REQUEST: Guild Bank ADD ON

[jace888]

Can someone please program an add on for the guild bank that will show who deposited each item. i.e., if you hover over an item, the name of the person will show up that deposited it?

Thanks!

We could at tops approxmiate that data. We could tell you who withdrew/deposited this kind of item based on the guild logs.

However last I heard staackable items (especially Style materials) don't have a single, unambigious ID. They have several different ID's per stack, making it impossible to properly identify them.
Also the transfer log afaik had a total limit to how many actions it would contain.

Well, anything would be better than nothing, I think. It should work reasonably well, especially if you didn't go in and stack things randomly but by who actually deposited the items. Is that possible?

IMO it's not possible. First, the data would be inevitably incomplete, unless you're online 24/7. Second, there's no way to tell who deposited which stack of the same item type. You could have the tooltip list all deposits of that item type and who deposited how many, but then we're back to incomplete data, which would eventually have to be pruned somehow, so that you don't accumulate 2 million lockpick deposits. Honestly I think even if such addon was possible, it'd be essentially useless.

If you want to know who's the Santa and who's the Leech in your guild, a guild history archiver addon is possible (edit: not 100% history, only what you see when you're online). I'm doing that with guild store sales, I think DataDaedra does the same.

Actually it wasn't for finding santa/leeches...it was an attempt at having another "personal" bank using a guild bank between trusted players.

in that case, an addon could be written to keep track of what you have personally deposited into the guild bank.
Every guild member would have to have the addon and be completely honest on deposits/witdrawals.
The first problem i see is withdrawing say your 4 lockpicks from a stack of 20. Although, the addon could be written to take care of withdrawing partial stacks (and stacking the items to begin with).
As has been stated, none of this data would be sent to or persist on the server. So you would have no idea who the other 16 lockpicks belonged to unless they told you.
