In-game trading system?!!!!

" Because the current trading works just fine. It is not supposed to be easy. It is supposed to be hard. It doesn't take much time, unlike you claim it does. You spend the time trading you want, that's it. Otherwise just farm your stuff like ssf players do. If someone doesn't respond, you pm someone else, until someone responds eventually. You pay a little more and get faster trades. | |
" Yeaaaa, it sounds cool and sociable... but trading for bulk? Or for currency? And during league? Holy crap trading divs for chaos is so hard. I really like the concept of our current trading system, but it gets really challenging as time goes on. And that's on top of an already complex game (Not complicated but mechanically complex) Point is, current system is adding a lot of bloat and a working AH will streamline it. "For we are not now that strength, which in old days moved Earth and Heaven. That which we are, we are; one equal strength of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will: to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." - Ulysses, Tennyson Last edited by Cowrex on Oct 8, 2023, 2:26:26 PM

An AH for items selling for under some fixed amount might be a step forward. It would allow for easy, uninterrupted sales of low value items without disrupting the face to face transactions for the expensive gear.

What about the fact that an auction house would remove price fixing?
If you list an item, you better be happy about the price you list because the transaction would be final. Most non-ssf people in this game has come into contact with price fixers. They exist to manipulate economies, devaluing others' currency to buy and flip. An automatic trade would remove this. I personally would rather have to deal with bots than price fixers. I'm struggling to come up with new goals to keep me playing this game.

"for non traders a AH wouldn't matter one bit now would it? :') "Now all that's left is for you getting on your knees."
if you know thanks me:) i'm dying to find out x'D | |
" It would not remove the price fixing at all. People/bots will still continue to mess around with prices, or buy out most stocks to manipulate prices in one or another way. Even if they just put in some weak listings on cookie currency and buy out the new listed items with the wrong price. There's never been a single game with a auction house and without price fixers, they will always exist and they just gain even more power with the ability to buy anything they like within a few seconds. Even T0 or good t1 drops can be manipulated a lot easier. They can buy out the entire stock and list them for a lot more and make big profits out of it. Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

" I opened the topic so people could share their opinions and didn't comment on any. But the amount of ego and ignorance in your response indicates how you understand zero pieces of information about the economy. An AH will not affect the economy badly since the currency/items/etc drop rate is based on tiers and probability. This means, in essence, that the supply/demand will always maintain the actual price of the object rather than those price-fixers that I have been messaging for two hours trying to buy a fuckin' 15 divine orbs. Even the bots won't really change anything because they are already there in the game; also, at a certain threshold, when the demand is higher than the supply, the item's price will rise, maintaining a healthy value in the market. And the whole "IT WILL RUIN THE GAME ARGUMENT" that I cannot see how it would do from an economic perspective is an absolute joke. Look for games like Albion Online, the entire economy revolves around AH and the game is fuckin' solid. |

" In demand items are already bought in mass and price fixed. How you gonna sit there and type out that creating an instant system won't make that problem even worse? Just because for some odd reason you can't fathom this happening doesn't mean much. | |
" The big difference in this case is that the price fixers have to make an actual effort AND have the currency necessary for that in order to do any fixing. That in itself drastically limits the number of people who can do it and also the items that can be price fixed. It will basically be limited to early league magebloods and the like where the supply is really low. The vast majority of traders will never have to deal with price fixing in an AH economy because listing an item for a price will actually mean it's getting sold for that price. |
