Guild Trader Cheat/Exploit?

Just found a guild trader owned by a guild that I know has a guild trader elsewhere, making them own 2.
Should I report it? Will anything even get done?

This is what annoys me about Guild Traders in general. Guilds are now making 2nd or even 3rd versions of their name (example, The Guild I, and The Guild II) and taking all the guild trader spots and they still selling the same rubbish as their others.

They NEED to allow us to have a guild trader at our houses to at least to give everyone a chance because literally everywhere sells the same stuff and it is boring as hell, and it will also give smaller guilds the chance to sell their things. Even if I have to pay the default 10k gold to keep it there each week I wouldn't mind.

Currently gathering screenshots although it has the name of the guild and I might not be allowed to post on here.

    Posting a guild name is fine, but look very closely. there is probably the smallest difference in spelling. That bug has never cropped up before to my knowledge.

    So how can you qualify a guild trader that wants to have a 2nd guild with mostly similar name in order to accommodate beyond the 500 member limit? And one in which they bid and won another location. You're saying this is not allowed?

    What I'm saying is there is one guild that owns 2 traders.

    I thought id mention the other thing about guilds making 2nd versions while on the subject of traders. While I agree that's fair, of course it is, its just stupid because they sell the same stuff. They're being greedy.

    100% certain.

    Lets find out.

    The guild is called TEAM B0DNER. They own a trader in Elden Root and in the Elden Root Outlaws Refuge. Spelt the same both times. Except the trader in the refuge just says (Guild Trader)

    To you, it is stupid. But I think you just have a problem with the fact that other people have twice the chance of getting their wares sold.

    For others, it's smart placement into the trader system. Usually similar named guilds have members in both, which allows them to not only sell 30 items, but rather have a 60 limit.

    Guild trading system sucks. I'm not really a big trader but I do have stuff to sell. To sell in a good spot I need to get in a rich trading guild and sell x amount per week. To sell in a smaller guild in a bad spot I have to hope that the guild keeps it's spot and hope people find the stuff I have to sell.

    My ideal would be a main city market at the weekends where you can list say 10 items for just the weekend at a stall. They could even make it an ESO+ perk to be able to list 20 items. Your items are only on sale for that weekend and if they don't sell you've lost your listing fee.

    Power sellers would love it becuase they'd get to pick up all the bargains from people who don't normally have access to a trader. I'd love it because I could be an occasional seller without being a slave to a trade guild.

    And it takes up two of the 5 guild slots,
    Prefer an guild with both an premium trader and do lots of other stuff.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Taking up two guild slots is not an issue. For some people, it is preferable. To you, it won't work as you would like to fill your guild slots with something else. However, for high volume traders, filling up two guild slots is actually a positive thing.

    There are certain individuals. That exploit and cheat the trader system each week. In doing so it bugs the guild trader notice out for every other guild. ( PS4 EU ) many guilds have been reporting this, yet nothing seems to get done about it and this alliance continues to use fake guilds and fake accounts to exploit the system.
