Preferred player and guild flagship

As a preferred player i tried to build a little guild for my alts as a relaxing place to avoid all the ppl asking to join their guild (invites already blocked but seeing im in a guild they wont try to ask in pm i hope).

I studied all the material i found about how to create and what i could do as preferred and nthe end, i made one with the help of a few random guys.

Spent 600k coins, not that much but stil some, to create the guild bank.

St myself up between legacy storage and guild bank in order to keep withdrowing 1 mil from legacy and deposit it in the guild...thanks to the microsmall pocket of preferred players.

Paid 1k cartel points to get the account authorization to use the guild bank. (real money here....few but still real money)

At this point i was starting the process to add the 50 milions for the flagship, 1 mil at a time...

And here come the problem. As a preferred i cant put or remove money from the guild bank. And this is something i havent found in any of the topics about the limits of a preferred player guild.

  • Members of Free-to-Play guilds may not choose when their Guild Tag is displayed. (dont really care)
  • Guild leaders of Free-to-Play guilds may not personalize Guild Rank Names or alter the default rank permissions for their Guild members. (dont really care)
  • Guild members (including the guild leader) may not access the guild bank unless they choose to spend Cartel Coins to unlock access. (paid with REAL LIFE MONEY)

So the thing is...is this something real? (the label ingame say f2p cant acces, i suppose in case they meant "not subscriber" instead of f2p.) or there is some way to overcome the obstacle?

Im the last survivor of a group of friends so no more trustable players around... so giving 50 mil (1 mil at a time, that crazy) cash or items (better solution) to a random guy/girl is not that  smart of a solution...

  • After some searchs and some ingame chats and attempts i can say :

    1)  the price is now 8 milions and not 50 anymore

    2) i had to ask some subscriber to join and put the money in the bank due to my limit to interact with cash in the guildbank

    3) even with the money in the guildbank, i couldnt buy the ship anyway (the game say that money isnt enought even if there is enought)

    4) the subscriber that gently helped couldnt buy the flagship too cause they were a "normal" rank in the guild

    5) giving the guildmaster rank to the helpfull subscriber, they could buy the ship with that same money that was in the guildbank at step 3

    6) waiting a few days to check if some other fun limits come out when will be time to set up conquest

    In conclusion, in order to get the ship on a f2p guild i had to bother some ppl to help in something that should be available to myself cause i bought the guildbank unlock, risk a scam if i gave the money forward to a random player that offered to help (i know, pll say to ask to friends, but the bad game choices in the last years made my friends disappear from  the game) and risk to get my newborn guild to be stolen if the helpfull subscriber wanted to steal it while buying the ship.

    All of this only casue someone wanna force people to subscribe in order to access their own guild after they have paid real money to get the unlock. And im not the only one that tought to be free to use the guildbank after the purchase. Some other ppl got triked into buy that unlock that dont work as ppl intended.

    The unlock say "allow you to store and share items with other guild members" but not say "you cant access to the money features" and this is somehow tricky.
