Does the game have an auction house yet?
Shelved it a while back. Wanted to check if the game has finally received the much-needed auction house, and hopefully some other important MMO features it lacked. Brief "yes" or "no" will suffice. Thanks.

✭On PS4 we have Trading communities. Theres one with 1k members, and I believe its growing as no-one know it exist.
I still say only thing this game needs is somekind of Outlaw Den service for global search, if you really need something, you can use it, but it cost you money.
Btw, IC is great example why this system is good, Im part of 3 trading guild and its just good prices can vary so much they do, so no more under-cutting.Edited by Sausage on October 18, 2015 5:28AM0 -

No, actually what this game desperately needs is the guild store interface to be greatly improved. I know this won't help you guys on console, but on PC we use addons like AwsomeGuildStore that lets you customize the search way more and even save favorite searches. The best part of the addon is that it saves the search criteria when you go from one trader to another, suddenly it's just a game of running up to the next trader, searching, looking, then repeating. Searching for stuff with the default UI was always such a hassle, especially with more complicated searches, so I do understand why people ask for a global auction house so much, but I think with some adjustments to the guild trader screen, this wouldn't be such an issue.[DC/NA]3 -

✭No but you have google shopping and if you know what you want, it takes about 30 seconds to find the competitive deals. Compare that to visiting every guild trader across Tamriel.
What school of magick would that google device fall under? Or is it some dwemer construct?
In other words, there's no internet connecting all the traders in Tamriel. Therefore connecting them would be lore breaking unless there was some clever way of doing it.
Regardless, a lot of people do not want a global auction house, the developers included. So you can argue it being easier until you're blue in the face, but that doesn't mean it's automatically better for this game. Maybe it would be better for your game, or some peoples games, but just not better for the game.
They could probably do away with the whole crafting station thing, and just have drop down menus to accomplish the same thing from anywhere in the game, that would no doubt be much easier than the current setup, but many would argue that it wouldn't be better than the current setup. Point being, easier doesn't always mean better in video games.[DC/NA]1 -

No, but just because I spend an hour shopping for shoes on the Internet doesn't mean I want to do the same damn thing in a game.

No, not the past, because MMO's of the past actually HAD auction houses and (gasp) the inclusion of an AH most certainly did not "destroy the economy" in those games.
Matter of fact, I'll go so far as to say that the most vocal supporters of the current system are those profiting the most from it and they do not want to lose those profits by having a global auction house equalize the economy.I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
3) Difficulty slider.
4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.4 -

PinoZino✭✭✭✭Former Diablo 3 Game Director Jay Wilson admitted during a talk at GDC 2013 in San Francisco that both of Diablo 3's Auction Houses (both the real-money and the in-game gold item auction house) "really hurt the game." Wilson said that before Blizzard launched the game, the company had a few assumptions about how the Auction Houses would work: He thought they would help reduce fraud, that they'd provide a wanted service to players, that only a small percentage of players would use it and that the price of items would limit how many were listed and sold.
But he said that once the game went live, Blizzard realized it was completely wrong about those last two points. It turns out that nearly every one of the game's players (of which there are still about 1 million per day, and about 3 million per month, according to Wilson) made use of either house, and that over 50 percent of players used it regularly. That, said Wilson, made money a much higher motivator than the game's original motivation to simply kill Diablo, and "damaged item rewards" in the game.

"When we initially designed and implemented the auction houses, the driving goal was to provide a convenient and secure system for trades. But as we've mentioned on different occasions, it became increasingly clear that despite the benefits of the AH system and the fact that many players around the world use it, it ultimately undermines Diablo's core game play: kill monsters to get cool loot," explained Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls production director John Hight.
And with that, Blizzard will be doing away with both the gold AND real-money auction house system in Diablo 3. The shutdown will occur on March 18, 2014, so we still have a bit of ways to go.

Then you would be saying incorrectly.
I have been a supporter of the current system since kiosks were implemented as an addition and I could count the number of items I have ever sold in this game on my fingers. Easily. I have only ever sold items through a trading guild if I found there was no interest in them in my main guild... and when I did so, I did so for rock-bottom prices that were barely above the mats value from decon.
There you are, you have been demonstrably disproven. What will your next accusation be I wonder?2 -
NobleNerd✭✭✭✭After riding around a large amount of zones last night looking for certain armor from guild traders, I remembered why an auction house/horse would be so much more convenient.
Unless I really need something badly I don't bother to shop for an item anymore. As far as armor, unless it is for a max level toon, it isn't worth the effort to search for specific gear. I craft pieces and move on.
A more centralized auction system would be better.... and it really needs to be an auction system not this silly store system. I want bids and buyouts.0 -

They don't event know what was the past auction house system in MMO. :d
People just don't like shopping and blame game system for that, lol.
They go to the most popular shopping location on craglorn where is 5 auction houses and got a mind-blow, game is to hard for them.
