Guild Trader Hiring Problems

For the second week in a month, we have not been able to put a bid in on a trader due to UI errors.

This UI error was present for the 2 guild masters who were putting the bid in. Every time either one of us tried to put in a bid, this UI error popped up giving us a blank screen after we hit "X". We dealt with this for 10 minutes, trying over and over unsuccessfully until reset.

This UI error MUST be fixed. Another week without a trader is going to be devastating to our membership.

Due to the way the guild trader bid system is structured, the bid must be done in the last minutes before reset. This is because any member can see the guild bank's gold contents, and what was bid and tell their other guild where their loyalties truly lie and the other guild can then steal the trader with minimal extra investment with this information from their spy. This is RAMPANT in the ESO community.

This unfair, unethical advantage must be stopped. Several other large guilds are in agreement with us. I propose a change to where only people who have the ability to bid on the trader for the guild can see the gold contents and the bid. There is no reason every member should be able to see this information.

Our Guild Trader activity in the last 4 weeks:

Week 1: UI error stopped us from getting a bid in
Week 2: Got trader
Week 3: Spy kept track of guild bank gold contents and bid and told his guild (who lost the trader to us a week ago) this information. We lost the trader. We caught him afterwards and he admitted to this.
Week 4: UI error stopped us from getting a bid in

What will be done about this?!

    They could simply add an option for guildmasters.

    Hide guild bank balance? Y/N

    Those guilds that want full transparency can have it. Guilds that want greater security can have it and if you want the best of both worlds, you can turn off the ability to see the bank balance about 30 minutes before the bids end, put in your bid and see the result, then turn viewability back on after the history notes the win/loss and amount anyway.

    Another easy approach is to just not allow guild bank viewing at all by rank. You can set which ranks can even open the guild bank as well as which ranks can access the gold/items.

    That's a great idea with the option you mentioned above to hide guild bank balance. The guy who got us literally kept a running balance all week. Like a check register. I'm interested to see what Zenimax will do to fix this because it's really shady. The UI errors also must be fixed. I have no idea what's messed up but it cost a trader twice in a month. We have the gold to get a trader easy.

    We've been asking for a option to hide guild bids for almost a full year.
    The Devs are not willing, or not able to fix it.
    Much like long loading screens.
