Guild history displays the exact kiosk bid and location on the guild history tab where any member may view it. This has encouraged numerous players to seek out invitations to guilds with malicious intent. These players have been exploiting the open bid history to insure their ability to win a kiosk each week by spying on bid amounts of infiltrated guilds and then outbidding them last minute.



This has forced guildmasters to make sure they are online at 7:59am EST each Monday to have bidding wars with other guilds against the clock in order to secure a guild trader. It has led to major distrust within guild communities causing some to shut down recruiting toward the end of the week and some to even remove players by the dozen for being involved with guilds known to contain spies.



I, myself, am hesitant to even let new officers know the exact location, time of placement, and amount of bid for fear of moles from other guilds. People could easily be paid off. Trade guild leaders have been under duress as they struggle to prevent treason and combat corporate espionage.



Was this intended or should I report it as a bug?



I think the following proposed solutions are the most feasible.



1. The bid history displays only for members that have permissions to hire guild traders.

2. The bid history displays for members only after a kiosk is won.
