If we have an AH here, it would have to be a global AH similar to GW2. Is that what you want?

Because we could use a new poll created after the implementation of kiosks. Most polls (if not all) on this issue were created before kiosks

Not having to use an addon to know what exactly was sold for example. A better search function (search bar) w/o an addon for another example.

Cause Nadius was nice enough to use the search function to resurrect an old thread instead of making a new one. Then Alphashado made a new one anyway. I mean c'mon after 8 months we finally got someone to use the search function

Oh. Well, there is an option for me, then.

I know but 8 months of trying to remember we have a search function. 8 months of hard work getting one person to finally use it down the drain. Guess we gotta start over.
Damn you search function! Damn you to hell!1 -
NadiusMaximus✭✭✭✭✭Yes, I would like to see a global auction house.I tried finding the first one, but couldn't.
Did it to prove a point to a guild member that even though the same old *** gets talked about in the forums, nobody uses search, they just remake the same old thread every day.
Really, they should combine threads that are in the same nature, just to clean it up a bit. It would let us find stuff easier also.
I may just start necro in stuff that hadn't been debated lately. Has any one got an extra wolf hound?
From the one I pulled from the grave, rings true. And yes I picked the biggest, most beaten rotten corpse of a dead horse I could think of.

✭Yes, I would like to see a global auction house.As far as I see it, better prices as a buyer and faster sales as a seller. I would like to have the convenience of one stop shopping.
However, they won't do it. The best we can ask for is a way to search several kiosks at once, and maybe an improvement of who can use the kiosks.Edited by SFBryan18 on December 28, 2014 10:47AM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I wish I liked the system we have better than I do. I resent having to belong to trade guilds in order to be able to sell things. And I really hate how much effort is involved in finding even the simplest things like crafting mats. I don't care that it's "more realistic" to be honest. I have better things to do with my gaming time that traipse from kiosk to kiosk trying to put a set together or find a stack of red wheat.
I'd like to see the kiosks themselves remain but have each one sell a particular type of item and within levels attached to the level of the zone the kiosk is in. I don't want them owned by trading guilds, those I actually want to go away. So say I'm in Bangkorai and I'm shopping for armor. At the armor kiosk there I'll only be able to find armors of the levels appropriate for that zone. Ditto weapons and enchants and potions, all of which might have their own kiosk. Crafting mats, of course, would be the same, with those that don't have a particular level attached to them available anywhere but upper level crafting mats only being available in the appropriate zones.
This system would maintain the feel and look of the little marketplaces where the kiosks are but would stop penalizing players who don't want to belong to trade guilds merely in order to sell and would streamline the shopping experience as well.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!2 -
Hanokihs✭✭✭✭✭No, I would rather see the kiosk system tweaked.Technically, I want both. I want to keep kiosks the same, but also be able to search them all at once, like a ledger in each alliance's capitol city. This is already somewhat possible if you go to the bank, so why not just expand it for convenience? It'd even help keep all prices fair and competitive, I think."I haven't really played much yet, but lemme tell you all about how the game should include X and be a lot more like Y!" - Half the posters on this forum."I've been here for years, and lemme tell you all about how they should never change or evolve Z, because then the game would be ruined forever." - The other half of posters on this forum.0 -
Theosis✭✭✭✭Yes, I would like to see a global auction house.Id like to see a market area were we can put up our own kiosk.

✭✭No, I would rather see the kiosk system tweaked.Kiosks should be accessible to all players and not just guild members. Let guilds gain a cut to cover the costs and make a small profit if necessary.
Players without a trading guild are pretty much left in the cold right now, that's never good for a healthy economy.
If an AH then only for the cities and never global. Personally I wouldn't mind having a shop in a town that offers me some good deals, while a different shop in another town offers something else.
This would add some realism to the game, right now it makes no sense what we have. Even a merchant would want to buy from a customer.1 -

What the point of bidding on guild trader every week then?Make sweetrolls, not nerfs!1 -

The problem with allowing everyone to access any trader they want would be that some would be full and others would be empty. I actually like the idea that each kiosk just sell specific types of goods like the NPC vendors, but they are listings from a larger faction database.Edited by SFBryan18 on December 28, 2014 12:56PM1 -

What?
How is it more beneficial to manipulators to have to try and manipulate a hundred of independent kiosks than to manipulate a single AH? That makes no sense.3 -

Yeah, what the profit of it to guild and guild members? AFAIK weekly bid on Rwal'kha traders is about 500-700k. And now anyone can easily list items.Make sweetrolls, not nerfs!0 -

Lets say,
I put an item in your guild kiosk. That item has a buyout of 1000 gold. Now SFBryan18 sees it and buys it.
He now has to pay 1000 gold.
Of those 1000 gold you get a cut. These cuts guilds can define themselves, so that we actually have a bit of a competition in regards of potential "customers". Lets assume you put the cut at 10%.
While @SFBryan18 paid 1000 gold, I would only get 900 and you 100.
There could be a Kiosk in every town that guilds could bid for. One sells provisioning mats, another alchemy stuff, again another armor, raw materials ...
I would find that a lot of fun to be honest.1 -

So there is no extra profit for guild. And now why peolple should join guilds and care of it if all can just list items on any kiosk.
IMO allowing to list items to all non-guildes is not so good.Make sweetrolls, not nerfs!0 -

I think you don't understand the whole system that well
The guilds profit are 10% or even more. That gold you get as a guild master, with that gold you can improve your guild, even cash it out to members if you like or buy mats for guild events such as trials.
And people should join guilds because they like the people in them, besides that a guild member would get the full buyout and not just 90%.
So guild & members have a profit, I hope its clearer now.0 -

Well, it's clear from the beginning. Now all in guilds need to pay listing fee and some % from every sale. In that case, you should increase listing fee and % from sales even more and it will have no sense. In other case noone will join any trading guild only because there is no point of it. Not all players are friendly and helpful.Edited by AshySamurai on December 28, 2014 2:16PMMake sweetrolls, not nerfs!1
