Bug: Guildhouse Lottery Includes Store Owners

Post by perseid »

Description
It was explained to me after a past Guildhouse lease was overridden, for the first of two times in a one year timespan, that the cause for the decision the first time had been that it's actually considered a bug for Guildhouses going up for internal lottery to include their attached shopowners in the list of potential winners. To this end, I wanted to submit this bug report and include a list of Guildhouses I know to be affected since at the time the winner of that Guildhouse was stripped of their ownership without alert and I feel like that's a very haphazard solution to an implementation problem that seems like it should be easy to fix. The Guildhouse I received input on was the Boreal Keep however I've inquired with other players to assemble this list of Guildhouses displaying the same bug:

-Boreal Keep
-Port Authority
-Red Tower
-Spore Farms
-Silver Mines

Expected result
If this is bugged behavior then the expected result would be for owners of attached shops to not be included in the internal lottery.

Actual result
Shop keepers are included in the internal lottery. The Boreal Keep as mentioned had to be stripped from the shopkeeper who won it so that a dm could host a new auction according to the present owner of that lease and a member of the dev team that I consulted. This same procedure is required any time this issue arises at present.

Misc Notes
The listed Guildhouses are all UD Guildhouses however it's very possible it applies to Guildhouses on other servers as well.

Which Server(s)?
UD

Gaming Platform(s)?

The matter was discussed and we have decided to keep this as is. Store owners will remain part of the guildhouse inheritance system. However, it should be noted that all shops mechanically attached to guildhouses must have their signs behind a guildhouse door, much like a conventional interior quarter. If this is not the case for a specific property, please report it, and it will be updated. With this said, the Boreal Keep foyer stores are no longer linked to the Boreal Keep guildhouse.
