lent to a person. Otherwise, there could be a situation where a person thinks that they are buying an item and gives the lender gold. Then after a couple days, the item disappears and goes back to the lender. Then the borrower is out the money and the item.

I love this idea though!

You could make lending just one way... when you click to lend someone something, only you can put something in the window and both accept, so it is not possible for the other person to put something in the lend window as an exchange.

Agreed Perl..

Think the bank should also be able to hold gold and have tabs to keep it tidy. Dont like the amount of item restrictions either, just a way to get more money IMHO.

LOVE the lending idea, where the item automatically comes back after e.g. 30mins, 1 hour, 2hours, 4hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours.. Or X hours which would solve everything.

Also, posting would be great. Would also like a message box of some sort where you can send someone a message and they receive it when they are online, and would love to be able to add someone by typing in their name instead of having to click on them. (seems a bit pointless but here is a couple reasons).

You are fighting in shale, and you meet someone cool. You are talking to them and then your clan calls for a boss. So you rush to Otherworld or Stonevale etc. And get to the boss, then you realise the cool person you met isn't on your friends list so you want to add them.. You could just look at your chat log and type something like /add SomeoneCool And it adds Them to your friends list. (could make it so you could turn off friends requests or make it so only people on your friends list can see whether you are online and what area you are in.

Going a little off-topic and just chucking my ideas out there lol.

..RAP!

Dissagree bud, some people would like to use it as a moneymaking scheme. Example, 'Lending Heroic Ammy for 2 hours, 10k'.

Without being able to do this people would have no reason to lend to lower players, and it gives lower level players a taste of what it's like to have good gear, making them want to play more and either buy plats to get the items or save up for them.

Just my opinion :)

..RAP :!:

Both suggestions that Admin made are just as good :)
