    That reduces the overall power of the idea quite a bit, I admit, but it also eliminates the possibility of abuse. You could add a "Wishlist" function where money above a certain threshold could be used to purchase items on the wishlist. That allows some degree of abuse, but also makes it transparent. Any illigitimate purchases would be recorded on the Wishlist, and members could easily restrict the potential for abuse on a FC by FC basis.
    I think that could help a lot - there would still be things like a guild master or sub officer upgrades their private quarters with gold plated walls before giving anyone a dank wooden room. But then its just time to find a new FC lol

    I liked the wishlist idea a lot. For now I guess we can be happy with what we will have. A working market and a working mail system.

    How about if you could mark a retainer so that items for sale are available to categories like friendlist, linkshell, company, or general public?
