The guild trader system SUCKS!

EQBallzz · April 2015

Sorry but this system for trading just blows. I'm in 4 established trading guilds that have been around a while. For the last month or more it's been impossible to maintain all 4 because at least one of them loses the bid on any given week. The last three weeks it's been two guilds losing their bids each week. With no guild trader there is almost no sales. I have no control over this arbitrary blind bidding process except donating thousands of gold to raffles (not to mention the gold tax from sales) that I may or may not see back in sales if there ends up being no trader. It basically puts me in the situation of making a choice between loyalty to my guilds but not being able to consistently sell things or trying to guild hop around to keep my traders up (and losing my deposits in the process). Is this supposed to be fun? Who thought up this system? A masochist?

Trading is one of the last things I have left to do and that is quickly becoming more trouble than it's worth. I understand that there won't be an AH implemented but Is there anything in the works to fix or improve this shoddy trading system of frustration? A revamp or adding more guild traders at the very least?

Again yet?

Give people time to find new pros and cons of the current trading system. Last big discussion was only a few days ago.

EQBallzz - There are dozens and dozens of topics already on this, along with dozens of polls about what the players want in place of it.

We really don't need another one of these threads. Just search for "Auction" in the search box and you'll find all of them.

I don't really care about what you think we need. I'm not asking for an AH. I'm asking if there are any plans to improve this system because I know they aren't adding an AH. The fact that there are lots of these threads might just be an indication that it needs immediate attention...perhaps.
