Ah okay so TTC is the auction house then. This makes sense. At least it conslidates stuff because man this guild store system seems something out 90's Ragnorok online... but minus merchant npc's. Mmm. Central Guildstore npc would be nice if that ever happened. Would make finding one item easier instead of jumping thru world price hunting and spending most of the day on it.

Keep in mind that the easier stuff is to 'find' - the easier it is to get found by the guys spending more time looking for stuff than you do, which means sought after stuff will just be gone faster.
An auction house, or central clearing location for stuff being sold is a mixed bag, not a solution.

True but I would be able pull the item I need then sort by price then buy it from the guild that offers the better price no?
At least there is TTC X_X. Guess I can work around this system a little bit, just disappointing how time consuming it is.

it is more time wasting than consuming, I havn't seen worse trade system in online game than here and it is supported with so many addons at all to be better...
this is artificial use of players time giving ilosion you are playing game when you are literally just wasting your play time just to find single item you are looking for
and now example for xonsoles without addons...you want to look for rarer item and you dont even know if it is listed anywhere and or you will be lucky finding it early or you just give up early or you waste hours by looking at literally every possible trader just to try to find this single item

Oh man if you're on PS system or Xbox I feel for them. I would just dump game if there was no TTC. Not worth my time to travel to each trader manually checking. I feel for them more now holy crap. I forget they get no addons...

SeaGtGruff wrote: »A centralized board that shows real-time listings from all guilds-- automatically "scanned in" as they're put up for sale in the guild stores of those guilds who've won a trader, and automatically updated as items are sold-- would be awesome. I rather doubt it would be doable-- it would probably melt the servers, or at the very least would be prone to lagging and freezing that is exponentially longer than the occassional lagging and freezing that can happen while you're trying to deposit something into a guild bank-- but it would be awesome if it were doable.
It would not be a replacement of the individual guild stores, just a utility to make them more usable. I mean, if the only way the existing system is bearable is to have add-ons and external websites that let you search across multiple guild stores, then how can those people who argue for leaving things as they are, while they themselves are using those add-ons and external websites, possibly expect the rest of us to believe them when they say that the existing system is fine as it is?
That's like saying the existing plain-vanilla UI is fine as it is and doesn't need any QOL improvements, but then turning around and installing gobs and gobs of add-ons that completely change the UI. Oh, wait, no one who uses add-ons is saying that the existing plain-vanilla UI is fine as it is? Hmm, I wonder why not.

My question is, why limit the amount of people who can buy and sell through guild traders? Why not have a central auction house so the entire player base has a fair chance of selling stuff.
Makes more sense to me.

I know each zone has a single or 2 more traders in out of the way towns or in the thieves den but I’m not going there. Half way thru the zone list, I figure out what the prices average for the items I’m looking for then either circle back for a cheap items I’m looking for or continue on til I’m done shopping all zones. This is time consuming.
I honestly miss the bazaar system in EQ or the tunnel live shouting system. I don’t miss Wow central auction house.

For some reason ZOS thought it was important to limit the amount of people who can sell through a guild trader to 98,500.
There are 197 Guild Traders in game with 500 member slots each.
197x500=98500 Guild Trader player slots available
except that everyone can be in 5 guilds. I am in 5 trade guilds, so I take 5 of those slots, or 4 extra.
If everyone in game who did trading had 5 trade guilds there would only be 19,700 people trading at guild traders. Of course not everyone has 5 guild traders, but many do have 3. Which would then limit the amount of individual players who are using guild traders to 32,833.
I often see it promoted that this game is super healthy, making tons of money and has a player base of about 3 million. Divide that 3 million by 4 for PCNA, PCEU, XBOX, and PS and you have 750,000 players per server type on average. This means that roughly 700,000 people will not be allowed to trade at guild traders.

You're forgetting at least two things.
One, you don't require a trader to use the guild store. The trader simply opens up the store to the entire population. Without one, the guild store is still fully functional for all members of that guild.
Two, membership turnover. People don't just join a trade guild and stay for eternity. Matter of fact, most trade guilds have various policies to prevent that. Membership dues, sales quotas, inactivity limitations, etc. The 500 members of SuperDuperTradersInc today is not the same 500 members of SuperDuperTradersInc a year ago. If trade guilds simply filled up and that was the end of it, then there would be no trade guilds at all doing any recruiting today. Would take all of two minutes for anyone to prove that that's simply not the case.
