Read this, and for a minute thought maybe it was April 1st.

I usually sell all my stuff to vendors, don't really see the use for gold as of yet.... at my level anyways.

I've never put a single thing up for sale in any of my guilds stores lol.

Hmmm..... not very lucrative is it?

Yes.
Outside of repairs for equipment, there's really no actual need for money in the game.

You know what would be really cool, if they added like maybe a cart or guildstore stall where other non-member of certain guilds can view and purchase wares from said guild.

Assuming you are not trolling the OP...this is already in the works. No ETA though.

Only an auction house will fix anything.

First, the tedium of zoning around trying to find buyers for all the crap you want to sell.

Then having to deal with negotiating with grimy capitalists who only want to pay 1/10 normal price and charge 3x normal price.

Even if you are in a trade guild, you only have up to 499 players (small market) that you can attempt to sell product to.

The commerce system is garbage. I want a point-and-click, easy to use auction house. I want to be able to buy individual items out of a stack of items, I want to be allowed to post Buy and Sell offers and just walk away and come back and collect my payoff. Better yet, just mail it to me.

I've liked the guild store system as well. The use of multiple healthy markets (regularly managed trading guilds) has net me over 100k so far in trading small/cheap goods over about a 2 weeks time buying overstocked items in one and selling for a fair profit in another where the item had less competition. A search function would only make it easier, so a revamp of the interface is very much wanted from me - though I'd like to keep the guild store system intact.

It's taken me a while to get to grips with the trading system in this game. It's vital to have active and well-maintained trade guilds, but when you do, it works really well. Addons are a must as well and even so the search system is horrifically clunky and sometimes it's just easier to vendor items.

I'm still a bit undecided about it all. An action house would make things a lot easier, but I can see the guild store system working if it becomes more thought out and robust. (Trade alliances. Guild bonuses towards trading and crafting. Localised taxes/benefits for each city and alliance. A black market subset when the Thieves Guild comes in.)

Another thought is that trade guilds and non-trade guilds need to be separated. They are different entities and have very different requirements from the player base. Going back to Guild bonuses, there should be some that are targetted towards different areas of the game: PvP/PvE/Dungeon & Raid/VP/Social so that guilds can start to have an identity and perhaps a progression of their own.

The other issue is that /zone chat is basically a trade channel now. I'm not lamenting the loss of general troll chat, but it can make it difficult to organise a World Boss/Dolmen formation, which is pretty vital for VR.

The Product Market is rough in ESO ... but the Labor Market is AMAZING!

I hired a band of 4 players (for an hour) to remain hidden in and then come out and play music/dance over the people I ganked in Cyrodiil.

It's rare to find so much willing labor in an MMO.

Must be a big achievement for you, playing with 4 other people and celebrating after killing a level 10

Flagged for trolling/flaming.

(PS they were my cheer leading band and did not participate in the fighting)

The UI, at this stage, is very disappointing. Sure, it can be worked around - but from the search throttles to the lack of search utility - just all the way around it is very rough indeed.

Not sure why this hasn't been front burnered.
