LS bank

[Eldaena]

So in other words, "SE should add LS bank. Kthxbye end of thread!". The OP should have just asked a mod to lock it as soon as he posted it.

Are you upset because it's something that could be implemented that wouldn't help you because you choose not to use it?

I was under the impression that they were simply pushed back due to time constraints and other priorities.

I'll try and link it when I find it, but Yoshida mentioned in another interview that, for example, before building that cake with fellow company members that Tanaka had touted, they needed to find a use for that cake. So while cake building may seem like a trivial, small part of it, the overarching message to me sounds like they're still trying to work out how exactly player-run companies will function, and that Grand Companies were prioritized to add more content.

EDIT: Here's the interview: http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/2011/03...naoki-yoshida/

That interview talked about joint crafting a cake, and yes, it was mentioned that group crafting was something they wanted to pursue. But that response did not tell us that joint crafting would be part of player-run companies. I do not see any reason to believe that the joint crafting would be part of anything other than the Grand Companies, or possibly some other type of quest. Ever since the very first Letter from the Producer, the planned changes in the "Companies" section has only been regarding public companies, now renamed Grand Companies.

Of course, the last producer's letter said:

In my next letter, I’ll be sure to update the list of game changes. (Sorry it’s been so long...)

Maybe we'll get some mention of player run companies when that happens, but honestly, I don't think linkshell-type companies are planned for this game at all anymore.

And that's why we need linkshell banks.

In that interview, no, they didn't specifically mention companies. But the original presentation back in mid-September where groups crafting cakes were shown alongside cannons, boats, etc. as well as showing off company housing were examples of what players could expect of player-run companies. Of course, this was September, so I'm sure things have changed...but it's the closest we've gotten to any substantial information.

If we took that attitude the game would be in the same state it was in September.

Don't like guildleves? Don't use them?
Don't like SPing? Don't do it.
Don't like the craft system? Don't do it.
Don't like gathering? Don't do it.
Don't like the user interface? Don't play.
Don't like the market wards? Don't use them.
Don't like the battle system? Don't fight anything.

etc.

Thankfully we have people here who oppose certain decisions by SE so that the game isn't completely dead yet.

I'd like a bank, on one condition.

If the ls is disbanded, the money in the bank is either A)distributed evenly amoung all members.
B) confiscated to prevent making off with ill gotten gains.

have either or, though I'm leaning to option B

[Eruantien]

im up for it as long as it can be controlled on a member level, dont want a new person to join grab everything and leave.

[Speeral]

I could careless for a bank feature

but delivery box is a must

yeah but the leves aren't going anywhere. They are going to stay and people can chose to use them if they like.

LS does need a bank feature, something where sacks can control things complete with a member log to see who deposited and withdrew what. Members should be able to deposit but only sacks should be able to withdraw.
