Why not as a compromise to AH or not...HANDBILLS!
Seriously though.
Since people are complaining about trade spam why not have a signboard where (for a small fee) a person can list something kind of like a classified ad for a limited period of time.
Guilds could also recruit there by posting an ad explaining just what they have to offer as a guild.
Sure, it is in essence an AH without the functionality of one, but it would clean up zone chat somewhat, provide a gold sink, and foster communication between a buyer and a seller.
And if the handbills were only visible locally...
You might miss out on some deals, but at least you...as a potential buyer...know who to go to the next time you need something...and if ESO is trying to be "realistic" this isn't necessarily a bad way to compromise, especially for those small guilds that don't have a bank, much less a store.
Yeah, yeah...I know. Why bother with handbills when you can just spam chat? Well do YOU want to buy from a guy that's been annoying the crap out of you for the last 20 minutes?
It might work.

Teeg✭✭✭I like your idea, but I think more people might see it if you edited it to move it to the Game Discussion section instead of the Players Helping Other Players section.Mara's Tester

Tbh I'm surprised that the npc's in the trade areas of the city aren't yelling for all their worth about their wares in with the player trading, go to any market of just about any era (todays indoor markets are far too quiet to count tbh, but outdoor markets and street fruiterers/paper sellers are sometimes close). It all adds the right atmosphere of the world to the game having the trade adverts going on. You can always turn various aspects of chat off.0

Jadeviper1974✭✭✭All that needs to be done is have a dedicated Trade channel then limit linking to Trade, guild, and private messages.
The people that are crying about not having an AH are just whining because they don't want to learn a new system. Give them a month and they will go back to WoW where they are happiest anyway.What is written above are my honest opinions. If you agree then; "Great!" If you disagree; "Great!" I really couldn't care less either way.0
