I don't mind the Guild Trader system but with them changing weekly and the fact that we can only be part of 5 guilds, i think we need a master list posted in each town on who owns each guild trader each week. There are Traders that i like visiting for one reason or another (usually lower prices) and i go back the next week and they are "poof" gone. Where did they go? You then have to go Looking for them hoping you can find them in a big city but if not you are SOL. A master list would allow us to find the guild traders we like and support them. It might even allow some of the smaller guilds to be more Successful because they would not have to bid on a big trader but people would still be able to find and support them. Thoughts

    You mean like if you hover over the traders on the map it would tell you the guild that has them next to their name?

    That would work.

    We had someone who actually went around each week and put the Guilds/Traders on a spreadsheed, but I'm sure they got tired of that after a while.

    I would rather have a master item list that will list all the items that are available and which guild has the item and the city it is located. This way we will not waste time looking to see if someone has the item we need. We would still have to travel to the guild site to purchase the item. We can not sell unless we are in a guild with trader just view items that are being sold that week.

    There is no fun and mystery if we would know everything. It's better to move to distant trading hubs to search for wares, than to know what they offer from some master list. We can always ask guild mates to check the trading hubs in their locations for specific items.

    don't know about everyone else but I don't look for fun and mystery when shopping in game or irl I go to x store for y item get it and go. I don't waste time browsing because if I needed an item I would have looked specifically for it.

    Rawl'kha traders have everything. Go there if you need something quickly.

    Searching for the best deals on wares is so much of the fun though... If we had a big auction house like you're talking about, the markets would die and we'd lose a lot of variety in the game.

    They have quite a bit, but far from everything.

    Except he's not talking about a big auction house (that would be so much better than what we have). He's talking about a directory that tells you which of the existing traders have the droids you're looking for.
    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

    One of the guilds i belong to keeps a master list that is updated each Monday after maintenance.

    It's great because you can easily find your favorite guild trader if they had to move to another spot.

    By the time the game was done searching through a database of all available items you could probably have visited half the guild stores in the game rather than stare at a spinning wheel.

    Or, if you're on PC/EU, just go to Belkarth and grab what you need for half the price of Rawl'kha traders :)

    Yeah, there used to be a public list but it hasn't been updated in almost a year.

    The guy who was in charge of it stopped playing ESO.
