i'd like to be able to see all my items without needing to load a dozen alts, i use a guild hall as an apartment for storing items that friends now passed crafted for me with special messages on them, i can't destroy those or give them away, the shear number of items like that has built up over the last 10 or 11 years (most of that was collected in the 5 or 6 years after merger, where we all lost things that had no value other then memories)
having a larger apartment would allow me to move those personal items back into my personal apartment
as for guild halls: i have 3 for gear and mats, full sets of gear take up space an if they're hard to find, they often get forgotten or lost, i'm always finding stuff that was 'overflow' being able to keep everything in a single guild hall would prevent some of the lost track of hords of mats or gears because this guild hall or that guild hall isn't accessable because the player in charge quit the game, or a dozen other reasons having to spread out stuff more and more causes more hording, everything in ryzom is finite in terms of how long it will last, so no reason not to have a stand by set of x,y,or z in the one guild hall everyone can use vs needing to track someone down when they're online or catching the GL when they're on to have them log their alts on and into those gh's to get what's needed 3rd party vs first hand if it was all in a single guild. (found out i had 4 different partial stacks of Q170 mats i was collecting for a recipe, i'd given up on ever getting enough mats back when i was trying to do it, much later on i found that i had the mats to do it with twice if i'd just had all the mats in one storage location. hard to keep track of lot's of DB's simpler to just search a single one and be done with it.
after more then a decade and a half of the player base begging for this, i expect it when i have grandchildren because it's been ignored for nearly all of ryzom's life, new stuff is great, but how about throwing the players that have been here for 15+ years a few cookie crumbs.
as for generic mats, again the research was done, takes nearly 20 stacks of Q250 gen mats to do a single level of craft past 240, that's over 1 million civ points to buy the potatos, not many people going to give those away, but Q50, 100, 150, and 200, those are often destroyed to save bag slot space as for the whole idea that someone might craft with them to get xp, might be a valid path for anyone that does not want to be a digger but wants to craft their own 60% gear with choice mats (truely bad stats as i'm using all gen mat crafted gear on all 4 of my toons currently)
