    OP creates a silly poll which tells me they really think the AH idea is a joke. I have to agree with that since the game has done fine for most of the 5 years it has been out with a guild trader system. Great way to shed light on how these threads are silly.

    If I’d know that merchant x at the end of the world would have the item I need I might travel there. But I don’t travel across dead maps just to reach vendors that maybe could have something I need. It’s just silly.

    as an aside that is a valid point.

    Nah this poll is made like this just to false the result. You have just one agree option and many "disagree" options which are click baits, in the end the "disagree" voices are more spread so it looks like better for global AH lovers. Nevertheless majority doesn't want global AH, deal with it.

    "Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge

    Current system sucks for shoppers. If they did what Eve Online did, I would hate it slightly less. Having consolidated results from all sellers would at least help buyers since Zos insists on keeping this stupid system.

    Obligatory 'No' vote for the ten thousandth time, since the other nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine 'No to AH' polls weren't enough.

    How can it when it has to have all 2000 members up 24/7 buying all the perfect roe so you can't have any?


    I wouldn't mind seeing a central board in each zone that lists items for every trader in that zone. It shouldn't include prices though and you would need to travel to the vendors to purchase anything.

    This forum needs a "Auction House thread token" system. You only get one token to create an AH thread.

    I'm honestly just curious how quickly will you guys run out of them.

    While my preference is global AH's in other games, I think that the trader system would work much better for the buyers if they doubled the amount of traders in existing locations.

    I see no reason to trash the trader system if by simply adding more traders to existing locations will improve the current system.

    I would normally agree but with the numerous silly options I can only see this as a thread to troll those wanting an AH. It really goes a little to far for a well thought out poll intended to be biased.

    So once again, just keep what we have AND add a global market (GAH) as well. That way if you want to keep your stuff the same with your silly trade guilds and their rules, that's fine! It also give everyone else the ability to use the Global market if they wish.

    If we have both, everyone's happy right?

    Pointing out, one more time, that even if the devs had somehow decided that a global market system was a better idea after all, they couldn't go there now anyway - that would COMPLETELY *** off the entirety of the trade guild members, many of whom would leave.

    Since the apparent point lately is to show that this is a viable game with player account totals (more or less), I don't envision that happening.

    So where's the harm in adding the global market while still keeping the current system in the game?

    I don't know that there is one. I've just never played a game with a "hybrid" market system. I played WoW for years (2006-2013) and RIFT as well (2013-2016), and both had global systems - and no, on the servers on which I played, NO ONE was able to monopolize the market on ANYTHING. We had a couple people try once or twice - didn't work. People didn't put stuff on the AH at that point, they'd make sure those people weren't online (as both WoW and RIFT gave you the "who" option) and then people would list the "monopolist" items in chat for selling. I think one guy on Shadowsong managed to corner the market on something (don't now remember what) for about two days....

    I'm not sure I believe the devs would be interested in a hybrid system either. Still all too likely to upset a whole BUNCH of people.
