Any plans for a universal Auction House, without limit on items in Auction House for sale?

I understand we had a new patch that had a major impact of ESO in the way of guild Auction House(s). The items in the Auction House are not selling as great as I would expect it. Actually with very low turn out, I have some guild leaders that can afford to bid for an NPC auctioneer, and some that have no money to afford the competition(s). This makes selling the items very grueling. Because it makes players practically, forcing them to buy extra slots to hold more items or make extra characters to hold actual sellable items. Selling fantastic items you have, to an NPC shouldn't be really an option. You get a much small return compared to auction house based price and maybe even more. I understand that Universal Auction Houses has had bad sides as well. But considering the situation about how the auction houses are, being established at the moment, this is highly un sustainable. It's not fair for other guilds who may not afford it. And definitely not fair for the player. Who is trying to sustain him/her self through economic means.
So my question to you is will we be expecting a Universal auction house based for each faction? And if so when should we be expecting it?

    Nay, guild store and guild traders are enough.

    Maybe a personal stand where you can sell some of your crafted stuff..

    PS: It is not guild auction house, there is mo auctions, only stuff for sale.

    Well considering the situation about "Guild Stores" this is unsustainable, by any measure. If anything they should consider making it a universal store then if not an auction.
    There are more people willing to buy merchandise 1st. They can price compare items listed to find the most affordable.
    2nd. Makes it easier for the consumer to find the general location. such as the main city in the region. To shop & sell, rather than relying on, hundreds of NPC sellers, to each guild out there and hoping yours gets the bid.

    Or even hunting down the correct item. You would like to get, it would be a difficult task for any single player to search regions high and low for items. when they can be listed in a single area to sell

    Why do you think guild stores as they are are unsustainable?

    I dont care about an auction house, but a limit on items is a must, I dont need people cornering the market and controlling prices

    Hmm..I am pretty sure that was a part of the reason that ZOS made the decision to refrain from a straight on universal auction house. o-0

    A real AH would be nice, current system is silly.

    /shrug. There are pros and cons galore to either argument. I'm not a fan in the least of the guild store model. Doing away with guild stores would be a burden on a system that houses a metric ton of players.

    If a full scale AH existed, servers would have to be smaller.
    TBH, I see no downside to smaller servers at all. At all.

    What would smaller servers mean? A real AH. No difference at all to PVE. PVP would possibly see smaller zerg balls; which in and of themselves are a major issue that needs to be addressed anyway.

    Perhaps ZOS should consider a multiserver setup similar to foregone MMOs. Megaservers just introduce too many variables and make balancing and managing a zound of players difficult.

    Too bad ZOS has played it's hand though, it's almost a pipe dream at this point.

    Until they finally get it through their thick-headed skulls, that an Auction House is the most requested feature people want.

    And by your post seeing how there's a new thread like this everyday, it's STILL the most requested feature.

    So, I'd say, until an actual Auction House is implemented, you're going to continue to see threads like this, everyday.

    That about answers your question, right?
