SE can we have a bank?

Kadenmire · 07-30-2006, 08:02 PM

I would like a bank I dont care if it has intrest I just want a place to store my gil. If its not in my pocket I'm not tempted to spend it. I think it would be handy for Linkshells too.

I'll hold onto your gil for you.

Or, you could just transfer it to a mule. That's what most people do if they want to avoid overbids or spending sprees.

Kadenmire · 07-30-2006, 08:50 PM

Yeh but I would like something simpler then having to log in as my mule send the money to my mog house and then loging out and back in as myself to get my savings when I need it.

Cometgreen · 07-30-2006, 09:12 PM

Send it to yourself, then.

That or learn some self restraint.

Hamlet · 07-31-2006, 04:47 AM

Well, if your concern is over-spending, simpler = worse. If you have to log out entirely and get onto your mule, that would hinder you more.

But a bank for a linkshell might not be a bad idea.

Kailea · 07-31-2006, 06:04 AM

all you need to do, is learn to control yourself, there is no reason for a bank, you dont loose gil if you die, people cant steal from you, so there is no way to loose gil other then buying things.

DrivenTooFar · 07-31-2006, 06:09 AM

Yeah, I think a bank is a little unnecessary, especially if you don't earn interest. The LS bank may be cool but the leader could just as easily hold on to the money and distribute it when needed.

A few ls banks were suspended when SE did their sweep up of accounts holding vast amounts of money...

I would love to see a ls bank set up, but who knows...

eticket109 · 07-31-2006, 06:47 AM

The problem with muling it all is the delivery restriction on gil. I could see the benefits of a bank specifically for that reason.

Ellipses · 07-31-2006, 06:54 AM

And that delivery restriction on gil is also why I don't think we'll see this. A personal bank wouldn't be of much benefit to any single player (since there's no way to involuntarily lose gil). But a linkshell bank, or one that could be used by any character on a single account, would effectively nullify the delivery restrictions, and if legitimate players can use it, so can RMT.

Temptation or lack of willpower are very poor reasons to make changes to the game. I'm tempted to fight every single goblin I see.

Newbusarcanemus · 08-08-2006, 06:05 PM

I agree on the LS bank, because sometimes money needs to be put together for a group project within a ls and i think the LS bank is just the idea to do this.

Legal Fish · 08-08-2006, 09:18 PM

Would be a waste of memory and effort.

Its like having 700 hundred models in the sky above lower jeuno, but all invisible, just there to add lag.

What do people not get about asking smart things only. A Bank has no use, what-so-ever. I rather they spend of what they can against "PS2 Memory Limitations" in actual item space, not so I can roleplay a mom putting her weekly paycheck in her account.

Moaku Hyena · 08-08-2006, 10:42 PM

There may be server-side lag Legal Fish, but not PS2-Lag.

However, I am TOTALLY against it. It will allow RMT LSes and normal RMT to bypass the restrictions on delivering gil, allow more gil to be stored, and easier management and transfer of Gil among RMT.

/sigh

I even log on and was in the middle of a bunch of RMT, level 1-10 gear--in Yuhtunga Jungle.
