Protect Your Guild Bank with an Alt Invite Policy

world of warcraft

Just a quick reminder for guild leadership: your guild bank contents might be full of L70 materials and gear, but that doesn’t mean that shady people won’t want them and the gold your guild has stashed aside.

Every alt-invite request from a person with guild bank access should come directly from that character’s main.

This vulnerability exists all the time, but in this brave new Death-Knighted world, alt invites are going to be rampant.

GOOD:

OfficerMain: “Hey, I just made a DK alt, name is OfficerDKAlt. Can I get an invite?”

GM: “Yeah sure!”

Officer logs off of OfficerMain, logs on OfficerDKAlt, receives invite, gets promoted to guild bank access. Nothing bad happens.

BAD:

RandomPerson: “Hey, this is YourFriendOfficer. Can I get an invite?”

GM: “Yeah sure!”

RandomPerson receives invite, gets promoted to guild bank access, empties guild bank.

From the looks of it, Blizzard’s going to have its hands full with technical problems, so help yourself out and prevent this from happening to your guild.
