But then someone else managed to snatch the trader from under our noses. Now we have no money and no trader. We lost a crapton of money because we had lost the bid for two weeks in a row, and needed to rise the bid. And now this happened.
Something doesn't add up here, people were refunded 4 times the bids which is one of the problems encountered and a topic of hot discussion in this thread. You may have no trader but you should not have no money.

Yes we have about 4 million in the guild bank now but I don't dare spend it in case I get banned for exploiting a bug.
The second guild I am in is a small trading guild. Pretty much the same thing happened to them, except that we have now lost quite a few good member because we've not had a trader two weeks in a row. The whole thing is toxic and it's making people lose interest in the game.

Not every guild. Or course it is tempting to believe that every guild is now rolling in exploit money, but no. Why would our GM, or me, lie about this? I'm already fuming, I don't need someone come and calling me a liar. SOME guilds got 4 times their bid back. Some guilds, not all.
What part of "we won the bid" you don't understand? We won the bid. There is nothing to return. Then someone managed to hire the trader, even if it was our trader. It was signed as our trader, our guild could see it as our trader, but the trader wouldn't list our stuff. Or course not, because someone managed to hire the trader for 10k. And we did not get the money back. I'm sorry but if I try to go simpler I might have to resort to crayons next and I have no idea how to manage that in internet.
To my understanding there was a hotfix patch last night, which ended us in the situation with no trader and no money for good.
If you lost that single bidding or you used the new system to place more bids (that you have lost), you got multiple refunds per bidding, the best guess would be four times, after what I have read here in the forums.tahol10069 wrote: »Titansteele wrote: »tahol10069 wrote: »Our GM just had sent a message telling we lost our trader for good after todays patch.

I think it is well understandable who has received excessive repayments. These guilds / guild leaders, of course, the sum must be deducted again. Once they have spent this money, and thus exploited intentionally, they should be banned permanently and their assets confiscated.

The biggest payback was around 3 billion gold, another got 1.3 billions. That is much more than 4 times the bid.ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »Hi everyone, just letting you know that we are working on a resolution to this issue from yesterday.

One guild getting 3 billion gold? what did they bid 10 x 80+million. No spot in the game is worth that. Do we have any links to it or screenshots anywhere?
Tbh I’m worried about bidding this week. I have 4 Guilds I’m bidding on and had 40bids in on Sunday. I was able to secure 3/4 with 10K pick ups and my main got locked and couldn’t grab one.
Now if I bid and ZOS starts tracking the gold does it look like I’m using the gold from the refunds. With how this has been handled I don’t dare chance my account getting suspended or at worst terminated due to their way of handling things

Guildleaders who "own" several guilds got this big refundings.

And perhaps it would be a good idea in general to limit trade Imperiums with hundreds of millions in their bank accounts - and don’t tell me that it can‘t be done, their would be many ways to ensure that not always the same guilds hold the traders in Craglorn just because pilled up these massive amounts of gold...
Just my 2 cents, as usual...
juttaa77b16_ESO wrote: »what did they bid 10 x 75+million? No spot in the game is worth that.
And worst part is that guild history is entirely closed, so I can't see donations, even tho I know they are stored on server side.

No need to bid this much, presumably you get the bid back as many times as you made bids, you're using 4 as multiplier, but I've heard of bigger multipliers than that. Perhaps the multiplier is however many bids you had refunded, so up to a maximum of 10.

Prior to Sunday, money didn't just materialize in guild banks.
We work for the gold reserves we have. Warchests generate over time thanks to a combination of supportive guildies, active fundraising, donations, strategic bidding, etc... None of this happens over night; none of us started with the reserves we have.
So please explain: why should a guild that worked hard and planned for the future be penalized and denied a kiosk?

I am not sure that capitalism is the best system in the world, not any more...it could be, but when the players lack humanity, it could be very much like hell.
With that I refer to the real world - and as this is game (=fantasy), would you please allow me to dream?
