    You are quite mistaken. If we ever got a global auction house built into the game, you can be sure that trading guilds will have absolute control over the prices unlike how it works right now.

    Yea, no. They wouldn't be able to keep up with the supply.

    Maybe not on fish and Ta. The more rare the item though and the easier it is for just three or four people to control the price.

    Exactly. It is not about the cheap stuff with infinite supply. You can be sure that prices on nirncrux, golden tempers, motifs, recipes, rare jewelry, sought-after equipment etc. would be several times of what they are now...

    It would be interesting to know if ZoS supports the idea of an addon working as an auction house... maybe Miat should be able to create a Baandari auction house
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    Then the price would increase naturally, irrespective of the mode which it was being sold.

    I think you are right.

    I really don't think that people would be too fussed over not having a global AH if the traders had better search abilities.

    One of the main frustrations, IMO of course, is that TTC doesn't work very well (slow to update) and you go to some far flung trader just to find out the item you wanted is gone.

    If we could have the traders remain but have the functionality of the addon I don't think we would see another 'AH" thread.

    Search, purchase and COD it to buyer all from the bank (or wherever, you guys think of something). Perfect.

    Anyway, someone at esuoi posted the following links:

    So some virus scanners consider these files malicious. It might be a false positive. Anyway, at the current moment I personally wouldn't touch this addon.

    I post it :wink:
    Allways check .exe files in such container.....many times they false postive sometimes not...
    Also the Author is really new to esoui and uploaded only one addon....so....I am personally carefull.

    For people looking to spread malware for their own gains, it is not really /that/ much effort if you know what you are doing. This would have been a great way for a bad person to gain access to a lot of people's ESO accounts had they used the exe to push a keylogger, and a great way to do even more harm in other areas had they been so inclined.

    That's how a lot of virus/malware/ransomware gets spread, take advantage of folks who think they are being helped.

    Well, this is what the TOS say (emphasis mine):
    You agree not to use any hardware or software or any other method of support that is not authorized by ZeniMax or that may in any way influence or advantage Your playing abilities, or influence or advantage Your use of the Services. Third party tools, the use of "bots", "speed hacks", "deep-link", "page-scrape", "robot", "spider", algorithms or other programs that copy or monitor any part of the Services (including, but not limited to, the Game(s) and/or forums), software that transmits, manipulates, or distributes (including, but are limited to, "mirroring") the data stream or any aspect of the Services to another computer, server websites or other publication or distribution media, or software that permits You to use Services without human input are examples of methods not authorized by ZeniMax.
    If ZOS wanted to crack down on third-party auction house services like TTC and this new Nirn auction house, all they would need to do is reference the above TOS clause. But the fact that the clause exists isn't really enough to tell us how ZOS feels about these services. It's such a broad clause that it's effectively a blank check for ZOS to do whatever they want to censor people.

    My guess is that while ZOS might not actively endorse such services, it would be too much hassle to send out cease and desist letters to shut them down.

    The addon was for player to player sales. Not the traditional by system. Really think someone is going to wait for you to come online or finish that raid (your raid team is certainly not going to wait on you to send the CoD if they are trying for a score).

    It's also CoD. Trolls will come out and tie up some players goods for a few days until the mail is sent back to the sender.

    Fixing the search issue would help the buyers find things more easily, but wouldn't address the fundamental problem of the trading system having been designed around limiting the number of sellers it caters for and then only with the use of addons which aren't available to console players.

    I wouldn't touch it either right now (not that you can anyway) - not till the addon author comes back and clears it all up. My guess is it's a false positive, the only antivirus apps showing anything are the fringey crappy ones anyway.

    I would imagine that they would view this add-on differently to TTC and MM. In this case players would be bypassing the guild trader system. Part of that system is the 'tax' that gets deducted from the sale. This is a gold sink, and is designed to keep inflation under control. In other words, a pretty vital part of the in game economy.
