Are 5 guilds too many?

SilverBride · January 2021

I feel that allowing players to be in 5 guilds is excessive, and is killing in game chat. The reason being, if a player has 5 guilds all chatting, they start to tune a lot of it out, and thus they don't participate in conversations. Although this probably rarely happens because I haven't found a guild yet since returning over a year ago that uses in game chat very often anyway.

I can see how some players may want in their main guild, a trading guild and perhaps a RP guild. But what do they need the other 2 for?

How do you feel about this?

EDIT: I forgot to add "5 isn't enough" as a choice. Please write that in if that is your opinion.

P.S. Please don't bring Discord into this.

Option 4, 5 isn't enough.

Also, considering the toxic viper pit zone chat often is referring peopke to that is not an option. Unless you think that subjecting people to incessant verbal abuse is a good thing.

You have the choice to have less. If you want more (reason doesn't matter I'm this example) you're out if luck.

Also biased polls don't help your argument

I actually just tried to edit and add that option but wasn't able to. I will note that can be written in.

I'm guessing this is a PC/Mac only issue. Don't you guys already have tools you can use to deal with this? I hear on PC/Mac you can actually turn various chat channels on and off, including for guilds. Does that not work good enough?

Addition, to answer "why do peopke need more guilds then 3?" Okay, some have dedicated progression/trial guilds, as well as pvp guilds. Some like to have more than one of those. It adds up.

Personally I have primary social guilds, secondary social, trade guild, and I just joined a casual pvp guild. I'm ot into endgame pve, but if I ever did decide to go for it I might end up having to sacrifise one of me other guilds to make room for that.

If you are on PC, you can configure tabs on the chat box to separate your guilds on different tabs. I am not sure how it works on consoles though.

I need 10 guilds but I'm not given an option to vote for "5 guilds is too few". Biased poll is biased

Ellimist_Entreri · January 2021

Option 4, 5 isn't enough. Can we try 10?

Yea I already mentioned I forgot that option, wasn't biased. I tried to edit but it won't let me add another option. That's why I said in bold print to write that one is if that is your choice.

I am not good at polls. :I

*insert the Plankton "I can't read* meme here*

And as for why I need more guild slots is due to these reasons. Trade guild, Trial Guild, Social Guild, RP Guild, PVP Guild, Crown Trade Guild, RP Hub Guild I'm an officer in, and a couple of others. As you can guess I'm in a lot of ESO discord servers since I don't have enough guild slots.

5 is too many for my liking, though I do recognize that others will feel differently. I can't find the time to split between more than maybe 2 guilds. The others I have only for trade slots.

If they ever adjust the guild trader system, I would be inclined to say that 1 guild is likely enough as long as I have other social ties such as discord or friends list to keep my other options available.

Option 4 - I'd love to be a part of more, not less. I could easily be in a social guild, pvp guild, 2x trading guilds, dungeon achievements guild and 3-4 trial guilds.

What is in game chat?

Atm I'm in two trade guilds, a PvE social guild, a PvP friends guild and a PvP tactical raid guild.

Guilds I currently have no space for: trial, PvP faction, PvP BG, anything else.

So yeh 5 is not enough...

It doesn't - there are no configuration options for the chat box on console at all. That's why I was wondering if this is basically a PC/Mac only issue. Seems like it is, and that still leaves me wondering what about the PC/Mac chat configuration isn't sufficient? What improvements could be made to it so it works for you all? It seems like that is really the issue, not so much the number of guilds, right? Sounds like the chat tool needs some improvements on PC/Mac as well as on consoles.

5 guilds is too many

I'm in 2 active trading guilds and even then I wish I only need to be in one. I only joined a second one to list more items to sell since 30 slots is not enough.

zvavi · January 2021

Well, you also forgot the "other" option...

rumple9 · January 2021

5 is not enough - it only gives you 150 trading slots

kargen27 · January 2021

Trade guild
Social guild
PvP guild
Trial guild
Housing guild

I could do with maybe two more guilds. I had to drop the housing guild I was in to join a trial guild that is just beginning to try and run vet trials. Having fun doing that but don't want to give up the main trial guild.

I know you said don't mention Discord but I was able to drop the housing guild and still participate in most events because of Discord. Do miss out on some conversations and spur of the moment house tours though.

Grr. Now that you mentioned it... I hate it with a passion. I think it also contributes greatly to lack of guild chat in game.

5 guilds is just right

5 is just right, could have more, but not sure why we would want less..

You can straight up mute the guilds you don't want or need to see. Unfortunately this game requires you to be apart of a trade guild to sell your stuff without spending hours spamming zone chat. It's kind of rare for a great trade guild to be multipurpose.

So for me.. I usually have 2-3 trade guilds muted (I miss out on raffles, but thats okay to me), 1 pve guild and 1 pvp guild. These 2 guilds have different colours so I never get confused. The all/group chat has bubbles over their heads and different colours so I never get confused.

If I had all 5 guilds unmuted.. then yeah I'd think 5 is too much, sometimes it gets very spammy.

I use the Chat Tab Selector add on and I am happy with the way it works. I only have two guilds at the moment though.

Its all about context, is 5 too many?

Traders, yes.

Guilds, no.

hafgood · January 2021

2 * social
1 * pvp
2 * trader

Would like at least one more to join a trials guild

IneedaDollar · January 2021

5 guilds is too many

If you exclude trading guilds 5 is definetly too much.
If you include trading guilds I would struggle even with 10.

ccfeeling · January 2021

One of the best in ESO is players could join more than 1 guild, 5 is perfect.

Trader guilds are not really trial oriented, trials guild are not really trading oriented, also end game contents are toxic, no one would stay in small PVE guild, only strong guilds survive,u wanna like it happen?

Too little

ThePedge · January 2021

Not enough.

Currently I have
1. My own guild
2. Trading guild
3. PvP guild
4. PvE Raid guild
5. Social guild I've been in since I learned about guilds

Two of them I literally can not leave, otherwise I lose my guild bank, or ability to sell items.

Active in 3 raid groups, only in one of the guilds. I would not be able to add everyone I've raised with so far this year to my friends list, isn't big enough. Let alone it requiring them to have free space.

In 3x as many discords as guilds in game. People like being able to have their own group and if everyone is in the in-game guild it feels more intimate, social, and quicker access than using a third-party program. I reckon I could fill 20 guild slots.

Please read the bold print in the OP. I overlooked that option, thought of it after I already posted the thread, tried to add it but wasn't able to. So I put in bold to write your choice in if "5 isn't enough" was your answer.

My mistake.
