I meant starting a guild for the sole purpose of using it as a component shop, not everything a guild is supposed to be.
You'd invite in anyone looking to buy components, they buy them, then leave.
well again, you may get some wandering merchants out of that, but you'd need people willing to dedicate themselves to having no guild and no guild experience. It would be a very small number of people I imagine... Any players who quit their guilds just to join a component trading guild would lose all their accumulated guild experience and would likely not be let back into their old guild anyway...
Most people would be more interested in sharing components within their guild, I imagine, as it would be easier to buy guild components in the AH than sacrifice 6 months of guild xp just to find a cheap blood bloom flower...
If you try to make every improvement to insure that nobody will ever profit from it, then this is the wrong game... I think you're looking for
