So, I quit before the 30 days are up.

StuppyJoe

Here is why I quit. I'm not trying to start a debate or to win one, I've already quit. It's done. I gave away my gold. Gone. This is just an 'fyi' for the game makers:
-I play solo and, in theory, this should be my dream game.
-Forcing guilds to be the primary trade mechanism completely undermines their social function. As a solo player, I don't want to be forced to join a guild just to trade.
-Ofc I could join multiple guilds, some trade some social. Here's the thing, the guilds are all TRADE. All of them. There's not a single guild willing to disavow trade as a primary purpose.
I can get over being perpetually lost or overwhelmed by lore. I can't get over the current guild/trade set up. So...I'm out. It's done. Gold gone, account cancelled. Major flaw, not fixed. I'm gone. Bye.

You are quitting because you can't find a non trade guild? Thats it? If you play solo why do you even want a guild other than for trade? But aside from that it is simply not the case that the primary purposes for all guilds is for trade.

StuppyJoe

I'm quitting because 1) I don't want to be forced to join a guild just to trade; and 2) even solo players want some social chat beyond trade.

Not all guilds are trading guilds.....
But then again I'm not a fan of it either atm. 500 players to sell my stuff to doesn't seem like a lot, especially when they are not all active.

LoL. I run a non trade guild, does that help?

Though it sounds like you like to stand on soapboxes & make your opinion known, because you feel everyone needs to know it. Sounds kinda drama queenish to me, maybe it ain't, who knows.

Then again 90% my guild are mutes I think, lol. Those that are vocal are usually in vent with us.

No, he's quitting because he feels like he's being forced to join a guild just to trade.

Regardless of how many people love the guild stores, there are a group of people that absolutely despise them.

I'm not quitting but I think guild stores are one of the worst features i've seen in an MMO to date .... and i've played a LOT of MMO's.

This feature will be adjusted sometime in the future.

I'm fine with closing this thread. I'm not trying to start a debate, just say goodbye and why.

I was going to say "get ready for the fanboi defense force to rip you up" but see it has already begun. Negative opinions from paying customers are not allowed on these forums.

Bye.

As a solo player, your dream game is an MMO?
You seem to have some sort of internal conflict here.

Have you tried going into the forums or other fan sites to find guilds based on community rather than economy?

I will admit that Zenimax has made a mistake in not allowing players to go to Keeps in Cyrodiil to purchase from guild store fronts.
Instead, guild mates are supposed to sell to each other to make profit rather than the rest of the community.

What ever happened to guild pride?

StuppyJoe

It's wasted. The account was cancelled before I made the thread. I just wanted to explain to the game makers cause it's a potentially awesome game. The whole guild trade thing doesn't work.

I'm already gone, just posting here as an fyi. Save your energy.

Elsonso

One reason people create these threads is they hope to be talked out of it.

There are other reasons, but it is one reason.

The OP sounds like that sort of guy. The more people say they want to not start a discussion, they more they do.

If you want an opinion.... I hate guilds too. I do not belong to any. I am a solo player, primarily. I am sticking around.

Valco

He said save our energy guys! That means he doesn't want us posting on his thread anymore. I will abide by his last request right now!

So you will abide by his request to not post in his thread ..... by posting in his thread.

JJDrakken

He posted this, cuz he wants attention. Be it positive or negative or whatever. That's what it comes down too for majority of the peeps who post these.
