What are you talking about?

So then acquire enough gold to out bid them.... you know exactly how the game was designed...

So to bust the “monopoly” you wanna start a monopoly....

If your talking about trying to combat like the Sauce Guilds, and the Empire Guilds and all that bro good luck. You are going to waste literally millions of gold for absolutely no reason. You are going up against players who have access to hundreds of millions of gold. Give up now before you waste your and other players gold. It’s 100% useless.

It’s actually not a a sad state of affairs, join their guild and if your desperate to run a trading guild, get a cheap trader away from major towns or in an old dlc town. There’s absolutely zero reason to take them down, you’ll take away the ability to make gold from thousands of players. Maybe 1% of Xbox players are on the forums, let’s say you randomly managed to get a full guild, you now have 500 players. Your idea is to remove the ability to sell on a major trader because the random 500 people you gathered are deemed “more important” then the players in that guild. By the way, yes I am apart of this so called monopoly, I’m in two large trading guilds, and I can tell you right now, their guilds aren’t full, so just I don’t know, join one? I seriously don’t see the issue here, obviously you need to explain as to why this is such a huge issue that it requires a forum post about it.

Not deeming anyone more important over another. The system will only change if we change it. Public Trading should be free or nearly free for all. We the players need to force the change by not supporting these monopolies.

No successful guild that holds a top spot will ever be free or nearly free. A 10k due is 100% reasonable and easily doable. If you are in a guild in a top trading spot and not make over 10k a week, you aren’t doing it right. I joined a trading guild today, part of one of those monopolies you hate so much with a 10k weekly due, and I’ve made that back already, in one day.

And considering guilds are bidding a few mil to get that spot, it’s completely unrealistic to assume that said guild will be able to afford said spot on the 3.5% sale tax they receive, without the guild leader putting in millions of gold every week.

And no, I’m not a gm of any guild, I once ran a semi successful trade guild that held the trader in Kragenmoor for a few months straight, and yes my guild had no due, and yes I, by myself paid a few hundred thousand gold each week to ensure we had that spot. But that was a long time ago, running a successful trading guild is practically a full time job and I don’t have time for that.

I am a officer or higher rank or what have you in a trading guild, but it’s just one, we are no means a monopoly.

You didn’t hit a nerve, per say, but I can get irritated when people assume the current system, which is working basically as intended, isn’t working. No matter what you do or say, those trader spots are going to go for millions and millions of gold, the game has been out long enough that I would bet these “monopoly guild owners” are probably into the billions in personal gold, plus the few hundred million they probably have in their guild banks. This game isn’t much different from real life in a sense, a small majority own a vast amount of the wealth.
