Exactly the game servers crash constantly. We are prevented from even playin the game half the time. And when we do actually get into it and aren't stuck in a "Unusually Long Load Time" the game doesn't support the communities we the players strive to build. It's been 3 years. Most guilds have simply moved to other games because this one refuses to support its own communities development.

The year ahead by its very nature is a promise to the community.

Rubbish, it's a statement of their current plans and expectations.

When a company announces something that it plans to do, it is a promise to the community that it impacts.

Rubbish, it's a statement of their current plans and expectations, but it isn't set in stone. Even when something gets put on the PTS it's subject to change or withdrawal. Developers are entitled to change their minds over things or re-arrange their priorities without players accusing them of lying or breaking promises the whole time.

This is a company. And as such it's every word to its paying customers is a promise. If it says it's going to do something then doesn't do it, they have failed to keep their integrity as a company. This isn't a person who simply gave their word and then broke it. This is an entity whose sole value relies on its ability to deliver said promises.

I dont mind when plans change in an mmo. And i dont really see it as a promise. But at the same time it is very bad form to put something out as here is what we are working on. And then Never mention it again. It is poor communication and makes you look bad.

The game is fun which is why I am still here. The guild tools are a catastrophe still. However, what have they added in the last year isn't. They need to stop all content for 6 months and do nothing but fix the broken crap. I understand balance but why are they still changing NUMEROUS skills every patch. A few here and there I could understand but they totally change the game every 6 months. Just stop already...fix them right the first time and you won't have this problem. Stop with the half axx fixes.

The issue isn't "half a** fixes".

This issue is "over fixing".

Stop lurching from one extreme to the other. Tweaks should be relatively small and filtered in incrementally, give those tweaks time to bed in and then collect more data to add to the whole data-set. Rinse repeat.

But as long as no more than 5-10% of total skills (variables) are effected in any iteration, and the changes are all within the +/-5% range then you can make meaningful progress across each iteration.

Huge changes that see 10%+ of variables changed by +/-20% or more mean that all existing data is essentially useless, and so a whole raft of new data needs to be collected and analysed. Which means TIME. Time when players are left playing a game that has just radically changed but is nowhere nearer to getting fixed; and that means increased player frustration.

Attempts by MMORPG companies to "fix everything for everyone, every patch" invariably fail.

All The Best

Game imbalances aside. What would be the harm in implementing some of the following:

List of needed changes for guild management:

- Longer MOTD x4
● In a 500 member guild that runs raffles, PvE and PvP events along with anything else that might happen to be going on the MOTD is way to short. The editor could use a little love too.

- Ability to buy/sell ranks (with timers and cool downs)
● This one is probably gonna get some hate. Let me just sat I love this idea. Being on console sort of sucks because ZOS let pc players come over with such huge amounts of end game items, pc transfers literally have billions on console. So they can pretty much gtab whatever trader they want. To compensate for that traders in some areas go for as much as 5 million a week. Yes 5 million a week.

- Kick specific guildies from chat (timed/ cooldowns)
● Imagine a Guildie has gone afk but forgot to mute their mic. Nothing kills a chat faster than that.

- See total gold/items donated in member notes.
● This is just useful.

-Ability to see items specific members have listed in guild store in member notes.
● For trade guilds this would be amazing. You can not only see how many items a guildie has listed but what they are.

- Black list players.
● Some players just need to go.

- Show dungeon roles of guildies.
● Looking for a tank? Found one.

-Show characters list of guildies.
● This one isn't exactly useful. But it is pretty neat.

-Show join date.
● Ever want to know who is new and who isn't when you join a guild?

-More ranks.
● Seriously we just need more.

- More tabbard customizations.
● With a game that has as much history as ESO you would think there would be more art available for this.

- Last online date.
● Why isn't this already a thing?

- About us x4 larger
● Same reasons as the MOTD.

- Change chat channel names.
● Probably the first thing most people say when I ask them what they would like to see changed.

- Guild timeline.
● It's always nice to see a good timeline.

- Guild events/calendar.
● The ability for players and officers to Schedule events and plan them out is the bread and butter of a good guild. Lets make that a bit easier yeah?

- Guild mail.
● I know, MOTD does this. But what if you need to send out a message to to a specific ranks of people?

- Raffel chests.
● So many guilds run raffles. Would it be nice if the game help support that.

- Member spotlights.
● Ever want to do a shout out to a guildie that is always super helpful?

- Guildies wearing same tabbard glow green.
● This would help loyal guildies identify one another from a distance. Obviously it would have to be on a toggle.

- Ability to set price range of specific items for listing in entire guild store.
● This one is going to get some real hate. Lol. But honestly if it's abused leave that guild. The more control a GM has over a guild the better they can manage it.

- Add average listed prices for items in that particular guild store when listing.
● I don't understand why this isn't a thing already.

- Ability to removed specific listed items of other members from guild store without kicking them.
● Ever see a guildie list something way below market price yet have other items of the same thinges listed at current price?

- Guild text chat rooms.
● Some player simply can't talk. I have a few in my guild, this would fix that issue.

- Ability to edit own member notes. /Can edit notes of specific ranks.
● The ability to edit notes is cool but is just to broad a sword to let most people use.

- Fix the guild roster so it doesn't scroll when a player gets on or offline while viewing it.
● Yeah that " fix" for spamming the message rate cause more issues than it solved.

- Make the guild history scroll like the guild roster to prevent getting kicked while checking it. Also make it and guild roster refresh only when you exit it's menu.
● Getting kicked for nothing sucks. But having to tap a button 50000 times sucks more.

- Ability to allow members (other than guild master) edit heraldry (tabbard)
● Have the GM as the only person to do this is just ridiculous. Why not let a whole rank be able to do it?

- Allow Guild Master to adjust the tax percent of sales.
● YES, I know this could be abused. Leave that guild if they do. But this could be done instead of having membership dues.

- Allow guildies to be in guild chat and group chat at the same time. (Allow any 2 chats channels at once.)
● Why isn't this a thing already?

- Seperate gold deposits and items deposits in guild bank history.
● Guild history is great. You know what else is great the ability to sort through it all.

- Suspend currently listed items if guild member loses Guild Trader access. Items are not viewable by the public until Trader access has been restored.
● Currently if a guildie looses selling privileges all their stuff stays up for sale. This allows people to get acess then not pay mbership fees again until they want to reliat. It's abusing the way the current system works.

- See group that guildies are in a group and request to join that group.
● Sometimes you try and group with someone and they are already in a group.. why doesn't the general send that nm person a notification to allow them to join that current group?

They should cut the number of guilds down to 1 and allow eso plus members 2 extra guild slots. Lol.
