We feared you'd leave addons unable to read guild history. Don't make it permanent please.

    in single player games addons are awesome and really fun and joy, but not in an MMO they are completely an open door for cheating and its been proven that with miats addon, and many others, that the ability to cheat does exist and is even still being used in eso.

    Doing your own price check isnt hard, just time consuming.

    You go around to a couple traders, usually the capital cities or the ones near your trader, and figure out what the geberal proce for your item is. Its a lot easier now that we have an item search.

    That being said, its a LOT harder to "fine tune" your sales. You pretty much have to go with a general price that more or less matches what you see in your guild and others nearby.

    That's pretty much how traders operate on console.

    Well, i haven't the time to do that every day, and why should i be traveling all over Tamriel when i could be using my time a lot more meaningfully doing other things. Not only did the addons save time, they made the game and trading a lot more fun as well. They took away a lot of the drudgery and why is there even this perception that RPG's should be full of drudgery?

    Yet the one thing that SHOULD be drudgery, being leveling up, can be alleviated by buying EXP scrolls. It is far, far, far easier for a new player joining the game now to participate in literally any event and to level their characters up than it was for players who joined in the beginning, so i can't believe the nonsense i'm hearing about older players supposedly making the game harder for new players... what utter rubbish. The older players have worked MUCH harder to get where they are and it's all being handed on a plate to new players.

It's like some stupid authoritarian person telling experienced gardeners to take care of rose bushes without gloves.

    I'm sorry console guys don't have addons, but it's not our fault. Blame ZOS, speak to ZOS. Managing a trading guild without those tools is nothing to be proud of. It's just a plain waste of time.

    Effort! Sorry this just makes me angry

    You have no clue how much effort trade guild GMs already put in and you are not adding anything constructive. You are trolling people about something that you are not actually involved with.

    I'm not trolling. I'm genuinely entertained by the thought of everyone crying about having to do something console trade guilds have had to do since day 1.

    Add ons have made PC players lazy, spoiled, and entitled. This thread is proof. It's like your parents told you no more candy unless you earn it, and instead of putting in the work, y'all are throwing a temper tantrum.

    As far as constructive, there is no constructive post in this thread, just moaning and crying about not wanting to put time in because its "tedious".

    Welcome to running a guild.

    Hm... call me a "purist", but if you need an addon just to use the game mechanics, then it's a bad mechanic.

    If the devs didn't include it as a feature, then it wasn't intended.

    I think the experience will be much better without all of these 3rd party addons manipulating the market. Now people will use the system the way it was intended. They'll have to.

    Now, if a single guild wants to dominate a specific trader for months at a time, they will actually have to run their trading guild like a real business, which is going to be so, so fun...

    Honestly, I hope Zos leaves it this way. Then they'll finally get some real feedback on this crap system instead of constantly being defended by people who only enjoy it because they supplement their experience with 3rd party software. Heck, the console crowd seems to be doing just fine.

    Go forth and trade! Anarchy is here :smiley:

    Sorry this doesn't stack up. It was always intended that addons would fill the voids in UI functionality, partially because of the console .

    Statements like this do not negate the fact that addons do exist and provide much needed functionality that players have come to depend on.

    Also you have not grasped that guild history has been disabled, a feature that is integral to the core game. Addons do not manipulate the game or the market they interrogate information that is available and deliver it to players in a usable way.

    It is already a pretty one-sided and toxic relationship that Zos has with its trade guild GMs. We undertake huge amounts of admin, stress and yes fun as well running the trade system for Zos, without much support or direct communication. For example Zos has failed to grasp, the direct impact of crown selling (basically legal gold buying) on the trading system and how an excess of gold from those willing to spend real money has had on the bidding system.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_SarahHecker how about a dedicated, named developer responsible for the trade system, a forum thread and a constructive dialogue between trade GMs and Zos initiated please?

    It does add up. Addons can be good for cosmetic customization. If you want to rearrange the UI, change its appearance then, yeah, that's why they have addon functionality.

    I don't think the devs intended for people to use the addons to circumvent gameplay. Make no mistake, manually researching and tracking market prices amongst a large number of competing vendors is the intended "gameplay". It's a medieval market simulator, not a modern corporate tycoon simulator.

    I know for sure that they NEVER intended for addons to be used to give players such a significant advantage over the players who aren't using addons.

    And, that is purely your opinion. Not in any way, shape, or form a fact.

    For the sake of argument, though, the other TES games are single player games. What you do when playing Skyrim has zero impact on me.

    ESO was created by Zos, not Bethesda. Bethesda's view of addons has nothing to do with ESO.

    Bethesda has never told me that I need to download addons to play their games. That means their games are standalone products. Addons are neither required nor intended by the base design.

    No, having a functionality in the program that allows for addons is not the same as designing for the use of specific addons. Same goes for ESO.

    how can you know that for sure? zos is in control about which api functions can be used and most likely they know what you are able to do with it. additionally they disabled those functions if players archived something they didn't thought about. so i would say it was pretty much intended.

    WHAT do console trade guilds do from day one? Calculating hundreds of millions gold worth deals one-by-one? Nope. They just collect donations. And run raffles. And do not have any idea how much each member had sold.
    While on PC it is common for members to even get taxback for high sales. Being a top trade guild member only thanks to sales and paying zero fees is a 100% PC feature. Was.
    Absence of addons on console doesn't make this game better or more hardcore. It makes it ***. And you eat it and proud of it.

    You haven't been listening. Take, for instance, duelling. There's nothing in the game for recording duelling data or organizing duelling tournaments. But Mike Finnigan (aka @ZOS_Finn ) expressedly said "we didn't include that kind of feature because we know you can do this your self via addons, according to your taste and needs".

    You don't NEED addons for playing the game, but you CAN use them to enhance your gaming experience according to your taste. And that's pure TES tradition. And that is intended, by design. There's even a dev at ZOS, @ZOS_ChipHilseberg , specifically dedicated to the API and the support of addon authors.

    People are still missing the point.

    Zos have disabled guild history not the addons.

    it just means that the addons that read guild history are inoperative.

    Even if the addons disappear GMs and traders will still read guild history. it will just take 50 times longer.

    Hey you - dont use a calculator use real maths! Stop emailing, in fact stop typing, get a pencil and paper and hand deliver that message! Stop using a gaming keyboard - use a real keyboard!

    Addons are just an automated way to read the data that is needed and deliver it to the user in a user-friendly way according to the needs of the task. Addons do not circumnavigate or manipulate the game.

    Seriously if you were a trading guild GM you would know the pain we already have.

    just because some people get by with no phone signal where they live doesnt mean that the rest of us should throw phones out of the window.

    People please stop sidetracking the important conversation that needs to be had with ZOS about the significance of this decision for a huge number of players.

    Yeah, I can't really say I understand the point of it either.

    I'm the GM of a dues-free/100% donation-based trading guild on PS4. A rather large one that's usually pretty good at maintaining a trader in a great (but non-capital) level of cities. And just that alone is already enough work in-game to handle as far as seeking donations, running a weekly auction, running raffles, organizing fun events, etc. That's not even factoring in that I don't have to keep track of dues (since we don't charge them) and I have no feasible way to track what users sell and, so, don''t have the added option (but also added work, even WITH add-ons) of tracking what members bring in via house cut of sales.

    So, I really can't imagine the nightmare y'all are going through with simply not having access to guild history, let alone your add-ons.

    What I find interesting to note is that of the console folks speaking in here, it appears those who sympathize are actually GMs or officers of large console trading guilds and those who are slinging poo around appear to, at most, just be members of a console trading guild. Which are worlds apart in understanding how things work.

And just that alone is already enough work in-game to handle as far as seeking donations, running a weekly auction, running raffles, organizing fun events, etc. That's not even factoring in that I don't have to keep track of dues (since we don't charge them) and I have no feasible way to track what users sell and, so, don''t have the added option (but also added work, even WITH add-ons) of tracking what members bring in via house cut of sales.

    So, I really can't imagine the nightmare y'all are going through with simply not having access to guild history, let alone your add-ons.

    What I find interesting to note is that of the console folks speaking in here, it appears those who sympathize are actually GMs or officers of large console trading guilds and those who are slinging poo around appear to, at most, just be members of a console trading guild. Which are worlds apart in understanding how things work.

    Wow, the second awesome consoler gm. Thank you and @therift

    I suggested in one of the auction house discussions a while back that it would be interesting to suspend trading addons for a while and see what effect that had on those predominantly PC players who defend the present trading system. Interestingly, we may be about to find out...

    TTC effectively has implemented Auction House in ESO. Against repeatedly ZOS saying no Auction House in ESO.
    And TTC has become the cancer killing the good spots in major towns, because anyone can pop and pick good prices in the middle of Coldharbor, having a lucrative merchant there.

    FYI Any form of recording like Miat's or TTC that including people accounts logging, should comply with GDPR.
    Otherwise is outright illegal in the EU, because someone can sue ZOS for allowing through their API, a modder store someone's account for XYZ purpose without explicit consent by the affected user.

    In case of eg Miat, the KOS list, is exactly that against GDRP.

    You agree to run the ttc program when you install that portion of it.

    I'm confused, but maybe I'm exhausted.

    How is TTC a cancer? It shows listings for all traders. It's incredibly helpful for more casual traders/guilds who don't want to be in the large cities, thus making trading more accessible for more players; that's a good thing.

    I can assure you, the sales in trading hubs are quite unaffected. First, because we benefit from TTC just as much as the other traders. Second, because lots of people bypass TTC and simply shop in the hubs; we still have plenty of foot traffic.

    TTC is fantastic if you're looking for a specific thing. If you're just cruising kiosks for deals or because you need to stock up on mats for writs, you're not going to use TTC. Both happen, both work.

    No, and I'm mystified why people keep bringing it up in these discussions.

    The only addons impacted are those that access the guild history. For what it's worth, TTC does not touch the guild history (afiak), it reads the vendor listings.

    So all these comments about GDPR have no bearing in this discussion. By all means, bring them up, but do so elsw... in another thread.
