Server Wide Auction House/Trade Markets (occurring daily- user directed)

NewBlacksmurf

Please comment if you'd like to host an event with place time etc
Let's try and keep this to a min of two or three spots unless there is a need to adjust (remember - it's needed per faction)


A lot of people want and continue to express that ZOS needs to make a server wide AH
A lot of players express frustration of the no profits of vendors
A lot of players don't want to join guilds or use trading guilds
And there are a lot of other feedback and opinions that I won't type out.

Here is a reasonable resolution
This will require "the players" to work

Idea: We need to hold a market where hundreds/thousands of players can meet and trade
Frequency: daily for a 3 hour period based on server time
Where: needs player input (it can be more than one place but shouldn't be more than 3)
When: let's start Friday or Saturday
Caution: for the respect of others this needs to start and stop at specific times (3 hours may not make sense) due to server stability and common respect for others

Purpose: this will allow anyone who wants to trade, buy, auction, sale goods daily and remove the burden some players are feeling due to a lack of some massive auction house.

Feedback/Things to be aware of:
This also should ALWAYS be conducted in a large open area close to crafting stations, and banks
-if everyone is using zone chat it becomes a problem
-let's pick a large city and meet or gather by areas appropriate to the items desired
Ie: Everyone cannot stand in one area so break out just enough for a visual spacing and character interacting/trading


Feel free to offer more ideas

Test: NA server
AD will start 7pmEST - 10EST in Vulkhel Guard
Place: between Guard's Forge and Timber & Tools
When: Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sunday
Monday is a server day(day off)

Hopefully someone will do the same for the other factions as a test

I've seen something like this before in another game. A "Crafter's Market" They only did/do it once a month, on a Saturday. There wasn't hundreds or thousands of players to show up, but they usually had a pretty good turnout doing in once monthly. As well as selling/trading crafted goods they would also have trivia and other smaller events as well. Something like that might work if it's well planned out.
