We need a Auction house

methjester · April 2014

It's such a small sample size to know what "good" prices are. Throw the megaserver into one pool and prices will be good. The economy right now is a sellers market, if you can find someone selling.

I have yet to see an MMO where a player driven economy works, especially knowing that the guilds are outright robbing 15% right off the top of my sales. Gold sellers will always exist. Gold buyers will always exist. Lets try to distribute the wealth to the whole game, not 500 people at a time.

It's wrecked because I can never or rarely ever find what I need to buy. And it's such a hassle trying to sell stuff that I just vendor stuff now. So what good is an economy where I can't buy or sell in?

I think you meant to say because you refuse to learn to use the tools available to you. Or that you refuse to socialize in an MMO. The lack of a Global AH is one of the main reasons I tried ESO in the first place. People that are adjusting are socializing with others. What a concept! Socialization in a massively multiplayer game.

People have to communicate, they have to learn the economy, have to be aware of current sell prices...rather than just sorting by lowest price & selling for 1 gold cheaper. People actually know who is making the gear they wear, and god forbid, might even become friends and/or Guildmates. Act like a tool in zone chat & then expect me to buy from you? Not in ESO. Name your toon Waxoff & try to sell me a racial motif...I'll pass.

So basically you expect me to become friends with everyone I buy and sell from while taking the time to learn the current market values of a hundred different guild stores I may or may not have access to.

Well that's not unreasonable at all

A. Or just learn the going rates for the 5 guilds you are actually in.
B. Visit Guild stores in PVP Keeps for even more items.

Drop by "The Ascended" store if you see us on a keep, usually on BloodThorn. We usually have excellent prices and stock varies daily. We aren't a trade guild so we don't usually have artificially inflated prices but with 500 members you never know what you can find.

There is no going rate in the 5 guild stores I am currently a member to learn. The prices are all over the place. Which is going to continue because there is no consolidated market to create a baseline for prices.

I will attempt to check out your guild's store. But just the phrasing you use you never know what you can find does not fill me with hope.

We need an auction house for selling our wares. Guild store was clearly not a well thought out idea fellas. Many players chose not to belong to guilds, it is hard to find a guild of like minded individuals when your an older player. Your player base has a lot of immature players of which I have no desire to communicate with, but I would like to be able to sell them my wares..... you have left no avenue for sales for a player who just wants to contribute to the game and enjoy it without GUILD affiliations. Oh my bad you can be an ignorant clod and spam the chat channel with "WTS my stuff ...." making it even harder to get your message accross due to the limitless gold spammers you have yet to get under control. Please give us a non guild based auction system.

Totally agree with you!!!

Well every AH in every other MMO becomes unuseable by those not buying gold very quickly. Why would any one want that. Id take the smaller market.

You really need to stop being hyperbolic and making broadly generalized statements based on your skewed opinions rather than fact.

One other thing - ESO does not have a global auction house. Deal with it.

One other thing - Not everyone agrees with you. Deal with it.

How about we agree to disagree...lol

I am glad ZOS has been sticking to their guns on a lot of things they want to do, and not afraid to put a real game back into requiring interaction. If you need a single player game with no one to interact with and a universal AH with instant TP buttons to do x,y,z dungeons, there are a few spoon fed games like that I can think of, you may enjoy those more ;-)
