The Soapbox: Messy Guild banks

Nothing makes me convulse with anger more than an untidy Guild bank, 50 tries on a new boss fine, an epic fail in Wintergrasp fine, a FAILPUG fine, all of these I can handle with supreme tolerance, but put me face to face with a messy Guild bank and my neurons go sparko, my psycho side comes out and you may fine me in Elwynn incinerating cows for the fun of it, screaming WHYYYYYYY.

Now I realise that this is an extreme reaction to have but if you think about it, order and organisation makes everything more efficient, this is my logic. So here I bring you…

“Tethanes guide to keeping your Guild bank tidy so not to turn your Guild Master into a dribbling pile of nerves.”

I shall illustrate this with pictures of our own Guild bank from today and point out where my Guild members have gone wrong.

First tab

11 bits of fish is annoying for me….. but in the top corner!!! Don’t just click, put it in a suitable spot! And try and put a stack of 10 or 20 in, I just find 11 grrr well annoying.

Guildy tip: Stacks of 10 and 20 are your friend, don’t use the first tab for junk, take the time to find the right spot for your generous donation!

Second tab

Again, if your going to take stuff out have the decency to MOVE the other item to fill the spot!

Guildy tip: If you remove an item keep the tab looking tidy by moving a logically fitting  item to fill the space, make it visually pleasing!

Third tab

I’m pretty happy with this one, it reminds me of my wardrobe all colour coordinated. I will sell that one glyph and move the random one into for space it leaves.

Guildy tip: Your Guild Master likes this tab, don’t mess it up now!

Fourth tab

Agghhh all the different icon items are all mixed up, I will rearrange those and move that gem down.

Guildy tip: Put things in common groups.

Fifth tab

All those same type of herbs should be next to each other in columns not all over the bloody place.

Guildy tip: If you have a couple of herbs floating around, add enough to complete a stack, your Guild Master will love you and give you cookies.

Sixth tab

WHY IS THERE A PIMP CANE IN THE OFFICERS TAB.

I’m so obsessed with a tidy bank that people often sabotage my efforts for laughs. While standing at the bank and rearranging things with my usual tunnel vision, I realised guildies were giggling on vent, and found out they were standing there too, moving one item so that it was out of place, and then timing how long it took me to find the item and move it back.

The sickos, its a disease don’t you know. Leave my Guild bank aloneeeeeee.

    ROFL…

    Made all the more funny, for me, because I have a bank addon that automatically sorts stuff for me, so I don’t really care where it appears in the bank. You might want to think about that to reduce your stress levels :p

    That said, guild banks collect junk items almost as fast as my wife!

    HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
    Quality!
    Mainly because I completely agree.
    It’s one of the reasons I gave Sazon the Guild Master mantle – I was sick of rearranging the bank slots every single week.
    My online time is limited enough as it is without having to move every bloody thing into the right place.
    As for seventeen tickbird hatchlings taking up valuable slots…

  • Give me the addon!!! That may sort my sanity!

  • Sycamorechaz
