Returning Points from guild to account [Just a suggestion]

The prologue is just me explaining why am making this thread in the first place and can be skipped. Through out this thread I call the process of returning the points transferred to the guild as "Refunding" for convenience.

Prologue:
Spoiler
The first time I created a guild with my friends, their first question was:
"
Where is the guild stash?


Just to impress them I had to sell some of my stuff to get the money. I purchased 50 points and transferred it to my guild wallet. Before getting the stash tab I asked my officer (One of the people who wanted the guild stash so badly) whether we really need a guild stash. And he was like:
"
Why do we need one?



Totally not exaggerating on the expression. Couldn't blame my friends so I decided to return the points I put into the guild... And realized that wasn't possible. I messaged grindinggear about the issue and they were really helpful and responsive. I realized there was no turning back and bought the guild stash.


I kind of understand why there is no option to return the points that you have put into your guild.
The guild wallet contains the points transferred by all the members of the guild. When some of the points are spent for the guild, it is not clear which member's points remain.

Example:

Let's say two users transfer points to their guild:
1. User1 transfers 50 points
2. User2 transfers 20 points
3. The guild would obtain 70 points
If the guild leader spends on a guild stash worth 50 points, the guild wallet would have 20 points. If there was a refund option, there would be a confusion on who to refund the points to. Did the guild use User1's points first or User2's? I hope everyone gets the point am trying to prove.


Note: From now on the thread has only suggestions. It is upto grindinggear whether to implement them or not. They aren't perfect so you can improve upon the idea.

Suggestion:

1. After transferring points to the guild wallet, a cooldown is required so that the spent points cannot be used as soon as they have been transferred.
2. Users should be allowed to return the points they spent within this cooldown period.
3. Since the points are unspent within the cooldown there wouldn't be any confusion on who receives the points on refunding.

I feel 1 Hour would be a good cooldown time.


If implementing this is not easy...at least put up a huge warning saying "You can't take back the points put in guild" during the transfer of points.

Dealing with this now. Im in a guild with one other non active person at the moment. But its my guild and ill more than likely kick them out soon. So if we run a solo guild we really cannot transfer our leftover points back to our account that made the transfer? Oh and go ahead and reply here hansolo,
