Why not simply have Auction Houses where every one in Tamriel can freely exchange stuff.
Why not simply have Auction Houses where every one in Tamriel can freely exchange stuff.
Most other MMO's have them, but every time someone brings it up here, they get shouted down by the traders in the trade guilds who have a vested interest in keeping prices high and restricting access of others to the market. It really makes me angry that a handful of traders are the only ones who are allowed to sell anything in this game, with no way for anyone else to sell.
And before anyone pipes in with "Well, you could sell stuff in chat" that's like telling someone "Well, you can't vote, but you're free to stand outside a polling place begging for someone to vote *for* you." Standing on a street corner in Riften hawking goods in zone chat is not what I consider fair access to the market.
This game has needed an auction house for a long time. The traders claim that auction houses don't work, yet they sure seem to work just fine in every other MMO out there.
Sadly, ZOS tends to listen to a vocal minority on this and many other issues. I guarantee you that if you polled regular, average players and explained how an auction house works that most of them would be for it.

Imagine the lag/latency that would occur with a auctionhouse. 300+ people in the same spot. Good luck with that.
To put it bluntly: Guild Vendor suck and they dont work. Not only because its hard to find a guild with the items you want - forcing to go all around Tamriel looking for that extra Jazbay Grape. It sucks if you are part of a guild with no Guild Merchant. I have several legendary and useful items in my bank. No way to share with the world. Plus all those crazy taxes and guilding asking money. Like many console players I can spend a lot of time without playing the game, wich means guilds will kick me off.

Right now if I cant find what I need from the GV near Elder Wood, f**k it. I wont go around like an old lady in a giant shopping mall.
Sounds like you are in the wrong guilds.
Honestly, alot of us are very happy with the system as it is. Effort = rewards. Old ladies get the deals by looking round and finding deals. AH is way too open to market manipulation too.
join 5 good guilds with no fee, and you can search all their goods from one bank, sell your gear and profit. All problems fixed. Inform the GM you have breaks from the game, it list high value gold items when you do and they will be fine.
Why on earth would you trawl for day to day items like grapes?
Adapt and overcome. I, any many others I know, who like the effort / reward of current system, 100% do not want a AH. It would break a system that works well if you work it right. And put some effort in.

In most (all) games where there are AHs, there's a NPC for it in every big town. If it wasn't for what happened with the New Life Festival, I'd think you were smoking something really good for thinking only one place would have the AH npc.
