Would you pay a 5% listing fee to use a global auction house?

✭✭✭✭✭k... well have you ever experienced a player run vendor? I can't believe people just shut down ideas on these boards with very little explination other than "no". Individual vendors are fantastic when done right. Inside player homes in cities... This game if set up differently would've been so great.vladimilianoub17_ESO1 wrote: »No,I like the system.Also for many trade guild owners,managing the trade guild is a gameplay on its own,It gives enjoyment to them.Also I enjoy the activities they do to get money for the kiosk auction like raffles and item auctions.My favorite? 60 day time card raffle!!!!
LOL. I always get that. I think there's an obligatory
I have an un-posted concept about adding the Merchant's Guild to ESO. This guild would add a set of skills that would enable a player to create and man a player-store.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

No, attacking or pickpocketing Auction Horse will trigger a 35k damage shield, and he has a 24k unarmed strike. He is seriously impacted by caltrops though.

Do a poll on how many people have played an MMO for 6 months straight or longer aside from this, listing off however many top ones poll allows for and a "no" answer......and then you will understand why people just say no without* explanation or say "go play WoW if that's what you want"

✭✭✭✭✭NoNo. Ive explained why long time ago.
1. Unification of prices - it means that there wont be an option to buy something cheaper or sell for more.
2. Imagine you are trying to sell something e.g. some upgrade mats. You put them on the store and a few seconds later someone puts them to, but for -1 gold. Your position droped down and you can wait whole weeks to be on the top again.
3. Guild importance - if i could have access to global ah, i dont need guilds for traiding.
4. "Social gameplay"
5. I dont have any problems with things that i want to find.

No
I'm glad for you, but how many trade guilds are you in? I mean, I guess this game's system is good for people who want to be in trade guilds, but what about people who don't.
I'm in three, but only two of them are any good. The best one I am in is a fairly new guild. The owner holds a weekly contest to raise money for the guild merchant.
No reason not to join a trade guild. There isn't a need for human interaction if you are shy or whatnot. Everyone is just there to sell stuff. I didn't want to at first because I usually only join guilds or clans with people I actually know, but all it took was a few replies on the guild recruitment forums and by the time I got home from work I was ready to sell my wares.

If we start thinking that way, there should be a way to finish the game for players who don't want to fight, a way to pvp for people who don't want to go to Cyrodiil, a way to craft stuff for people who don't want to invest skill points into crafting, and a way to complete trials for people who don't want to group up. And so on.
There are no cons to joining a trading guild. People who (whatever the reason) still don't want to join a trading guild... don't trade and have to live with it. Or better said, without it. End of story.

That's a false extension of the argument about having to be in a guild in order to sell stuff.
A more accurate extension would be to ask how happy you would be if you couldn't fight unless you were in a guild, couldn't pvp unless you were in a guild, couldn't use the crafting stations unless you were in a guild, or couldn't do a trial unless you were in a guild?
No core part of a game should be locked behind a barrier, and the trading system is a core part of any MMO and should be open to all with no guild membership or other restriction, just like the other core parts you mention.0 -

✭NoRather not see a Global AH in this game. Maybe city based AH but that is it. every game i have played with a GAH has had the economy ruined beyond compare when it comes to new players joining, from WoW,EQ2,GW2,SWTOR and many more.IGN: Ki'rah

FelixTheCatt✭✭✭I'd opt for a global AH if it were an option. Doesn't appear it will be so voting is pretty much a moot point. I myself don't see what about having global would not work.
If WoW's ah seems bad or broken , I question how good you are at buying/selling. I used it for years just fine and never saw any issues whatsoever. Not saying I want EsO to clone it , it's obvious they dont intend to do anything like any other mmo. I'm just asking what is bad about it.
It's my opinion there definitely needs to be something completely different from whats in this game for sure. The one we have currently is excluding those of us that don't care to be part of someones trading guild. I've read most of those guilds have selling requirements like minimum number of sales or they get bumped. To me , that's the joke , not an open to anyone AH.Xbox - Kuchini07
