Is it going to stay this way forever?

Yes

Do you know that or are you assuming?

*clings desperately to hope*

maybe been sarcastic *g trading or trade guilds never have been handled with any priority in eso, i, and a lot of other gm and former gm do know that pretty well.

well, kai schober a week ago or so said something regarding this on german forums - community managers still havent got any infos regarding this issue, there wont be any fixes before next update/dlc most likely

I want to report a bug. No, I won't go through your automatic-ridiculous-answer-bots or to the guys who never opened and played eso in their life.

Happened in PC EU - 15 Sep right after guild kiosks swapped

First, t=x, what we had

1. Account A with Guild ALFA- bid and lost all its 10 bids - got trader previous week
2. Account B with Guild OMEGA - bid and lost all its 10 bids - did not have trader previous week
3. Account C with Guild TETA - bid and lost all its bids.
4. Kiosk Y - a free spot
5. Kiosk T - a free spot
6. PC specs, network, all same for PC 1 which has Account A, and PC 2 which has Account B

what happened

1. Account A with guild ALFA tried to get Kiosk Y, there was a hire trader option but the system gives feedback that the guild trader is swapping some sh**
2. Account B with guild OMEGA tried to get Kiosk Y, - while Account A was spamming for guild ALFA - there was hire trader option and BAM, account B took the trader.
3. Account A with guild ALFA said bad words and cursed. Because the owner knows it was not a timing issue
4. Account A went to another city for Kiosk T
5. Account A with guild ALFA tried to get Kiosk T, there was a hire trader option but the system gives feedback that the guild trader is swapping some sh** - but remember Guild OMEGA got the previous spot.
6. Account C came and hired the Kiosk T
7. I later heard from a close GM, that he also tried Kiosk T and failed. - which got trader previous week

conclusion

1. There is a bug or maybe still on background system thinks guilds still got the trader and not swapped so they cannot hire.
2. it may be related to if a guild previously does not have a kiosk, then it has a higher chance to get a kiosk as other noobs which got trader last week but lost this week cannot hire it.
3. Fix this stupid thing.

Edit: grammar stuff.

Was this problem ever resolved or is it still an issue?

Why is still a sticky?

You know it. I know it. ZOS knows it. But since they spent a lot of time making it, they won't change it.

Hello, can you guys please consider to changing the times for the all of players? i mean like some of us have to go work on day time. @ZOS_GinaBruno

Evenings would be great for all of us after 6 pm for example

Oh not this again.

1. Not all people come from the same country or work Monday to Friday

2. When it was outside ZoS' normal working hours they couldn't fix the many things that were going wrong with it.

Also, they deliberately chose a time many people are not in game so as to reduce the stress on the servers and avoid the problems in the first place. Moving it to a time when more people are home and playing would be asking for those problems again, which as you said they wouldn’t be at work to address.

Given that this topic is well over a year old, does it still need to be pinned? lol

I think decentrilized system is the better, and it will end up regulating the market.
1. Eneble lands for limited places (15-50 slots) for individual self trade in each city, for offline selling and buying.

So ppl will put their chars on offline sell or buy meanwhile playing with other character.

The market will be regulated by itself, ppl will start gethering together to sell the same materials in every place
Other ppl will gethering to buy materials, this will be very interesting.

2. And if in the future would add guild-city ownrship (guild wars for the ownrship) and let owners make changed in taxes and fees, selling slots, or extra taxes for other alliance characters. This will also give adition value. For example in 1 region there are not only 1 city but sometimes there is 1 or 2 more small vilages

3. Also I think it is important to have the option for break up forniture to get materials from them
4. Golds should drop from humanoids, and make 100% drops of crystals from magic creatures, and by making exchange points between crystals and golds, this might regulate also.

Lol!! True. I just couldn't help myself. Hehe
But still, these changes were 2 years ago, long implemented, and are about bid times changing, which was a good thing, and not about "decentralizing" the system..
Just my 2 drakes..
Huzzah!
