Dues?

[Der Rollstuhlmann]

Ever thought of maybe collecting monthly or quarterly dues from members to raise a little cash for the greater good?

dues coulddrive ppl off

Just my idea.

True, maybe regular members or new comers do not pay manitory dues,but they can pay if they want. However, I think officals, government members, leaders, etc, should pay something to help the progress of the guild etc. With power and title, they must have reasoniblity to aid the guild.

Also any dues should be adjusted to the level of the characters. The higher level you are, the more one should pay. Also if a gov. member does not have money, they can have a few due free tickets in times of emergencies. Once they are out of the tickets, and do not have money to pay, unless it is a special situation, they should be put on probation or expel for his/ her post.

i say lets abolish this idea and instead instute a rewards system.

You recruit a member you get 500g
Member stays for a month Member get 1p
Member stays fot a month You get 500g

how about that?

Or how about maybe, having every memeber with at least one level 16 or above charicter pay dues, instead of having a burden on the poor (aka, communism instead of capitalism)?

Dues will make ppl leave, there are guild out there saying "join our guild and we will pay you!" we are saying "join and you pay us!"

I didn't know I wrote anything funny. However I tend to agree that if you make members pay dues, it would drive them out or hard to find new recruits. That is why I think only gov position, if you really want any dues, should be the group that pays it. Since they have more power and prestige, they should offer a little financial aid to aid the weaker and poorer nations.

I also think that guild improvement money and aiding new, or weaker player finanically should be different funds.

When we made the last guild upgrade and bought skill trainer we all piched in and hardboot did the collecting.... If ppl are asked to contribute they will give more than dues could raise...I now have 20 plat from tantrum, falsa doom and me......They gave me gold to help buy things not because they had to but to be part of something bigger... It made them feel part of the guild...They can say " I helped get the next upgrade" That means something to them and thats the kind of ppl we need not ones forced to help that may leave instead...mind you these are two of the newer members but are tring to belong and enjoy the game...this is a game and supose to be fun, take away the enjoyment by implementing too many rules and they'll leave and play solo or jion another guild...MY OPION AS I SEE IT FROM TALKING TO AT LEAST THREE OTHER MEMBERS!!!!!!!

[Azuni The Defender]

thank you for that insight skyline

[slandorf]

I agree, I think it would drive the majority of members off, mainly because they will feel they shouldn't have to pay to be in a group.

(As I see it)
