Neither of these would work for the reason DaK mentioned above. One can level to lv. 30 in a matter of 2-3 weeks just by showing up and spending energy efficiently. If gems and/or equipment could be traded, it'd severely devalue earning them by raiding. As DaK said, there's quite a few of us in the high might guilds with enough ChV to buy 100-200 of the best gems and equipment in the game. We could effectively max out our members in a day if trading was allowed. Just feels a little unfair. Even if valor/gs equip was not tradable... same problem. I have 12m silver on my account. What's to stop me from hoping into a baby guild, and buying a full set of t9 for half of them?
I don't think currency or gear should be tradeable - if only because of the reasons listed above. Gems would be great but would have the same problems.
I think it would work for items that are drops - recipes, materials etc. Believe it or not, some people are altruistic and would help guildmates with things like flux. I wouldn't mind being able to chuck a guildmate a recipe that is worthless to me. My SW got all the enchants I didn't want first, including one I can't even use (2H damage). I'd give someone that for free. I know how hard it can be to collect a particular recipe. The wrong ones always drop first (now a three-toon record, thanks for that Venan).
If a guild bank could only have certain items added, it could work.
Yes I know you can buy recipes from the black market. If someone wanted to do that and give it away, they should feel free - that goes for anything bought by gs. If someone really wants to waste their money buying and donating stuff, they should be able to
