A suggestion I believe would benefit all

Hey, I joined 3 days ago and not sure where to post this. I feel like purchasing items could be improved a lot. I know we have The Guild Store which allows guild members to trade one another. But by any chance is it possible to add a global market? Like the Guild Store, a place where every player can purchase and sell their items to other players (but without having to enter a guild)? Things like iron ores take forever to farm, and even longer to purchase (because you'll never find them in a Guild Market; someone else will buy them all before you and then sell it for a higher price). Right now Guild Stores are scattering the items everywhere, which isn't at all necessary.

If there were a global trade market, everyones items would be in 1 place, and would promote selling for newcomers that don't wish to join some random guild just to sell their stuff. A game that has this already would be SW:TOR. You search what item you want, and it shows you all the sellers + their asking price. You then buy whichever you want, and end up saving a ton of money because you don't get ripped off by people that want to create some ridiculous price for their stuff. This is also helpful for armor. Sometimes a guild just doesn't have an armor piece you want, and the person that does have it would rather just deconstruct it rather than put it in a Guild Store knowing that no one will find and buy it (unless they underprice it). Also a search option would be nice, for convenience sake.

Anyway great job on the game. Loving it so far.

    This topic is not new. We have seen many discussions about a global auction house or the likes.
    Thinks this is a good idea.

    It's been discussed to death. It's highly unlikely we'll get an auction house, but some excellent suggestions cropped up on the forum that would make trading easier without destroying the flavor of smaller, individual traders (for example here). Hopefully ZOS will consider this feedback.

    As for hot commodities like ore, have you tried looking in zone chat? Every faction has a major trading hub or two, you may not have access to it yet if you just started playing, but later these things won't be so difficult to find. Although people usually harvest higher level materials. Why do you want to buy iron ore anyway? There are tons of this stuff on the starter islands.

    There is a great chance, IMO, there may be a global auction house sometime after console releases. Got to keep things "simple" for the console crowd ya know?
