Guild Gifting and a Guild Store

Hey, just wondering if there will be a feature somewhere down the line to gift items/badges/chips to other members of the guild, in exchange for gold (like other games have)?

Example: I have excess Sulley Chips and he’s already 6 star, my friend has a 5 star Sulley and is a few Chips short of 6 star, I could help him get there sooner - these Chip requests could be limited to receive a maximum of 3 per day, and you can only send a maximum of 1 per day to each person - it’ll help player growth but not so much that everyone gets maxxed out in one day…

Example 2: I need certain badge pieces in order to craft a full badge, but getting horrible results in the random drops, so I ask my friends for help - they can send 2 badge pieces max per day and I can receive 6 badge pieces max per day - slowly helping, as above, but helping none-the-less…

Example 3 (I see this more as a shared guild store, specific to each guild, than a gifting thing - and could make you guys some money too as diamonds would be involved): I have an item, let’s say 4x stamina recovery multiplier, and I don’t particularly need it, but I have a friend who wants to catch up a few levels or quickly grind some badges, so I can put the item up for “sale” in the Guild Shop, costing me a small amount of gold to do so, and he can “buy” the item for a small amount of diamonds - 10% of the diamonds go back to you, 90% come to me - that way you get gold from my end and diamonds from his end, he gets something useful for him and I get diamonds that may help me…

Do not like this at all - will throw the balance of the game out 0 the strong guilds will just get stronger while the weaker will lag behind - Disagree fully

@Cicerello, how would the weak guilds lag behind? If anything this will help the weaker guilds and F2P players because they can trade stuff they don’t need for stuff they do need - you’re a weak player who needs Sulley Chips, I’m a weak player who happens to have them, here ya go pal… However I don’t have Trident Plans and you have loads to spare, oh, you’ll give me some? Great…

Then for the store part: I’m already maxxed at the server level, but you’re 5 levels behind and finding the grind unbearably slow, here ya go pal, I’ve got this 4x stamina boost, that should help, it’ll cost ya 50 diamonds though, according to the store…

There is no possible way this does not help weaker players to try and keep uo with P2P players who are already maxxed out and won’t need to trade chips, badges or items like this…

I have (as with most of the top players) an abundance of extra chips - so we give them to our guildmates - we get stronger, There is little Dessie with only a couple of extra chips to give their guildmates - no way are you going to grow as quick as the stronger guilds who have mass amounts (ie: i have Max star Scar and about 100 extra scar chips for example)

Not a great suggestion - my opinion and this is coming from a top 10 guild player

@Cicerello, you must have missed the part of there being a limit per day of how much a person can give, and how much a person can receive, you won’t just be able to hand over 100 chips like that - to give one person all 100 chips would take 100 days given the limits I suggested, or it’d take 3 players a month to give one player 100 chips, still not that quick for stronger players to get any kind of special benefit from this… Also, I’ve seen this work in many other games, so I know for a fact it’s beneficial to everyone…

Besides, lets say you’re right - the smaller guilds won’t ever catch the higher guilds in the current system anyway, but at least with this kind of feature they’ll be able to grow quicker than they can now, so either way, it’s win-win for smaller guilds…
