[Discuss] Guild Members - view debt?

[Christopher Clarke]

We've gotten off track here.

It makes no sense that an organization would exist anywhere where
people could borrow money anonymously, because it makes it impossible
to recover the money that's been borrowed.

It seems that it would be fairly easy to show each member's balance -
it's just a field in the database, right? So it's a matter of whether
or not it makes sense in the game. I see no reason why it wouldn't. Am
I missing something?

Thanks,
Chris
