Information on Guild Traders
Would you like an annual release on guild trader information for each guild trader, for example; average amount of the winning bids, average number of guild bids on a weekly basis, average weekly sales.

Yeah, that'd be interesting to evaluate. It'd also help out newer guilds know where to spend their guilds gold.

No way, it'd probably increase prices people spend on guild traders.

I'd like it, but at the same time I have reservations and can't decide.

I'd only want some of that information public.

theher0not✭✭✭✭✭guild data as a whole: yes
But I don't want data for all members on their own to go public.0 -

✭Where is the option for just plain no. A blind system is supposed to be just that, blind. You shouldn't know any of that. There is definitely no need to know it.
You bid on the trader and you either win or lose, that's all there is to it. Come back next week and try again if you lost.1 -
AndrewQ84✭✭✭While it would be interesting to see this information, I can see how this would quickly start to inflate prices. If people know what guilds are paying for their traders, counter offers will start happening. Guilds will have to pay more for their spaces, which in turn means higher prices. I am already laughing hard at some of the prices people charge for some things, I don't want to cry when I have to pay large amounts of coin for something that used to be cheap. Of course, this is speculative, but the reasoning is sound. At the same time, although, the non trade guilds could easily see where the most trading is done and avoid having to run around all over the place to find the most popular traders. Saves time on finding items.Sa'hira of the Shadows, DC Nightblade and ruins explorer extraordinaire.

✭I'd like to see how much gold is spent(sales, not bids) and how much views each trader had. I don't think releasing the average bid is fair for guilds that won bids. But sure, I would like to see that, too

It'd just take more money out of the economy, and would probably contribute to more deflation. The guild traders are a huge gold sink, the thing that prevents massive inflation to prices of goods. So if the prices of guild traders rise, it makes just as much sense to think that the prices of goods would decrease as well, after all guild traders have to compete with the randoms who blast zone chat.0 -

I was thinking views, but I figured they probably don't keep track of that. I mean it's over a year long period that it'd be released so odds are that the best spots would have experienced some inflation on their bids.0
