Currently the price of guild store slots to a personal backpack slot is 3:1. 50 FSP for one guild slot vs. 15 FSP for one personal slot.
What is the purpose of making the guild store slots so expensive? The easiest work-around for guild space is to have the guild founders buy personal bag space and use it as guild storage. This defeats the point of having a guild store. Spend less FSP to get more, and the guild still receives all the same benefits from having a larger storage facility.
Suggestion: Reduce the cost of the guild store slots. By reducing the backpack slot cost for the guild, you are increasing the amount of FSP that guilds will spend to increase that bank. You are also solidifying the reason for the guild having a storage area that is not a person. Also increase the total amount of bank slots the guild can have. With a guild of 124 people, the amount of new items that are coming into the game, the number of players in a certain range that would use guild gear, and many other factors, lowering the cost and increasing the total size of the guild store, is a true win for everyone.

I guess my question to this would be, "Why is it so much more expensive to buy a guild bank slot than it would be to buy a personal inventory slot? I am looking for the reasoning behind it.

Personal BP slots are cheaper than Guild Store slots for a very simple reason ...
You can take personal BP slots with you should you move guild (and is "private" to you - unless guildies dump tagged gear on you). Guild store slots are available for anyone to use.
If you go down the road of paying for a guild founder to add personal BP slots and he quits the game, or gets terminated, or moves on, you've lost them all. A guild store slot will still be there (unless the guild folds) and therefore has more "resilience".

I will agree, but they -could- do with a price reduction to encourage people to spend them on BP instead.... every guild store slot costs the same as 3 1/3 BP spaces, so of course that's going to happen. they could easily be reduced to 30 FSP and those who paid would get a refund put directly into their bank.... Twice as much as a BP slot, but still more reasonable.
I know I know.... not going to happen *shrugs* lol

That being said, I agree with the reasoning to reduce the price...just saying, lol.
