So basically, three people have used the ls bank in terms of borrowing gear. And I get it completley, it's a good idea in theory, but it's quite a mess to keep up with and not really many use it.

So, new idea for LS bank:

Build up a LS Gil Bank:
All those crafted items and materials I have, would make a better use I think for selling and building up a healthy ls bank. Eloisa could put her mules up and sell the stuff I get, and have gil to use for:
- LS events
- Funding stuff for LS
- Purchasing items to better our members
(Rather hard to obtain mats, gear, etc. We could then auction if off via points as long as you were close to being able to use the item in question. Only really good quality items, etc)

In terms of gear donation:
To encourage the fueling of the ls bank, points would be awarded based on item's value and OR ls need.

Possible ideas:
**I will create a forum post detailing what is being sold at the current time on Eloisa. If you so chose, you can purchase the item from Eloisa at a better price that what she would initially sell it at.
-Initial ls discount of 5% applied all the time.
-For 2pts, the discound applied would go to 15%.

Thoughts/ideas/suggestions very much appreciated! I'm just trying to think of how to put this stuff to more use.

The other portion of this belongs to the idea of levelink statics.

This is simply to fuel the desire to hit r50 and rank up to the best of our ability and encourage teamwork. In stead of having bi-weekly run leve parties, we will run leve's every reset.

Not mandantory by any means, but just a means to really move up *everyone* in the ls and a way to know there is always something going on that day. This event is going to be ran by Ben Daywhole.

To participate/event details:
-Due to the leve reset, it's impossible to know *exactly* when leves will reset based on scheduling, but atleast 4-5 parties could be ran every week.
-The static "saturday" leve party will remain always.
-You must bring a minimum of 6 leves for the party (exceptions can apply, but just gives a head up! Maybe you want to focus on DoL leves more that time, etc)

I like the idea of getting points for donating items. It seems less than ideal, but I guess one would get points at the time of donation? … since only 10 slots are available (or are you stocking up retainers too?) to sell stuff. Otherwise, I think people should get points as the item sells (more ideal), but that idea is very limited by the number of available bazaar slots.

Discounting, while nice is hardly a concern with money being so easy to come by. I can't imagine anyone spending 2 points for 10% off, but maybe I'm mislead.

I really like this idea because it opens up another avenue to get rid of decent stuff that we can't sell in our respective wards. (i.e. I have a lot of trouble selling armor in the battle ward and cloth in the ironmonger ward)

Well, I guess my idea for 2 points is there really isn't anything to spend points on yet, but perhaps I could make it more worthwhile, 25% maybe?

I like the point you brought up to, I think I should award the points in such a way based on the item's value and when it sells. I would have a gigantic list somewhere on site where I'd list what is currently being bazaared by Eloisa and at what price, as well as who donated beside it.

When more stuff comes out to actually need points, could look at reworking that more. The initial discount I guess is to encourage ppl to look at the site first before they splurge thru the wards
