💰 Reverse Guild Tax (RGT)
Created by the Guild: <Silver Chain Gang>
Game Version: World of Warcraft Classic Era / Hardcore / Season of Discovery (Interface 11509)
📖 Executive Summary & Core Philosophy
Most guilds levy taxes on their members—<Silver Chain Gang> believes in giving back.
Reverse Guild Tax (RGT) is an all-in-one Guild Wealth Dispersal, Smart Gear Dealing, Sacred Relic Loan, Guild Wishlist, Financial Accounting, Leadership Moderation, and Speedrun Routine Suite for World of Warcraft Classic.
Designed specifically for Guild Masters, Officers, Benefactors, Crafters, and Raid Leaders, Reverse Guild Tax automates every aspect of community support: from batch-mailing surplus gold and starter bags to leveling recruits, to scoring and routing equipment based on class stat priorities, loaning guild heirlooms, and running translucent speedrun checklist HUDs while playing in the world.
