ESO Needs an Auction Horse (Expanded Concept)

Necrelios

If we can have an in-game crown store I don't see why we can't have an in-game auction horse. Maybe even have it be summon-able with a hotbind key to make it as easy to access as the crown store while playing.

No, ESO needs an auction house like EVERY OTHER MMO OUT THERE. Non of this stupid can only sell to guildies bs. Just have an AH area in every capitol city and be done with all these stupid ideas.

An Auction HOUSE makes no sense in the context of the Elder Scrolls. If you want ESO to play like "EVERY OTHER MMO OUT THERE" @biovitalb16_ESO, why not just go play one of those other MMOs?

EDIT:I hate those kinds of responses. Sorry about that.

A lot of us like that ESO is different. Just because something is done one way in other games doesn't mean it's right for ESO.

ESO is not an Elder Scrolls game. It's an MMO with Elder Scrolls paint.

I agree with this statement. Regrettably.

Eso doesnt need an auction hourse.

There is not enough "rare and valuable" items in here to justify a need for a global auction house.

If it was to be released in game it would be filled from top to bottom with useless crap listed by noobs, common goods avaliable everywhere else or junk items noone needs put up there just for lulz.

When something is public its sucks and is going to end up as one big junk.

I like guild trader system. It makes you think twice before posting something and is avaliable to those who actually have something to sell (Because if there would be 0 sales in guild then every trader would be bought at great loss/waste of profit).

I just wasted two days trying to find a low level recipe through all the guild traders and came up empty. If I wanted purple motifs and deadra hearts, well I would have been in luck. I just quit a trade guild because they are forcing members to only offer high end stuff. So far, the guild traders have been useless and a big waste of my time.

There is a market for everything.

I think the Auction Horse would only draw the best of the best traders... since additional money needs to be committed to be displayed in the auction horse.

And your spelling of "Auction Hourse" made me laugh...

+1 for this idea.

You know.... I did make a ebay style auction house website during launch....

Didn't take off though...... everyone thought it was a gold site lmao.

Plus... without an API... it was just a mess.

You could list your item, set starting bid, buy it now, leave feed back all the bells and whistles.

Then you would just simply COD in game.


I guess... if there are people that would use it now, I could make it again. Still have it saved to my computer.

No reason we can't demand for an ES game with MMO paint. Or, you know, a healthy combination of both.

Very cool idea, too much work for this dev team to handle though.

PsychoKRATOS1

Lol awesome

Selique

Love this idea. Much more interesting than a lame Auction House.

Please don't hurt my eyes. Those tiny texts has been enough.

And just finished the cp free campaign, then more ppl would go to pvp. This fancy stuff wouldn't help new/casual players without decent trading guilds to sell their things. You could lure/force ppl into pvp, but after they died a few hundred times, your fancy new stuff just had to get laid waste.

Auction Horse... does sound like a great idea, fun too! I can imagine how it would be though, someone spots the horse, posts its location here or zone chat and then there's a sudden rush of 100 players running to whichever path its currently walking xD

tonemd

Would love to see a Cult of the Auction Horse form up and have players just following it from zone to zone selling their wares.

Both of these things would be awesome!

What if ZOS even made bandit troops follow the Horse too, so you had to fight your way to the Auction Horse?!?

This would be cool, if it was a randomized event so you wouldn't always have to deal with aggro to get to the horse.

Yea. I agree with that. I'm not so keen on the idea that I'm going to add it to the OP. Just a passing thought, really.

We have guild stores/traders .. We don't need an AH and become more like other mmo's

Again, the ONLY way to access the Auction Horse is to FIND the one Auction Horse as it wanders Tamriel.

Bah!

Give the job to M'aiq.

You do realise this isn't about an auction HOUSE, right?

Only if there is a chance the item you buy is a lie and you get nothing in the mail but a note from M'aiq with some lame excuse.

I want It Now!!!!! please??

I think someone said it before but couldn't find the post to quote it if it wasn't then,
Incorporating the actual Guild Traders (Random Number Of Traders Each Day) into the auction horse would be fantastic this way it could possibly stop the monopoly happening and also doesn't make them a thing of the past. ( i like having to search through them every now and again).
I just wanna be there the first time it loads up and watch the zerg in all its glory.

Haha It was in the ops original post........

lol, great thread.

What if one killed the horse?

Eeeeeh, no thanks, we don't need to invent another wheel.

It's the horse of Clavicus Vile, so it can't be killed! Now a griefing mechanic that would give the horse a VERY low percent chance (like 0.25%) of being spooked if attacked. If spooked it runs away and doesn't return until the next day. heheh... people would be so mad.
