They should do 3 master merchanrs should create 1 for each alliance and seperate the gold currency into 3 different currencies that can be exchanged at a rate based off total currency held by each alliance creating an artificial inflation when one has more then the other devaluing the currency. Also, add a cost to the exchange.

Opening up the present system so as to allow limited listings of items by non-guild members or members of guilds without traders.

A proper search function.

A level playing field with a uniform system across all platforms, entirely contained within the game rather than being dependent on external sites.

The main problem with the current system is that we have very small number of trader spots in high traffic areas, but tons of traders in remote, low traffic, out of the way spots that only generate sales if they price stuff significantly below avg, relying too much on third party tamrieltradecentre website to send people to the remote kiosk.

Some tweaks that I feel would improve the guild store experience for buyers and sellers, and help large guilds as well as small guilds:

• Add UI features similar to Awesome Guild Store, search function etc
• Move traders in Ebonheart to Davon's Watch (EP starting town)
• Move traders in Skywatch to Vukhel Guard (AD starting town)
• Remove all the traders from remote, out of the way spots and relocate them to capital city of each zone (except use starting town instead for Auridon and Stonefalls)
• Make sure all traders are very close to wayshrine of the capital city
• Add claimable guild store dialogue menu to every NPC quartermaster in Cyrodiil including resources, outposts and towns, and require guild store unlock to claim them
• Add a couple additional trader NPCs to outlaw refuges

kind of curious as to how you

To me it is clear that, compared to other popular mmorpg, a much larger proportion of players in ESO complain of the current Guild Store system and only tolerate it, and also a much larger proportion of potential players decide to quit mainly because they can't tolerate this system. However, it seems that there is little chance we can get rid of it in the future. With that said, there is no harm to image a most satisfactory trading system in ESO. What's your opinion about this?

I would like the basic functionality from the add-ons added in, but, I would also like an NPC or Market Board in each major city of each zone that can allow players to search for items within that same zone, or perhaps the alliance, to find the item they are looking for, and which trader. If they keep it to one for each zone, it should narrow down the amounts loaded into each NPC/Board, and somewhat limit the amount of traffic each one is seeing at all times.

I am mostly pleased with the way the trading system works for PC users with addons. Enhance the search/filtering options to at least match Awesome Guild Stores and I think a lot of players would be happy, especially console players.

They should also add TTC and Nirn Auction House capabilities imo

Keyword search (for those with keyboards) and search by first letter (for those without).

The integration of addons will not make me satisfied. Why would it? A system should be fit for use from the beginning.

All my friends quit ESO for this reason, and I have several discussion about which mmorpg is more enjoyable in other non official game forum, most time when people vote against ESO they are like "the trading system is horrible, other than that, it's a fairly good game"

so your friends make up a large proportion of players ? you must be a popular guy

I just stated my impression. Since when have you gain the power to censor how other people form their own opinion? Shall I call you Big Brother?

I would hesitate at adding Master Merchant functionality, but AwesomeGuildStore is a must.

I don't believe that moving the out of town traders into town would benefit small guilds. In fact, I believe it would price them out of the market.

Though some cities really need their traders closer to the wayshrine, like Shornhelm in Rivenspire.

Adding a couple more traders to outlaw refuges would make them more attractive and compensate for the loadscreen, but I would think that a maximum of 3 would be best.

OP, when you say "A trading system like BDO" don't you mean a "non-trading system like BDO"? :-P

censor ? i dont think you know what that word means. i simply asked a question, goob

So you think your words are so smart that no one can read the true message? Seriously? Well enjoy yourself then.

Like the majority of ESO players, I have never actually seen how Master Merchant and Awesome Guild Store work.

I believe the current system could be decent. It would take some UI upgrades:

1. Text search is required. I should be able to find out if a trader has what I want without having to scroll through so many pages of similar but different items.

2. When I search for a blacksmithing motif, I should only see motifs that will let me learn how to make stuff at a smithy. I should not see motif pages for shields, bows or staves. The same goes for all other professions.

3. Although not my idea, but one I can agree with, I would like to see a toggle for hide known motif/recipe/design/etc.


If they were to implement the first, I would stop complaining about the others. I spend a lot of time interacting with the guild store system. More than is fun.
