"an official statement" you're having a laugh right, zos address something straight away. Lol good one
In all serious though, WE NEED THIS ADDRESSED ASAP!

Good man, one of the few that tells also that he got a lot of money.
However I was completely out of luck with third guild of mine. Guild page already said that I got the trader hired from intended location, but when I arrived to the zone and saw the trader without any tabard, the game UI at hiring window said that I can not hire the trader, because game believed I already got that spot. So I had to watch how completely random person walked there and hired the spot for their almost empty guild.
21 "You won the trader bid" mails in the inbox, Tamriel Jackpot gold in the bank and after the maintenance only one thing changed: My third guild UI window finally said that we have no trader hired, so I managed to find one free spot which was still empty and hired that one.
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom
This silence we received after maintenance from ZOS regarding the issue is pathetic.

I think at this point we know that all bidding guilds got a lot of money xD

By now they should have given a short statement what's happening..ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »Hi everyone, just letting you know that we are working on a resolution to this issue from yesterday. More details to come as we continue to investigate, stay tuned...
Gina just posted that they are still investigating, that's not enough.. they had 18+ hours already and not even a single word what exactly they are going to do to fix this issue was published yet.

Do keep in mind that of those 18+ hours, it started on a Sunday afternoon in NA and a good portion of those hours is nighttime in NA. If this had to get bucked up to the higher-ups, they probably didnt seriously start talking ramifications until Monday morning.
Its not like we're talking 18+ hours during a weekday workday.

Really upsets me
Or even rescheduled it for this first roll-out like Iluvrien said. They had to expect errors, they should have been preparedThat's more an argument for ZOS making sure that someone would be in the office during the first trader flip... or rescheduling it for a weekday in the first roll-out... rather than an argument for their response time actually being reasonable.
