I soloed all the way to vet rank and not once was in a Guild nor did I need to sell things or buy things. I sold to the vendor and I used what dropped from killing things and rewards. Levels 1-50 are just a tutorial... I'm not worrying about building awesome armor and weapons until I'm 50++. Why would you? Levels happen so fast in this game, until you reach vet ranks that is.

See. That tells me your level grinding. Which i think is one issue in this game. Sure you can play the way you want but i don't think leveling happens that fast unless you want it to. Do you read the lore books and try to get 100% of the zone complete.

Unless you invest alot of hours into ESO

?

I played the game at a leisure pace, not hardcore. So many quests that the levels flew by. I had no need to worry about Guild trading or buying/making armor weapons etc.

Yea we seriously need an ingame auction house or connected guild stores. I haven't bought one thing or sold one thing on these damned guild stores.

Same except I've been taking my time, trying out all the races, classes, combos basically enjoying the game. ( plan on being here for awhile )

There is so much stuff that a person doesn't NEED to buy / trade.

Soooo i pretty much need to "trade guild" switch all the time. I'm in 4 different trade guilds. 2 of which i can't sell anything on. Everyone is level 45+ and all my gear im selling is 28-30. So it sits and sits. I'm not paying the posting fee over and over for gear to not sell.

(All 4 guilds have 500 members by the way). The other guild has VR members so they do nothing but post level 50 gear on the guild store. Out of the 500 im the only level 28. EVERYONE is level 48+ with 250 users being in the VR levels...

My other 2 guilds i have been able to sell stuff. Not really often but it's something i guess. (This is all blue and green gear mind you)

My questions is, has anyone been running into this issue? What is the point of a trade guild when everyone is past your level? As time goes on i see this being an issue and wasn't really thought out. If you fail to keep up with your trade guild, your gear you try to sell will just sit since some level 50 isn't going to buy some level 23 chest piece...unless they craft.


So im now asking for trading guilds with 'Non hardcore" players and have been guild hopping nonstop. I join, look at the member list, if more then half are 10+ levels higher then me i drop the guild..Is this normal? Am i the only one having this problem with selling gear on some guild stores? Am i bound to always trade guild hop?...

Find a new guild or make your own. It's simple.
This game does not revolve around selling your useless junk. Go deconstruct it! Get crafting xp for it! Sell your materials! so many possibilities!

That would be stupid. What about those people that like to gather up to 50 and wish to sell their goods? I don't know about you, but I'm tired of all the spam in zone chat.

Indeed. I use zone chat more then i use the guild store since i can't sell anything. Sure i could sell to a vendor for 30 gold OR make 300 gold selling to someone. At times this game totally fails at being an MMO.

I feel like it's 2004 the way i need to sell stuff in this game. FF11 on the PS2 had an Auction House for Christ sake...

I'm not sure if switching guilds will help much, even if they are more your level. For me it seems to be a whole bunch of sellers trying to sell to each other and not many wanting to buy. I move a few things, mostly the common motifs as I price low and don't mind others reselling them for a higher price. That's about it.

@‌Reignskream
Well hook em up with the name of the Guild!

Well, as always everyone seems to think their way is the right way to play.

I have no desire to PvP or even rush to get to 50. I have been playing since November, and I was in the early access. I have 6 alts leveled all the way to 10. That is correct 10. I am completely enjoying PLAYING the PvE and tuning my alts. I re-roll when I want to change one and some day I will reach 50, but I am not holding my breath. I expect there are some others out there like me. Those of you that love to play end game - have lots of fun - doesn't bother me at all, but ESO is designed to allow many different forms of playing.

I am enjoying crafting everything I can and giving it to members of my guild. I expect that selling things is going to be hard, since there is no easy way to reach many people at lower levels.

" altitis " lol

I've got so many mats in my bank that on my current character ( and prob the next 5 or 6 ) I dont even have to gather until after 14 anyways

HAZZAH!

I'm doing the same thing, didn't feel the need to get into a guild for any reason yet, currently hit VR4 last night. accumulated over maybe 100k gold, most went to repairs and more bag space.

Best thing to do, finish the quests, you'll get gear and gold, don't build anything for yourself until VR++

Most the items I see on guild stores (out of 5 trade guilds) is 90% junk, priced 200% too high. People want to sell X item for 200 gold, but they want to make 200 gold, so after fees and all that nonsense its 300-350 just so they can make their 200 gold. I wont pay 350 for a 200 gold item...so it sits.

Gear as you level, is junk. It serves one purpose and that is basically to deconstruct. If it is part of a set it may have some value for a time, but not for long. Low level epics are replaced in 2-3 levels with a green...it's all decon junk.

Change your approach on what you sell. I sell salvaged materials on guild stores, trade goods. Honing Stones, Embroidery, Mastic etc etc. I can place 30 items up, and tomorrow when I log in its almost gone. Some things are desired through every level of gameplay. Sadly.....its not that gear, or that potion you looted 100 of.

With all of this being said, I still rarely use the guild store. I'll sell directly in chat to avoid the fees, and will continue to do so until they make some necessary adjustments to the guild store system. So...enjoy the zone chat spam. I didn't create this monster....

I was feeling the same way, until I had my 'A ha!" moment and changed my way of thinking about this game. It IS different than other mmo's. Keeping that in mind, ditch the idea of having any kind of 'trade' involved where you, the adventurer, become a master craftsman who is also known to other adventurers (thinking kind of rp/IC there). Think of yourself strictly as someone who is self sufficient, sells his/her goods/gathered materials they find while adventuring to a real vendor (npc), makes enough gold to keep themselves (and the previously mentioned starving horses) fed, and is learning a craft to make their own <insert crafted thing here>.

I'm much less stressed about stuff now, just vendor all the heaps of stuff I gather, use what I can to occasionally craft, break down gear I get from mobs to level crafting or use it for my character, and no longer have all the space/money issues. This game has a neat crafting system, but the guild store system, for many, really is kind of 'broken' or not working the way most players (having played AH rules MMO's for years) would think it would work -- coming from a WoW perspective let's say. So, really we're looking at a game that is made with crafting as a neat little mini game you play for yourself only, and, in the future when you're maxed out, for others. (It does seem to cater a bit more to the higher level folks.) Either that, or make lots of friends to swap stuff with who are slower levelers, like some of us are.

My highest level character (I too have altoholism, as I call it, since it is an addiction) is only level 16. I then have four more who are levels 10-14. I'm enjoying the journey, which is most important to me. So, basically, just realize this isn't a trade centric game (it's kind of like the other TES games that way, more single player in feel in some ways) and rethink your play style a bit. If you prefer an AH style set up that much that you find you can not enjoy the game without it, I hate to say it, but you may be happier elsewhere. I don't mean to tell you to 'go home', as I loathe that response normally, I just mean that you really need to start rethinking how you're operating within game. I tend to more self sufficiency even when an AH is available because I do enjoy doing all the crafts I can. And yes, I use them heavily, but usually to sell stuff to afford senselessly expensive overpowered gear that I really don't need simply because I'm more usually an "OOOH SHINY" type of person. And maybe keep a casual eye on zone chat for sales opportunities. Like I sold salt the other day (28 of them) that I had with me since I compulsively raid every sack, barrel, crate, etc I see, to someone for shouting in zone for 50 G each. Nice profit for seconds of work when you're good at fast clicking on them.

And all this carries with it the awesome bonus of being able to leave my trade guilds (full of immature types whom I don't enjoy in some cases) behind to join those guilds who are more in line with my play style and personality and have an easier time finding dungeon run mates for the rest of the group dungeons in game (I've only done the first ones thus far). So my advice is this -- just relax, realign your thinking, and enjoy. Sorry for the long winded post, hope it makes sense, not enough caffiene in me yet..... -.- Mornings.. ugh. And good luck to you! Hope you find a system that works for you or a trade guild that does.

I do not bother trying to sell gear (weapons, armor), through the guild store.

I either research the items that have traits I can research, or break the items down into their base materials (Deconstruct) and then sell the mats.

The materials, stones, and tempers that you get from deconstructing the items are worth more to other players than the occasional drop item unless it is from a specific set gear, or they want to buy it to break it down themselves.

If you are interested in being in a "trading" guild, try looking for ones that are more specialized instead of just open trading, which ends up with all kinds of junk in the store.

Join a Blacksmithing guild if you are interested in the buying, selling, trading of ores, ingots, etc.

Join a Woodworking guild for logs/wood, etc.

Or see if you can find a "Crafters" guild that covers all 3 (Blacksmithing, Woodworking, and Tailoring/Clothing).
