I for one think they are useless, I have a guild and always gave items to my members, why would I want to sell to my own members? Also why would I sell and lose money when I can mail it? I mean what were they thinking?
They you need 50 people to get one, which we had anyways, but the whole process makes no sense to me, I normally never complain about much, but this has me annoyed, I been gaming for 25 years and in the gaming industry, this idea has to be one of the worse ideas I ever seen.
Its like when I own a business and I only can sell to my employees , wow I will make a lot, I like trading and crafting , they ruined this part for me. I like the game over all, but this I do not, nor see the whole point of it..
the whole 5 guild thing, I can see people steal from one guild to sell to another... I bet people pull that crap... Which it promotes that as well another thing. MMO's are suppose to be about community and I feel they are killing It with this whole 5 guild trash.
Do any of these devs play MMO's? I do and been part of a team that makes MMO's I always tell them to add some social aspects, but the guys upstairs don't care, so that's why ESO is no different its sad to see MMO's do this it really is...

I guess we have to re-think the whole idea of guilds in ESO.
Since you can join up to 5 of them, one will be the "normal" guild, the one you play with friends, focus on progression, chat etc etc, while the others can be used as trading guilds.
It makes sense if you join more than one, so you can explore the different trade strategies. Now it's a bit early for true players-driven economy, but give it few weeks and it will work fine. (I hope!!)
It's a whole new concet to play and build and I'm my opinion is very interesting to see how it will evolve.
Agree in its current form the guild store does not make much sense to me. In the AMA on Reddit Zenimax did say they were looking at a few things regarding the guild store and bank to try and make them better. I hope they do fix them and add some more benefits for being in a guild. In its current state I can see no reason to do any trading in the guild store and expect I will just be mailing and direct trading with friends.
There will be 2 kind of guilds
- standard guilds
-trade guilds
you will only need a single guild for playing with friends....
that leaves you 4 trade guilds to join..
this is to prevent one huge auctioned global market, which would as seen in GW2 instantly ruin the worlds economy...
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
The problem is there is A) no text search and There is a 25% cut. An initial 15% when you an item up for sale and 10% that goes to the guild when you sell it.
It definitely could use a little work and seems a bit half-baked right now. Almost like they rushed it out.
Because it would be so hard to have multiple AH limited to a certain numbers of players,with player being locked in one,the same way they lock Cyrodill ...This is just a lame attempt to look original and force a few more people into pvp(guilds ah in Cyrodill) which will fail, the only question is how bad will hurt small guilds in the process. It's so immersive to have to come on mmorpg.com and look on trade forums because Zenimax tried to reinvent the wheel.
Almost forgot about no ah,harder for players to make money, more grinding and more customers for their horses in cash shop.
I personally think there shouldent be a auction house at all. I dont even think there should be a guild store, but that is just me. I liked the days of trading in the greater faydark where every one went to trade. Auction houses to me are just garbage, as well as this guild store.
Since they felt the need to add it, which who knows why they decided to add it. Which I agree 100 percent with the OP. They should of just had, each major town have a auction house that isnt linked. This guild store crap is just going to make problems and ruin the economy of the game.
I never really had much hope though they were planning on making a game that would last. Still feel its going to go F2P when Wild star comes out, and they will focus more on the console servers than the pc/mac server.
