    Hazar at last. Your days of doing nothing but sucking the earth dry of everything red and bloating the guild traders with temp alloys are gone. And it's for the best. They were way too expensive. Yesterday in ZC I had someone pop up with "wts temp alloy 55, 10k each" bruh I had them all. It's about time people got on with selling stuff people need. No one needs gold weapons now. Master writ crowd will already have enough to last them anyway.

    Everything in game is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Period. If no one will pay your price, your product isn't worth it. Period. This goes both ways though. I would never pay 1mil for a sharpened weapon. But other people have managed to get that so good for them. It seems like you want the market to bend in favor of what you think your product value is. That's not the way supply and demand works. You have to entice the buyer. Who are you to decide what other people should price their goods at? Their temper is exactly the same as yours, why should they adjust their price to make sure you feel good about what you're selling your's for? If they feel their whatever price is
    worth it for the item they're selling, then both the seller and buyer are happy. But that should be disrupted because you want to sell your's for more? Lol. That's like the big Pharma corps in the US paying lobbyists to keep Canadian meds out lmao. If you want to come compete with those that hustle, you'd better start hustling.

    I honestly don't think they should of ever put guild traders in the game. Guilds should not be competing. This isn't GuildWars or GuildWars 2. This is The Elderscrolls Online. The Alliances already compete in Cyrodiil. They should of just put brokers in each town, so that way people can sell what they want for how much they want. And they won't have to risk getting kicked from a top guild for what the leaders call it 'petty undercutting'. Which is why I am contemplating on leaving the guild I'm in. The prices they make us to put are too high, and no one is going to want to buy anything.

    What are you taking about. You are either selling crap, selling things for to much, or selling subpar items in out of the way traders.

    I sell things daily in guild traders. Made a little over 2mil since housing dropped.

    Economy is fine, text chat is fine, and guild traders are fine.

    This game needs 2 things to advance to the next level.

    1. Some sort of linking between the traders, so you don't have to go to 20 locations to browse. Perhaps give every trader access to everything for sale at all traders, then the trade guild the item is sold from gets the commission? I don't know, dunno how to fix it, but it is broken as *** for the buyer as it is now. It's a pain in the ass to buy things.

    2. The crown store paywall *** has to go. Just go subscription. The majority of people that are buying stuff on crown store anyway are either already doing $20 a month for eso+, or they are spending more than that on crown purchases, more often than not, both. Anyone not buying anything in crown store or paying for eso+, well, if they like the game enough they'll pay the subscription, if they don't, probably weren't that interested in eso anyway, and not a big loss. Community ends up stronger with all people that are definitely wanting to be here, happier, because all items are ingame lootable instead of locked behind a paywall. ZOS would be happier in the long run too, profit stream would be steadier and consistent.

    I really don't see this game increasing in community size by any great proportion without these two things happening.

    Ummmm you do know this game was originally sub only right? It didn't work out for them.

    Eso does not need to be sub based to succeed, it also doesn't need an auction house or linked traders to succeed.

    The only thing locked behind paywall is cosmetic items. Anything else can be acquired in game. Eso has the least intrusive cash shop. There are no p2w items in it and anything that is crown store exclusive is cosmetic. I would definitely have to disagree on your assessment of what eso has to do.

    Not sure what you mean OP. I sold a bunch of crafting mats in stacks of 200 or 100 on the guild stores. Priced them competitively and they sold in the span of 3 days. I always check with where the guild trader is at and compare other prices first before putting my mats up.

    Im on PS4/NA, trader was in Rawl'kha
