Am I the only one that would enjoy seeing a method of reducing Guild Upkeep costs? I haven't gone through every single forum topic on here so I don't know if this has been suggested or not, but maybe having certain items (Boss Trophies crafted in the Hunters Lodge for example) should count for reducing Guild Upkeep costs by a small ammount. Larger guilds may not be that concerned with upkeep costs, but I only recently restarted playing SK after a long hiatus. Most of my guild is comprised of people I knew before we all started playing, and now I am one of two original members still playing. We have started recruiting, but with only a few active members, weekly dues would be crippling to deal with given the size of our GH.
I suggest one of two options: either each boss trophy reduces the upkeep costs by a flat ammount based on the trophy, or each trophy has a base ammount that it can reduce upkeep costs and that ammount is scaled down based on how many active members are in the guild.
actually, the upkeep is not that bad if you keep it controlled. if you bought everything you can and expect 20 members to maintain something made for 40, you're doing something wrong.
besides, guild hall upkeep costs have already been reduced once and everyone was happy about it. they still are happy about it. I suggest you to mass recuit or to merge into another guild.
