lets face it, guild vendors are only really used in the major cities in any decent amount of traffic, which leads the majority of trading guilds out in the cold.
that means that the majority of players do not have the opertunity to vendor their items to others on a fair basis because there is a limited amount of members per guild and a limited amount of guilds which can get a decent trader.
so if you are new, or casual gamer, or a returning player.
you = boned.
this leads to dis satisfaction.
this leads to less enthusiasm for the game
and ultimately more people leaving less people joining.
the trade system needs a total and complete revamp.
right now there are a small number of players getting stupid rich on the backs of the masses.
a game is somewhere you escape to, to avoid the brutal realities of the real world.
you dont want to spend hours trying to sell your stuff, you want to explore.
