2 extra Guild Slots

Massive_Stain · January 2018

I heard somewhere that this is coming in dragon bones? I'm probably wrong, but I'm in 5 active trials guilds and I have 1 more that wants me, and I would like a trading guild... Is this happening or is the person that told me that wrong?

jlboozer · January 2018

Although I would love to have 2 more guild slots, there is nothing in the patch notes about adding more.

RobbieRocket · January 2018

As the guy above said, plainly WRONG.

Additionally this would require balancing. Personally, I think 7 would be too many. I also think it would unsettle the trader use and guild-creation and have a knock-on effect on game dynamics concerning guilds, trading and opportunities.

Ermiq · January 2018

There will be one more purchasable character slot (last patch note on PTS). Nothing was said about guild slots.

Turelus · January 2018

As others have said no new guild slots are coming but there will be new character slots sold.

Nermy · January 2018

5 is already TOO many if you ask me.

idk · January 2018

Doubt we will ever have more than 5 guild slots. It is very much not needed.

Carbonised · January 2018

The only people who say we don't need more guilds are those who obviously don't do a lot of guild trading.

Getting access to a guild trader in a zone is only done via guilds, and you can only have 1 trader per guild. I am in 5 trade guilds, 2 in Craglorn, 1 in Mournhold, 1 in Rawlkha and 1 in Wayrest, the best trading spots in the game, and even having 5 traders isn't enough to sell all my stuff.

And that leaves me with 0 spots for social guilds, PvE guilds, PvP guilds or whatever.

So please don't say that "there is no need for more guilds" just because you do zero trading yourself, and therefore dont need a large amount of trade guild memberships.

Elsonso · January 2018

The limit of 5 guilds will likely persist to the end of the game.

SisterGoat · January 2018

5 guilds is plenty, but 500 members is barely enough.

5 is never enough for those cheap buyers and expensive resellers

But if you look at it on the other hand, one might say you do an excessive amount of guild trading. You should be turning over at least 50% of your stuff within 24 hours at bare min, which means you would be adding 75 items a day. That is pretty excessive.

If your not selling at least 75 items a day, id say you have a major pricing problem or your putting up a lot of junk. If you are putting up that many a day then i would say you play an excessive amount to acquire that much stuff in one day to sell. By excessive, i mean compared to the average player.

vyndral13preub18_ESO · January 2018

I would really just like to see the number of sell slot allocated per guild upped to like 50 from 30. I don’t really want the same high dollar players stuffed into more guilds hogging up more prime guild locations. Just relax the amount of items they can put up per guild. Then you don’t need as many locations to sell your items

Well thank you for telling me how to sell my stuff, I don't really need those kinds of tips.

And thank you for telling me how much or how little I should play the game, I didn't know I needed another mum to tell me to get off the PC any more.

So if you look at it on the other hand, you might realise that not all of us have the same needs when it comes to guilds, and I'd like to have my play time and my play style be my prerogative and not yours, if you don't mind.

jcaceresw · January 2018

I hope they add the option to buy 2 guild slots with crowns like they do with character slots. That way, people who thinks 5 slots are enough can stay with them but people who wants more can benefit from these 2 new slots.

RABIDxWOLVERINE · January 2018

Id like more guild slots. I currently have a trials/dungeon guild, 2 traders, 1 social and am looking for a PVP guild. In all honestly Id like to have 1 or 2 more slots for trials or social guilds to expand the amount of activities I'm exposed to. Its not 100% needed but Id greatly appreciate it.

Where did you get these numbers from? I did not know there was a certain number of items I had to sell a day

Apache_Kid · January 2018

Would love to have just 1 more guild slot. I tend to join newer guilds a lot that need help getting off the ground by offering crafting services to members and then leaving after a bit of time when they get off the ground. That I do this kind of restricts me in having a guild for all the parts of the game that I enjoy as I have a social guild, a trading guild, a housing guild, and a PvP guild along with the guild I'm trying to help start-up. I would really like to have a spot for a trials guild.

I think you missed the point. My point was there is only a very tiny fraction of the player base that THINKS they need more guilds. And its almost always those that want to be big traders. But if you look at the trade system in this, its actually to limit the exact type of excessive trading behavior that is so prevalent in many games.

We dont need more guilds because we dont need traders to have more power. 5 guilds is plenty and you have to choose what is more important to you. You chose trade, obviously. At some point, doing something other than trading may be more important to you. In which you will drop a trade guild to do something else.

I actually consider 5 guilds to be generous. I would of went with three if i were with the devs that developed the system. One for pvp, pve, and trading.

Beardimus · January 2018

I certainly need 1/2 more.

IRL mates
PvP
Traders x 3
Trials/PvE

bellatrixed · January 2018

The thing is, some other games allow you to create custom chat channels which removes the need for "some" guilds. I used to be in a guild just to keep in touch with my RL friends without having to group... and had to drop it for "real" guilds.

And, in lots of other games, guilds are bound to character and not account, which allows for greater diversity.

Finally, not everyone who wants more guild slots wants to monopolize trading and take over the market or whatever the fear is.

I am a RPer and not only are there themed RP guilds for various groups, there are also hub guilds where you can join to meet RPers of a certain faction/RP type.

Then there are trade guilds, already discussed. And then there are PVP guilds, and PVE guilds, and social/casual guilds.

At the moment I am in 2 trade guilds, 2 RP guilds, and 1 RP hub guild. I would sure like to join a PVE guild too but I can't. And there are a lot of other RP guilds I'd like to invest in, since I have the characters for them, but my hands are tied.

I'm disappointed to hear there are no plans to add more, because it's a quality of life request pretty much everyone I know in game wants. If there is truly a fear of trade guilds "taking over" then they could allow us to flag guilds as a certain type and allow an account to be in no more than 5 trade guilds or something.

Excellent point. The cap of 5 guilds/account is LOW compared to almost any other game.

heaven13 · January 2018

I agree about wanting/needing more. I'm currently in 5: 2 trading, 1 crafting/pve, 1 IRL friends, and the last is a mostly defunct crafting guild. It's the first I joined and I'm an officer (and pretty much the only one regularly on) but I'm still friendly with a few members that drop in here and there and am not ready to drop it yet. Am considering it though. Now that I am more familiar with the game and branching out some, I'd like to see about finding a PVP guild and possibly a trials guild (one that's newbie friendly, lol) but since I don't have the space for either, I haven't even looked. And that doesn't take into account RP guilds which, because of my lack of space and altaholic/multi-alliance character bank, I haven't even considered.

People that want more guilds aren't all ones who want to dominate trading locations. There's just a lot of different aspects to the game and most guilds focus on one or two areas.

DMuehlhausen · January 2018

I vote for 3 less guild slots.

DoctorESO · January 2018

PrayingSeraph · January 2018

I never understood why people say "no" to more benefits in this game. Don't want more than 5 guilds? Don't join more than 5 guilds. Why not allow us who need more guilds to benefit from them?

Recremen · January 2018

I would seriously not mind this. It's amazing that the game allows five as it is, of course, but yeah I'm in a similar boat. I have one RP guild, three PvP guilds, and a trade guild, no room for a trial guild. :-( I'll eventually drop one of the PvP guilds when it comes down to it but it's still an unfortunate circumstance.

BlazingDynamo · January 2018

I'm surprised there isn't an indepth guild upgrading system in place.

You know, purchasing more member slots 600, 800, 1000 ect and more slots to sell for members.

This could be added for a very high gold cost..OR dear I say crown store purchasable.

Either way, being able to upgrade your guild in these ways would add a tiny gold sink for GMs sitting on stacks of money from charging such high prices per week. Perhaps it would encourage a drop in dues. Idk I feel like if something isn't done the war for traders will just increase and increase causing more expensive weekly dues. Which is an issue on PS4..15k a week is a little much. That's 7.5mil a week and taxes on sold items, no one can convince me that all goes right back in the trader every week.

Indeed it's kinda wierd when you find same people in all your guild slots.
