Guild House - Paying Rent

[Alan]

Guild members are able to drop coin onto our guild house to pay rent.

But the command /bountyrent guild : will not allow them to use BP's, how do other guilds get around this ?

We would like to make paying rent with G or BP's as easy as possible for the guild house, so anyone passing can help out if they have some spare change/bp's

afaik only GMs (rank 0) can pay guild rent with BPs.

I think if you buy rent tokens with bps from the merchants, then you can pay with them.

It’s not possible and there is no way around this (thank god).
I would be pissed if my guild mates wasted our guild BPs on stuff like rent etc. when there are towers/keeps not claimed due to guilds being low on BPs.
Let them use their own BPs instead if you want to pay with BPs. I’m sure you have a few ppl in your guild with BPs enough for a few years of rent.
I made enough BPs for 6.5 years of rent(We got a mansion: 200 BPs/week) in 2 months with my WL.

An alternative to using rent tokens is the /bountyrent command. To pay your rent this way, simply type /bountyrent followed by either personal or guild (depending on the type of house you wish to pay rent for) and then the number of bounty points you wish to spend.

I read that as the /bountyrent guild would take BP's from your personal stack and pay for the guild house. Will have to try this in game tonight to confirm. And I completely agree with you would rather save guild BP's for towers/keeps and not for a house.

So.. back to the question... how do you let guild members use their personal BP's to pay house rent ? do the tokens work for them on a guild house ?

 

[Alan]

- We have added a new /bountyrent command. This will allow players to directly pay for their house rent with bounty points, rather than purchasing tokens which may not be correct in value. This will also only allow players who are guild leaders to pay with their own guild bounty points - rather than a guild leader buying bounty tokens for his own house - or buying guild tokens and using them on a future guild house. The syntax is /bountyrent personal/guild . The amount is the number of bounty points you wish to spend. Each bounty point is worth 1gp in rent. Only house owners and guild leaders can perform this command.

So.. looks like it would take BP's from the guild pool.

So people would need to bountyrent personal xxx while in the guild house, but this is kinda useless anyway as only the house owner/guild leader can do it.

only rank 0 (GM) can use the /bountyrent personal xxxx to pay guild house rent.

Had to get my GM to promote me to rank 0 to pay giuld house rent, then quit guild and get reinvite at old rank - such a pain....

is it 1.76 and all the new guild command that allows GM's to pull a % of personal BP from members towards guild funds?

Can members buy bounty tokens and use those ? or even buy bounty tokens pop them in the guild vault then the GM use them to pay rent ?

1.76 brings in guild levels, whent he guild is level 5 you can set a "tax" that 2% of all looted coin goes to a guild fund which ofcourse could be used to pay rent.

You can't place bounty tokens in the house vault, on the CM or trade them.
The only way others can pay your rent is by donating their money.
I’m not sure if it’s going to be changed in the future so you can pay with your own BPs if the house owner grants you "pay rent" rights.
I’m pretty frustrated it's not possible atm because my BB account have a house (200 g/BP a week) and I’m not getting any BPs on that account as it is.

Whent he guiold tax comes in in 1.76 it could be an option, until then all I can do is pout silly items on the CM for 100/500g for people to buy if they wanto contribute.
