I'm always in favor of a free market rather than one with artificially manipulated prices.

Open Auction house would be a benefit to sellers because you would have more customers, a benefit for buyers because there's more competition, and players because there would be less spam in zone chat. The natural free market system would fairly account for supply and demand, allowing the players to decide prices and value of goods.

There is no benefit to the current system. It makes finding items difficult, hugely limits the customer base, drives up prices with artificial imbalance of supply and demand, hurts profits with artificial scarcity of vender locations, is prone to bugs causing guilds with honest bids to lose out, and discourages interaction between players.

This is definitely one of the most bias polls I've seen in a while lol.

The devs have said repeatedly that the only type of auction system we could have in ESO is a Global Auction house. That makes the choice pretty clear to me. Either you want a global auction house, or you want to keep the current system and continue to tweak it. I'm really not sure why you consider it biased.

What makes this poll biased, is the fact that there are only two options and both aim at changing/tweaking the current system

I agree, but the third option would than be "it's perfect as it is" and that kind of option should not be a part of any poll, as it is utterly ridiculous.

You don't get to decide that. Many people are happy with the current system as it is, you don't have the expertise or foresight to judge whether another system would be better or not.

Biased poll is biased.

For all of the No Tweakers, what do you think about this "Tweak"?

I want somewhere I can sell my stuff without having to run around for hours trying to get in to a guild that both have enough active members and/or a guild vendor.

Every other mmo I have played have had a global auction house that anyone could use, and that have worked just fine so I don't see why they try to invent the wheel once more, ESO does not really have that many players and are for sure not getting anymore by trying to change things that most mmo players are used to. Not saying the guild stores are a bad idè for guilds. They should have both then and not just replace what people are used to with a other system that does not work as well.

I am sorry but I have not seen a broken economy in a mmo yet. as long as people create the economy them self like with the auction house's it can't really break, people sell Ore's and flowers for a price it goes a little up and down but so does the stock marked irl and the world still goes around. I find it strange that this question never comes up on ESO's live streams.

Only thing that can really break the economy are gold sellers or game's where you buy in-game money for irl money.

I love this game it had bugs at the start like all mmo's and needed a lot of fixing and tweaking and I can look past that, but looking past the fact that they did not implement a real auction house to ESO when that's one of the standard's (and a big one as well) to have in mmo's this day's. I do really wanna like this game but to not implement something so important as a auction house to a mmo is just to big of a deal to me since I want to be able to go out on adventures and find stuff and then being able to head to town and "sell my stuff" So I can't say I care that they go BoP I will most likely not play it much anyway before they give us a real auction house. And when looking at the votes here they really should consider having both types, both global and guild auctions.

A little of topic. But in general I think Zenimax need to look more at what they have done wrong then what they have done untill now, Not to say they have made some good change's as well in the past month's but let's look at some of there cooperators to ESO that have had a lot lower budget's they thought they gave the players what they wanted. But when the player's played the game they did not really find it to there liking and went back to there old games instead. What did this game-developer then do, changed the hole game so it would better suit what the player's really wanted. And now a few month's later players are running back to this game. I did mention they had a smaller budget then ESO right ? ESO goes BoP instead of changing there game more...

I'd like to see a Brumart, like an NPC-run store to sell and buy.

Trade guilds are incredibly easy to get into, and I've yet to hear a valid argument for why someone wouldn't take advantage of one. The only people being penalised in the way that the trade guild haters are stated atm are those who actively choose not to join a trade guild - ergo they're penalising themselves.

some of them that actually sell charge people to be in their guild

the better the trading guild the more they charge

Why. Won't. This. Topic. Just. Die?!?!

The reason it won't die is because the current system is frustrating to use.

When ZeniMax announced the change to the payment model, they also changed the targeted player base. So you will now have to make many other changes, such as the trading system.

I'll wish in one hand and spit in the other, see which one fills up faster.

If current trends continue, we get what the F2P/B2P crowd wants. If they want an auction house, Zo$ will provide. If not, then no. /rant /sarcasm

This is an old Poll. In any case, I didn't intentionally leave out a "nope, I like it as it is" option. I just didn't consider adding that at the time. If I did, then that's the option I would have chosen. It isn't biased because it wasn't intentionally left out. If I could change the poll to include that option, I would. The entire premise of the poll is whether or not you want a global auction house. Period.

I like the current system its something new and special

Sure, how much crowns will this cost me?

I vote yes for anything that makes ESO a full featured MMO. Why not?! Go for the gold! (no pun intended)
