Hello,

[snip]Anyway, no one can go to maintance when ever u want. This is an online game [snip] . if u wanne go to a maintance, u must mail to all players one day before. İf u need an emerge maintance on Thuesday at 03.00 AM, u must change the day of" guild trader" last bidding time. i woke up at 03.00 am for bidding and saw a silly maintance which must be at 04.00. İs this joke. Online gaming have some rules and everybody must obey this. This is a serius job. With your fool behavior i cant uprise the Trader at Craglorn. My guild is an serius Trading guild and we lost more than 40million gold that week. This Money is not a small amount. we have 500peopleand they are serius players. They like ESO. But your ... team avoid us playing the game. Be like a MAN...

    I think this is a complaint about bidding time being very near the server shut down time for regular maintenance? It's hard to parse through all the snips.....

    If so, you'd find agreement there from lots of people. Having the bidding time end right as the server is shutting down is far from ideal. As far as I know, guild leaders have been providing this bit of feedback for two years.

    Or perhaps this post is about the fact that bid times follow a UTC time rather than daylight savings time? It took me some time to get used to that as well.

    Beyond the almost indecipherable text of the OP, you realize the TOS you agreed to says they can turn the servers off whenever they like, right? Those are the actual "rules" you refer to, not whatever expectations you may have on your own.

    You know how typically you can read a bunch of misspelled words and poor grammer and still basically make out what the person is trying to say?

    Well, not in this case.

    Let me try:
    Anyway, no one can go to maintance when ever u want. This is an online game [snip] . if u wanne go to a maintance, u must mail to all players one day before.

    It's unfair to players to have unscheduled maintenance. This is a MMO which has a lot of players. You should respect those players by giving them 24 hours notice of maintenance.
    İf u need an emerge maintance on Thuesday at 03.00 AM, u must change the day of" guild trader" last bidding time. i woke up at 03.00 am for bidding and saw a silly maintance which must be at 04.00. İs this joke. Online gaming have some rules and everybody must obey this. This is a serius job.

    If you have an emergency maintenance for the server that coincides with the bidding deadline you should move the bidding deadline till after the server has been reset. This ensures those who were planning on bidding at the last minute before bidding ends have a chance to put the highest bid in. You should take your job seriously as game developers and schedule your emergencies more conveniently.
    With your fool behavior i cant uprise the Trader at Craglorn. My guild is an serius Trading guild and we lost more than 40million gold that week.

    I lost the guild trader in craglorn this week for my active trading guild. I am assuming this cost us at least 40,000,000 gold from my previous weeks profit and loss sheets.
    This Money is not a small amount. we have 500peopleand they are serius players.

    My controller has informed me that our liquid assets will dip below market evaluation of our guild and we may face a higher leverage amount than we forecast. This may lead to a global meltdown, as we are "too big to fail". I think we may need a ZOS bailout here.

    Maintenances are almost always first thing on Mondays, just get used to it. It is the rare Monday that we don't have a maintenance. It has been this way since game launch.

    Should the Kiosk Bid window close at a different more convenient time? Sure, but at who's convenience? Pick the time zones that gets the convenient time, get all players to buy into that and then suggest that time to ZOS
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    From what I gather after the snips made this hard to read:

    The OP says the Servers went down in or around the last moments to bid for the post, and this screwed his entire guild over for a cost of about 40 million gold.

    He is saying this is a violation of basic courtesy normally granted by most mmo's, and he's pretty pissed about it. He further suggests the game should send out mail about scheduled maintenance or do something to make the patterns of maintenance/emergency maintenance not occur at this crucial bid time.(since 500 people per guild are dependent upon the reliability of their spot)

    My response: There is no reason the maintenance couldn't have been pushed 15 minutes further out for the sake of gameplay consistency, thus this was a mistake made by ZOS. Do I think they are required to do so? No. Do I expect them to heed the OP? No. Do I think they care about it? No. I think you should chalk it up to real life RNG. Sometimes you just get screwed.

    I assume this would negatively impact the guild's bond rating. I'd like to see the forecasted downstream impact for the next 6 quarters.
