Guild Traders - DO YOU FEEL YOU WASTED YOUR GOLD GETTING A TRADER THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS?

We usually bring in over a million gold each week from our trader, but the past 2 weeks we've barely brought in 50k total. I believe this is due to the glitch where it doesn't show the prices in the trader.
Anyone else feeling the pain in wasting over 500k on traders and not making any gold back?
(For the record, my trader cost 950k)

✭✭✭✭I've always wondered how guild traders work. The past couple of weeks should have been some of the highest in transactions ever.
You pay a million in gold a week for to use a trader spot?
Do the guild GMs get to keep the extra gold the guilds bring in beyond the trader cost?Permanently banned from the forums for displaying dissent: ESO - The Year Behind

No - all the gold from the 7% sales tax goes into the Guild Bank and is used for bidding on a trader the next week. Most of the big trade guilds have to run raffles and many charge a membership fee even just in order to be able to bid on a trader in a good spot. The Guild leader(s) don't get anything at all for their work.Semi retired from the trading aspects of the game.2 -

That is a load of BS. This may not be the case in your trade guild but is not the case in most. A large trade guild with 450-500 active members that charges 3k-5k a week in fee's and only pays 750-1m a week for a trader pockets 350k-1.5m a week. Most raffles trade guilds do, do not come close to the cost of the excess gold after winning their bid on a trade. You tell me what trade guilds raffels equal anywhere near 1.5m a week in gold.0 -

I asked the same thing yesterday here, http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/220323/sales-within-trading-guilds-have-dropped-significantly-since-ic#latest
One sale in 11 days now and it's ever since they changed it so you have to click on the individual item now to see the price... ONE!!

XoXJulietteXoX✭✭✭I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it is actually 3.5% that goes back to the guild. Not 7%... Go back and do the math.

Sorry, but I'm in 2 that have traders in Wayrest, without any fees. They just require people do a certain amount of sales per week. These are two major ones that have secured their traders quite well since the guild traders were introduced. They are always with around 480+ members too.
Sure they do raffles, but I don't think the raffles are there to really earn a whole lot more gold, and truly believe most of the gold used to get the traders is from sales. Using a few addons, I have seen that quite a few people from outside these guilds purchase from the traders.Edited by Thymos on September 29, 2015 12:00AMThe Older Gamers Recruitment Thread
