I was bored, cat woke me up this morning and was browsing some threads while i wait to let dog back in, and i think i have a solution for the whole guild AH vs global AH, its actually a combination of threads. i was reading a thread where people complained about he gold sinks in the game, when the solution dawned on me. there is a way to make a global AH, but still make guild based AH the best solution, gold sink.
The thread i read complained that the gold sink for trade in the gAH is high and yea it kinda is, 25%, but that made me think, what if they implemented a global AH, and kept the 25% surcharge for the selling of goods, then went to the gAH and dropped the surcharge to say 5 % or 10%. This would allow people to choose to sell to a mass for far less profit, or sell to your guild for far more. think about it you sell something on the global store for 1k and get 750, but with the guild store you can charge less and make more. at 5% you could charge 800 and still make more than on the gloabl AH after the fees as the fee for 800 if only 40 at 5%meaning you made an extra 10 just because you chose to sell to guild mates over the masses
