If you mean to tell me that 24+ casual players would NEVER and I mean NEVER see a t3 guild hall, then you are a whiney solo player that feels you deserve the world on a silver platter while standing in the welfare line.
If you want it, earn it. Stop complaining. Sure raid guilds can raid and earn platinum in a metal chest. So? If you're not a raider, make your platinum via other avenues. It IS doable. Harvesting, Crafting, Grouping, LoN Loot Cards sell really nicely, etc. There are a multitude of other ways to earn platinum.
I think Mikk even posted around here that he's earned Thousands of plat just HIMSELF crafting...
The prices never needed to be fixed. The most prestigious and wealthiest guilds SHOULD have the T3 guild hall anyways. Because the guild with the most Status should have the most Wealth. T8 Rush orders anyone? 5p and 50k status every like hour? 1 Person. Plat is so easy to make in EQ2.
Simply saying "I deserve a guild hall because I play the game" .... Is getting out of hand.
Status doesn't equal wealth for many of us. And frankly we often enjoy doing other things besides harvesting and crafting and mainly do those things to make things the guild will use, not sell them off for money that has to be funnelled into the guild hall, thereby depriving members of rares and masters etc, that they could have used. Raid guilds on the other hand, get to do exactly what they have wanted to do all along and therefore gain by far the most benefit from this setup. Raids get them large amounts of status AND money, and while other players can certainly get that, most of them have to devote considerably more time to the effort. That's my only complaint. If you're a level 80 guild member, you should be expected to provide the same status or money toward your guild whether you are in a raid guild or not.
What's the disparity is the ease with which the raider can provide those things versus the non raider. If your guild has gotten to level 80, they've already proved they'll work. I'm sick of hearing people say we don't want to work.
I'd just like it if the things that I did like mentor low level players in groups got me nice chunks of status and plat in the way that a raid does. How about 10k status and 10g every time someone I mentor levels? The time and effort put into helping guildies is more than equivalent to killing raid mobs. It's just a different game focus.
