Still really missing auction house.

I just resubbed after a couple of years away. One of the reasons i stopped playing back then was the lack of an auction house. I was/am mostly interested in buying stuff -not selling.
Sadly the whole process with running back and forth and checking out the various guilds kiosks were just too horribly. I play games to have fun, not do chores i might as well do at work. I would assume that most people would want a system that let them easily browse available goods and then make a purchase. Just like E-Bay, Amazon etc. Would anyone here want to get in their car and drive back and forth between stores to find something they were looking for instead of using google or a online marketplace like ebay? I assume the answer is a resounding NO.
Well the same goes for me in game, i don't want to saddle up my horse and ride around to the various kiosks to find what i'm looking for. My time is too limited for that.

Now i am sure there are those who appreciate the way the system works right now. With the limitations placed on selling stuff, there are far fewer sellers than there would have been with a regular global auction house. And thus a sellers market. Asking those sellers what system they want is like asking someone with a limited monopoly if they want said monopoly to go away with the following losses in income. What answer do you expect to get? Its like asking someone if they are ok with cutting their salary.

Remember that most people who play this game are not hardcore sellers, they are just people that from time to time want to buy and sell something. Why make things hard for them?
They by far make up the actual population, and are the ones who keep this game alive. Not the small select group of greedy businessmen who profit from the current system.

Please add a global auction house for the benefit of the masses!

This is a role playing game, so keep in mind that ancient Tamriel did not have electricity or the internet. Also, you must be young because many of us here remember NOT having the internet and having to jump in our cars and drive store to store to find out what they had. It wasn't a big deal, it was what we were used to. Now, the age of laziness, people expect instant gratification with no work or effort involved. While it may be a pain to shop store to store, it's easy to get around via Wayshrine and hit all the major Trader hubs in a short period of time.

Also, another FYI, almost every poll on the subject had the NO to auction house winning.
