Need an Auction House

[solracht]

I want some evidence that says that we NEED an AH over the current system besides the tired "All MMOS have an AH"

In its current implementation?

Takes slightly longer to buy items: after searching and clicking on your item, the buying process would be over in an AH system. In the market wards, you still have to run to the retainer, and possibly switch wards.

Takes longer to sell items, especially multiple items: if you don't remember all the prices after multiple price-checks, you'll have to take multiple trips between the search counter and your retainer. Having to trade the items you want to sell to your retainer also adds extra time. In an AH system, all this price-checking would be done without moving from the counter and there would be no trading.

Do we need to scrap the retainers and make a real Auction House? No, probably not. I do not think so.

Do the market wards need to evolve into a system where everything can be done from the search counter and you don't even need to step into the wards themselves? If this system wants to appeal to most MMORPG players and wash off the anger the wards created, most likely.

Honestly it's not even a matter of functionality anymore. This game has a lot of bad press to get rid of. Keeping one of the systems that was complained about since conception in any way that reminds you of the original concept doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

Got my idea done for a new system, if you want to read it it's in the "Markets and Reatiners" section.

People NEED to learn the difference between the words NEED and WANT

Exactly lol. We don't NEED an AH but some people do WANT an AH. The wards can be fixed to do the same it's just that(like most stuff) it's incomplete right now.

And link them together so Ul'Dah isn't the only place to find crap.

The idea was to have 3 separate economies, one in each state and limit anima travel between them. Once established, a mail system is to be introduced.

Stupid, I agree...but that was the logic behind slowing down RMT activity. Honestly I dont think RMT's exists on anything but a small insignificant scale. GIl is so easy to obtain, its basically like the dollar...more and more keeps getting printed into circulation. Pretty soon it becomes like monopoly money.

I had an idea, classic auction house to link 3 main cities and further cities as they are opened up. then move all market wards to the outposts and small world map towns and have the market wards be linked only in their zone, but no matter where in the zone they are.

this has already been posted but more threads about it may just get there eye and make them work on it harder to get it done quciker. I dont see why people keep yapping about getting it now they said there bring it out god people gave them a chance to work on the game. everyone is yapping about them fixing this and that never happy, just incase people didnt noticed the game was down for a while there because japan was hit bad and it's great the world comes to together to help them out alot but yet on these fourms all i seem to read is peopling bitching about what they want when they don't need it right now the market place will do us for now. Gave them time

Ditto.
My opinion is in this thread also, no need for another thread.
