To keep the Q&A thread on-track a bit, and maybe close out this tangent, here's our consumables use- assuming our recent raiding habits:

The Monday Sarth+3 Zerg: takes us 30-45min, 5~7 wipes, is 1 flask stoneblood, 1 flask frostwyrm, 8 flask endless rage, and 5-7 fish feasts. That's 5 frost lotus, several stacks of herbs, and almost a stack each of musselback sculpin, glacial salmon, nettlefish.

Tuesday, 20-25 raiders through ToC: Either 2x 10-man or the one 25-man, we're either done or lose numbers after 2-3 hours. So at most, that's 75 flasks (an hour each), and if there are 2 raids then 10-12 fish feasts. Over 30 frost lotus required to flask up everyone for the full duration; arguably not required for everyone for the full duration.

Thursday, 10-man Ulduar Hard Modes: from after FL till calling it near midnight, about 3 hours x10 people = 30 more flasks, and even 15 fish feasts is kinda at the high end of wipes/retries.

With just those, that's about 50 frost lotus and 40 fish feasts we go through per week. So, getting back to:

Tourney Dailies become more than just collecting Champion's Seals for my obscene mount collection, the gold can be used for purchasing these resources. Until recently I had plenty of herb stocks for flasks, but my frost lotus supply is pretty much spent now. Luckily we have enough people fishing that we generally have ample supply of fish feasts. But having more of each would be great, stocking up the GB would be fantastic. Because there will be a time in the not-so-distant future when we might easily start using even more resources than estimated above: when Icecrown Citadel opens up (patch 3.3).

Other resources for people's upgrades are important too; hopefully all this raiding we're doing are getting people geared up. Leather armor kits and spellthread, gems we maybe have a handle on (but if we can changeover the GB to be holding only blues/epics and no greens, all the better), and of course enchanting mats.

So almost everything people do daily contributes to the guild in some way!

Periodically Andy and I get the OCD cleanup bug and do such things. But I saw that someone already removed the steamy romance novel series collection!! Anyways yes, some of the things on the tradeskill and resources tabs (as I think of them when organizing) are under lv70 usefulness, and so should get purged soon. Just FYI, I tend to auction the stuff and place the proceeds back into the GB coffers.

As a note, us Veterans are not able to withdraw funds from the bank. I'll poke Fhatee to come online and change the GB permissions.

Have him up the amount of items that Alts can withdraw, please!

If it means anything at all, Members (most of our mains) can withdraw 5 stacks per day from each tab. Same as Alts, I think. I'm actually OK with this setup.

To continue with Open Questions (i already know the answer to this, but),

Where is the auction house in Dalaran?
(Wait, there's an auction house in Dalaran?)

I suppose I can ask a question.

Is your childhood friend the president?

Well, let's remember why we setup the draconian GB limits: a guildie got hacked, and our GB got cleaned out.

Now, we also know that since then, the Blizz Authenticators are much more available (keychain type and iPhone app).
Also, there's a no-longer-used guild rank of 'Bank' which is between Initiate and Alt I think... Anyways, I propose that we have some use for that rank, and leave that one as 5 withdrawls (where initiates get none), and then bump up Members' withdrawl limits. Then, we separate 'Members' into ones with authenticators, and ones without (the current 'Bank' rank). Sounds discriminatory and horrible, I know, but the whole point was to protect the GB from future account compromises.

What do you see when you turn out the light?

Who is going to try out Aion? (Scott and I are Elyos on the Lumiel Server btw, it's East Coast though. We plan on rolling Asmodeans on Siel(west coast server)) But, just asking.

And

Are we looking to do more 25man raids besides ToC25? I guess it would be H ToC25? Or would that be ToGC25? Like are we going to tackle Ulduar 25 or just farm ToC25 until our eyes bleed from their sockets?

Yes. I would love to bring people through Ulduar25 on Thursdays if we have enough people!

Will need more ppl before we can do more 25s on a consistent basis.
