Yep... things have really moved on I see. Now we are getting chat spammed with guilds advertising their own guild stores !
So now we have all the usual WTS notifications AND all the new "go to guild store X in (insert city)"
And now we have to run all over the map trying to find the stores of the guild we 'might' want to buy from instead of having an easily accessible location ?
Sorry but whether we ever get one of not, this games economy should have been based around an AH system !
For all the good things in update 1.3 this certainly isn't one of them !

Covyn✭✭✭I've yet to log in and see what has occurred, but this was expected. I do however understand what they were attempting with the guild shops in different locations, an attempt at immersion by having them set up all over the place. They want the game to feel "real", but their customers want convenience LOL!
Such is the way. Will check it out to see how much they botched this time around and then probably park again until 1.4.... The bug threads already don't look promising.....Gyxx (VR1) Templar

rynth✭✭✭✭✭lol you really don't know MMO's if you are getting upset about people spamming wtb, wts, lfg, spamming their own guilds in zone chat lol it will never ever stop happening more than likely. lolWhen asked what he would do for a Klondike bar.

✭✭✭✭✭Just put the spammers on ignore. I don't want to buy from anyone who feels the need to peddle their warez in the zone chat anyways.
I actually like the fact that i can randomly browse through guild stores now just about anywhere.
And the store of my main guild has seen a huge boost in activity since i found a trader for it last night.

Covyn✭✭✭Is it really that hard for them to introduce a trade channel? Would it stop all of it? No....but it would stop most of it as many players do actually respect peoples "don't spam me" wishes.Gyxx (VR1) Templar

Yes.Is it really that hard for them to introduce a trade channel?
In fact there are difficulties you could not even begin understand and I could not explain to a non-programmer/non-administrator.
If they truly spam, you can report them for it. Spam is spam, wheter it is "lfg", "wts", "join us" or "find our guildstore at".Yep... things have really moved on I see. Now we are getting chat spammed with guilds advertising their own guild stores !

If you don't think it is worth a report (you aren't that annoyed by it), then it is propably not spam.

If a trader has no guild yet, you can hire him/her immediately.
The bidding only starts after a trader has been assigned to a guild ...

aipex8_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Although I've finally found a trade guild that's awesome and has a great store, I've joined and quit many since launch that were just full of junk that should have been sold to a vendor! The guild trade booths that I've visited so far have been the junk filled variety. Admittedly, that's only been 3 or 4, but it's kind of dashed my hopes of a big boost to trading.Edited by aipex8_ESO on August 7, 2014 8:27PM1 -

Actually, no.
As someone who has a lot of experience in programming and systems administration, it's a very simple and easy option to implement.
I'd speculate that the only reason they haven't, is simply because Trade channels in MMOs are simply a waste of time. Since most users turn it off by default, a substantial majority of sellers and buyers post to Zone chat anyway, because they know Trade chat is being ignored.Edited by DenverRalphy on August 7, 2014 8:30PM3 -

✭I always see /zone as a questions and trade channel anyway. It's not like anything else said there is in anyway worth reading. I keep zone and yell off because most of it isn't trade stuff, it's idiots debating politics or making *** jokes etcDear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.2 -

UPrime✭✭✭✭Global trade channel is actually a bad idea. Which is why ZOS probably decided against it.
1. People spam their ads in BOTH, Trade and Zone because they get more people that way.
2. It would be way too much chatter because the number of people on there.
3. In other games, global chat systems become the defacto chats for a lot of people just because there were more people on there.0 -

Many of us are indeed programmers, you know. Seeing how they have all kinds of channels already, I don't see how it could be difficult to set up another one. We have /zone, three language specific zones, five guilds, and of course /say, /yell and whispers, so please tell us, what would be the technical difficulties in creating, say, a /trade channel for the chat window, and make it possible to mute it? If there was a separate channel. all messages about selling, buying or trading could be kept there.

✭people would announce trade stuff in zone anyway. I know I would, to reach all the people who had trade turned off.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.0 -
ExiledKhallisi✭✭✭✭✭Agreed. AH system would work best for ESO.

✭One thing I noticed since the Guild Kiosks was whenever I type a "WTS X" message in zone chat, I'm spammed with Trade Guild invites -_-'
It's almost as if they have a program that detects text like "WTS" in messages that auto-invites or something, they're damn fast :PI'm a man of few words. Any questions?NA/PC server0 -
