Sorry, if this has been said by someone already, but I have to admit I didn't go through all the replies to this post.
It appears to me though, that the main problem is, that one person responsible for the payment doesn't really work, which i totally agree with.
What then, if we just have 'delegates' from all the mayor guilds. They therefore take care of a communal crowdfunding website/bank account whatsoever. (Bank account probably doesn't work because of the international aspect).
Whenever a transaction from this account is made, ALL of the delegates have to agree with that transaction, which stops people from stealing (or makes it way harder and less likely).
We could also implement a function similar to a word document: 'write' and 'read only' rights. So the delegates would have 'write' rights and everyone else only owns 'read only' rights, so that would make it fully transparent and every player on the realm could see what's going on and where their money is going.
Dunno, if such a website exists, but I'm sure you could just implement a crowdfunding website to another (self-created) website.
Thank you Jawohl, highly appreciated your donation!
At an end note, I don't get Nostalrius' point either. Just looking at the replies to the post, it appears to me, that them giving away the financial part, only makes things more confusing and until now not any more transparent.
I'm hoping though that the DEV-Team is just about to figure something out themselves, as we haven't hear much from them recently.
