Guild Hall Level Booster In Zen Market

Offer guild hall level ups in the Zen Market. This would be a major financial benefit for you company and provide the temptation for the gamers to purchase more. Doing this would offer low level guilds so much and promote/increase sales and profits for you.

If they were talking about the later, I would be almost impossible (if not completely) to have such a thing. There are so many variables:
- Your individual Guild Level requires different quantities of structures to be at certain levels
- Your Alliance Level effects the building discount you will receive.
- Your Alliance Position (Helm, Gauntlet, Sword) effects the building discount you will receive.
- What you want to build (PvP vs PvE build) determines what structures you will want to build.
- What Boons you want determines what structures you want to build.
I am sure I have forgotten some. The only possible way to do it would be to have some type of al a carte system in place where you order what you want and it gives you a total price. Which I don't even know how they would begin to implement.1. fill up the coffer to the needed values of shards, campaign currencies, and so forth - OR -
2. it would simply make the upgrade costs considered to be met and enable the upgrade.
In both cases, my idea would remove from your coffer whatever resources it has for that upgrade. Either way, the upgrade for that building should simply start immediately. You shouldn't have any choice in the matter.
For example, let's say you're trying to upgrade a building that requires 20k food, 20k wood, and 50k labor. You have 25k food, 15k wood, and zero labor and you use a "building upgrade completion" on that building. In the #1 scenario above, then your coffer would receive zero food (because you already have enough), 5k wood, and 50k labor. In the #2 scenario above, the upgrade would start and your coffer would still have 5k food (because the upgrade only requires 20k food), zero wood, and zero labor (because you had less of these things than required and so it takes what you have).
The easiest way I can imagine them adding this kind of functionality would be to add a button to the interface that lets you purchase a "building upgrade completion" unlock from the store, which immediately starts the upgrade.
Hopefully, I've described this pretty well.
My opinion of all such things is this: I find it intriguing because my guild is level 8 and I would love to upgrade my buildings faster so we can get onto a higher level. The problem is cost: How much should such a thing in the Zen store cost? Should the cost vary according to how deficient you are on the resources needed to upgrade the building? Would it be worth purchasing at whatever price they chose to sell it? After all, at our current progress, I would need four "building upgrade completion" things to get my guild to level 9 right now: one each for the warehouse, lumberyard, marketplace, and guild hall.
The other problem, from a player perspective, would be this: If I do all those upgrades with a hurry-up from the store, then my guild will have zero of all the following: heroic shards, adventurer shards, labor, gems, surplus equipment, treasures of tyranny, frozen treasures, fey trinkets, dark gifts, and influence - and we'll be low on gold and low-ish on AD (we have 6.3k of 11.1k atm). It would make level 10 look like a Herculean effort to get, and that's in spite of the fact that between mine and my wife's accounts we can pump out 30k labor, 300k surplus equipment, 100k gems, 1000 AD, and 4500 gold per week each. (Well, I could fill our coffer with gold in about 3 days right now, but you get the point.) That would be somewhat demoralizing, I would think, and it would lead to frustration from feeling like you "need" to continue to purchase the unlocks from the store to progress.
Trying to do that for the entire Guild would require a form of which structures to upgrade and then do the above calculations for each individual structure. The individual structures would then have to upgraded before the Guild Hall could be upgraded.

[GH LVL 16 Booster & 100 Korean Bots Buntle] 200000 Zen
[GH LVL 12 Booster & 50 Russian Bots Buntle] 50000 Zen
[GH LVL 8 Booster & Legendary XP Booster Buntle] 20000 Zen
Dead🔪I doubt folk would pay a thousand bucks for each level (which is what you would be talking about realistically).
A good alliance with senior guilds already at 20 will be throwing stuff into the lower level guilds for guild marks so progress should be faster for such guilds than it was for the Level 20 Helm.

The current zen market items and auction house provide most everything needed to accomplish this, except for a couple donations types, such as glory, gold and AD cannot really be bought in those two markets.
