My guild used this method for about 6 months. It worked pretty well, but it's hard to balance, and really
tough on the bookkeeper. We abandoned it for dictatorial socialism. Any item won in a guild group (more
than 50% guild members) is guild property, and is assigned by the guild leaders based on guild need.
Items stay in guild until nobody wants them, at which point they're sold to finance Sky raids and such or
traded for usable items. You would think this would open us up for a lot of whining, but we've had very
little trouble with it. The few people who didn't like it quit, the rest are fine with it. We're about
80 members, most with at least one character above 50, so it's not like this is a tiny group of close
friends either.
