Auction House Poll

TBH you are all ranting too much.
Do you know you have the power to message people ``Offline`` and request the item? In this way, both sides can be happy, who offers and who sells |

If they want trading to be a big part of the game, then, yes, they need to support it with an auction house. It just avoids a lot of issues like missing requests to buy stuff, RMT companies putting up stuff they have no intent to sell to sucker newbies into listing their stuff at overly cheap prices, having your gameplay interrupted to go sell stuff, and so on.
That said, personally, I'd rather see them take the hammer to trading in general, and instead fix up the loot drop system so that loot drops, not trading, is the main way a player who makes this one of their main games gets gear. |

" You literally message the person offline by saying you would like to buy his item and then set up a meeting time. What is so hard about it? |

So, I've always thought an Auction House in games like this are terrible ideas. (Diablo 3 learnt that lesson the hard way).
However the system we have now isn't perfect. If they added in a 3 strike system where we could strike out people who are inactive on the trade site, that would lift stress a little~ But even then it opens the door to have people abuse that system too. As of current, and though it isn't perfect. The trade system we have now is the best system for a game like this. |

I absolutely don't want an Auction House, I hope this helps.
Market control is already bad, the more you facilitate that, the worse is gonna get for the real players. |

" That assumes the person checks their messages. That they bother to reply. And what you say does nothing about things like RMT companies and others putting up items they have no intent to sell at low prices to sucker people into thinking that is the market rate so they can then buy up those cheap ones to re-sell at a higher price. Short of it, the messaging thing you talk of is harder than recognizing that the current system is badly flawed and not a good implementation... and there are apparently people who cannot see that, so I'm going to say that the messaging, scheduling appointments, and so on is too hard ;) |

Simple buyout button instead current wisper button we have atm solves all my problems with trading (so many good items on sale and players never online, not responding on wispers, wispering me and not accepting invite cus they pricecheck their item, and most annoying is to stop whatever you doing and go give some random dude item you sell).
Alva can give us items we buy or currency when we sell. |

Been away for 8 or 10 weeks. Do we have one yet? Do we? :D

We've truly won.

" Yep, offline trading will be a thing. People can just enter your hideout and buy your items from a Merchant NPC, even if you're not logged in or inside of a map. Its gonna be the best QOL ever. |
