[Suggestion]Bulletin board instead of global auction house.

I was reading a lot of threads about auction house and other suggestions. And it's clear that the main problem of current guild traders system is a forced necessity to travel from one trader kiosk to another all over the Tamriel trying to find the item you need. And all this travelling can turn to the real waste of time if you find nothing in the end.

So, I have an idea.
What if ZOS will add a bulletin boards in the main cities with a catalog of all items in all current guild stores on them? Someting like a usual trader interface with filters and other features, but there all traders in Tamriel will be included.

How does it work?
Customer should go to the board, type the name of item he need (or just scroll a whole list of items in the stores as usual) and get the list of guild traders who has that item in their kiosks.
To prevent the global pricing issues, the prices on the bulletin board will never shown. There will be just an item and trader's location where you can go to buy it.

So, customers will be free of time-consuming traveling, role-players immersive will be safe, ESO still has its unique trading system without global auctions... Everybody's happy! :)

Fell free to say what do you think about it.

One of the two of us definitely has gone mad. It only remains to define whether this one is the whole world or just me.

    So it lists the items in the guild stores, doesn't say the price but tells the player where to go to get said item to save the running around? Not bad.

    The main problem is not travel, the main problem — horrible kiosk UI. Lack of search/filters/etc.

    Yes, that's what it does. I'm glad someone understand my abracadabrish English. :)

    What's with all these auction house threads all of a sudden?

    Same as every other time there is an explosion of them. People complain about a system they choose not to enter.

    There is website called Tamriel Trade Centre that lets you search for particular items. It's not 100%, as sometimes the items has been sold already. And it does mean that players need an add-on and a client that uploads their guilds' information. But I find it useful.

    The suggestion in the OP works for me. I think I mentioned it before, but every Guild Trader in the game is a member of the same faction (Gold Coast Trading Company), and I think it would be weird if that Company didn't require their employees to report back on who they were hired out to and what they were selling. So they just need to add an NPC somewhere in the game (logical location would be somewhere in each alliance capital) who would be the Gold Coast Trading Manager. Talking to them would give you access to the Gold Coast Trading Coster Roster ( < :D ) which would allow you to search all Guild Traders, and would also show you where each trader's Guild Kiosk is located.

    With 77 Kiosks there are ONLY 38,500 Trader Slots for the entire game.

    That means between 94.6% and 99.3% (depending on number of active accounts) of the entire playerbase will NEVER be able to "enter" the system, even if they wanted to.

    And that assume that every player that is in a trading guild is ONLY in one trading guild, and we already know that isn't true.

    Those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse.
    Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse.

    Well, I'm playing this game for one month, I'm completely newbie and a casual player. And I'm invited in 5 trading guilds, 3-4 of them has a trader all the time.
    For me it seems like if someone really wants to enter the trading system in this game, then he always could make it. PC-EU server though.
