So for a long time now , most guild houses and their uses have not really been guild related and have a very small guild related feel to them, most see them as an extension/expansion for their guild houses for a small price.

I think since the guild system is changing into a more loyal active experience , the guild houses should follow soon after in order to enchance the gameplay for the players.

My idea is to keep the old guild houses as an extension of the player houses as they seem to be mostly used now by players. You could even rename them for that purpouse to be clear as I don't think many would really care about it much as it wouldn't affect much.

My idea for the new guild house is where the guild house would not be attached to individual players, instead it would be attached to the guild tag it self so every guild member can access it ( I believe allies should be able to have separate ones if that option is chosen opposed to the 50 player one ).
These guild houses could start up small and then the guild could use points to expand it , such as add additional rooms ( obviously here would be a limit ).

For the furniture for the guild houses the guild would have a gralat donation pot where each of the players could donate gralats towards the guild in order to buy furniture specific to the guild house , this furtnitute could not be used for players individually. I believe this would encourage loyalty as players would have to trust and be loyal enough to the guild to trust them enough and put in donations to organise the guild houses and let them build a nice guild house together so it actually feels and looks like it belongs to the guild! ( powers can be give to those who can edit and those who can buy furniture in the guild roster )

These pieces of furniture would be specific to guild houses and to begin with there wouldn't be large volumes but ofc as time would go more and more furniture could eventually be added.
This would also open opertunity to recruit more graphics staff which could focus these guild specific furnitures.

The guild house layouts could have a lot of guild themed rooms such as guild soar arenas, thrones , guild halls , places where guilds could have meetings to enchance the role play experience some players look for , they could appeal to very different styles guilds depending how they chose to lay it out.

Anyways just a thought that I though wasn't too bad of an idea , sorry if some parts are unclear or poorly written but I've done this ok my iPhone which isn't my favourite plataform to write on.

Addition : Now that I think about it , since the volume of guild house furniture wouldn't be high when first released , it would be cool if players could donate their own furniture to the guild houses. However although guild loyalty is being pushed , I still think these furniture items should be returned to players if they are to leave the guild to avoid complications.  

I can imagine some dumb kid using his mom's credit card to pour large amounts of gralats into said pot.  

too lazy to read all of that  

Same^^

Well this isn't even a valid counter argument as some kid can already do that for his own graal stash , also I don't think the company is concerned where their income is coming from as long as it's legit

I wasn't even making a counter argument, nor did I say that I disagree with your idea.

He implied that it was by pointing out a counter argument that never even existed in the first place.  

You can like an idea and agree with it and still bring up a counter argument

But the question is, did I actually make a counter argument?

The point is you've made a pointless point then and have derailed the tread topic whilst contributing nothing towards the idea...

Then I apologize for derailing this thread with nonsense.

Anyways, to get back to the thread topic; you mentioned somewhere that the guild members can expand the guild house by spending points to add rooms up to a certain limit. This poses two questions:
1.) Where would they get the expansions? Would they get it from a shop, or would they get it from a menu GUI?
2.) Where would the points come from, and how would the members earn said points for the guild house? Would they be earned by completing certain goals, or by guild activities like baseing or PKing?  

I think it would be neat to see guild point gain based on statistics of individual members. For instance, totals of PK, BK, or Tower Hours that particular members have gained over the season. It would create a very fluid system which would easily be made to play off of the pre-existing leaderboards.  

I want expansions so I can decorate more rooms

This would be more something for gulld works on as a whole instead of an individual experience , if you found guild members with the same objective as yours to decorate the guild house as neatly as possible then that's obviously something within your power to do , however I don't think it should be based on I want to do it as the current guild houses pretty much already fulfil that purpose compared to the normal houses.
