Guild History Turned Off - Sept. 4

Due to an issue where guild trader bidding history was visible to those without the appropriate guild permissions, we are temporarily turning off ALL guild history information. Unfortunately the fix for this issue cannot be hotfixed, so it will go out at the next earliest possible time: the incremental patch for PC on Sept. 15 and for consoles on Sept. 16.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

    Hi all, here is some additional info for the change noted above. This was added to the discussion thread here.
    Hi everyone, thank you for raising questions here. We'd like to give a little more context around this issue, what our options are/were, and why we made the decision we did to address it. When we identified that guild trader bid history information was visible to everyone in the guild, regardless of permissions, we immediately jumped on it and looked into what our options are. We determined that this issue is not hotfixable. We also do not currently have the ability to single out and turn off a single element of the guild history log such as guild trader bid history.

    Our options to address this issue are/were 1) leave the issue as-is until the next incremental patch on Sept. 15 for PC and Sept. 16 for consoles or 2) temporarily turn off guild history until the fix is live. We were also getting word that guild trader bid information was being circulated among the community, increasing the likelihood that information would be used to cause disruption and harm to trading guilds (such as trade guilds losing out on traders for a week). In weighing our options and considering the impact of both - and with the understanding that both options have some degree of undesirable impact - we chose to go with option 2. Please know we did not make this decision lightly.

    We did make an additional adjustment this morning to account for some errant activity log info that was still coming through. Also, guild history info is stored on the back-end for 30 days, so the information will be there for you when we turn guild history back on Sept. 15/ Sept. 16.
