Guildmaster issues and the change in the system that socialbans you immediately

Mathius_Mordred

We just gave up and created a website which details all events and news in one place. It's then up to the players to read it if they want to or not. ZoS clearly don't give a hoot about guilds, there are very few admin systems in the game and the ones that are there are becoming progressively more bugged. I also run 16 fleets (guilds) in Star Trek Online and whilst that is also lacking in many areas it is far superior to ESO in guild management, including guild mail, bank permissions per rank and so on, but even there most important news has to go on the website.

I would love for a Dev to actually be a guild master and see what a stinking pile of horse manure their system is right now. Maybe Microsoft will make a difference but I doubt it.

As a person who would prefer the AH...

Zos, if the Trader System IS what you want, you have an Obligation to make it work properly. Denying GMs the tools to simply contact their players is not acceptable.

Mailing system would be a good start

I played a simple browser game 10 years ago that a mailing function where you could select members or roles to send a a mass mail to. That way you send 1 mail to a lot at the same time without spamming the server with a ton of mail request to handle, but just 1. Plus it's a lot easier on the guild leader.

Maybe ZOS should allow guildleaders to send a guildwide message, like the ZOS server message(chat and middlescreen). Players will see it, or get to see it when they first log in. Give this a limit, like once every 48 hours to prevent GM-spam and server-strain. And only the final message will be shown, all others will be discarded. Otherwise players that were offline for a while would be spammed with guild messages when they log in again.

Would seem like a great solution to me, and it reaches all guildmembers at once.

Anyone can please share how guild management in other MMOS?

Godawful.

Theres reasons we had to use forums and now why everyone uses discord servers with multiple bots.

There is not now and never will be a guild management tool that will replace external tools for massive amounts of information transfer / storage.

I absolutely agree. Running a guild shouldn't become a full time job.

Running a guild in an MMO isnt a full-time job, its 4 or 5 full-time jobs, at a minimum.

I handled loot calls for a guild in EQ and WoW, and that alone was a job in itself (thankfully, thats largely automatable with a discord bot for EQ, and addons + discord bot for WoW), and that wasnt even near a fraction of the work involved on a daily basis behind the scenes, plus the things nobody thinks of until you're already going (you basically need a full-time psychologist on hand if you're competitively doing anything).


That said, ESO could do a lot of stuff a lot better. Not having a perfect answer isnt an excuse for not having better options.

heads up : do not mail guildies for witches event - like play together etc.. you get social ban
