You can sell your stuff in zone if you do not want to take advantage of a guild vendor.and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."7 -

Very true.
And someone can be a member of one of the many tracing guilds that get decent locations and some have weekly/monthly dues or raffle ticket requirements. Turn off guild chat and then they cannot be annoying.2 -

because I'd much rather spend the limited time I have going from shop to shop and using a horrid AI that doesn't even allow me to search for a specific item name (consoles).
At this point ESOBAY seems the only hope

✭✭✭✭✭Because it's not suppose to be like other traditional MMORPG games.
That andthe devs who came from DAoC had guild based and house based trader systems that worked just fine.
All this game is missing is an actual housing zone for such-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

Harder to corner a market and jack up prices on commonly traded goods with the guild trader system. It also provides a more interactive experience, being in a guild where everyone shares the singular purpose of wanting to sell at a specific location and keep said location.
I will agree that the UI is bad at the moment, but that can be fixed without overhauling the trade system.4 -
Spacemonkey✭✭✭✭✭guild vendors are a joke. its a trading mini game for people that are too obsessed with making money. The lack of an established non instanced area where people can peddle etc... makes it incredibly hard to sell things through chat consistently, again advantaging those that want to play the game making virtual money. Understand I have nothing against that, except when it directly deteriorates the game for those that dont. This isn't Trade Market Moguls online. (or eve.....) Stop pretending the majority of players profit and like this trading system, do simple math and check how many players in this self proclamed "million player mmorpg" CAN actually sell stuff through vendors and you'll see its obvious most people don't bother selling ANYTHING because the system is crap and most of the stuff they end up with is bound anyway.
Sry. stupid trading systems gets me ranting every time.4 -
Neoicelord✭✭✭An Auction House is (IMO) is as important to the mmorpg experience as dungeons and raids. To not have this core feature (IMO) makes ESO a secondary mmo which i can play on and off but never comit to. Maybe i am wrong but that is my opinion.3

Heh....on one hand you have people claiming global markets cause rampant undercutting, and on the other, people claiming that prices get cornered and raised. Which is it?Edited by Drachenfier on June 22, 2017 6:59PM0 -

exactly the opposite rite? if every independent player lists items then supply goes up and demand goes down. No guild can control the independents.
You see this is an Alliance versus Browncoats issue... Guild traders are the Alliance.0 -

✭✭You know it isn't a bad thing for an MMO to be at least somewhat different from all of the other ones out there. ESO works fine without an auction house, like it or not.Beware the battle cattle, but don't *fear* the battle cattle!0 -
portnumbaySoul ShrivenI stop playing this game since I found it hard to sell stuffs and earn money. I stopped counting how many time I chat on zone asking for joining guild traders... fyi, I play 2-3 hours a day, and selling stuff on chat zone is just meh for me.2 -

No, they like it because it makes it harder.

Yea I misunderstood his original point and edited my response, but it doesn't change the fact that the anti-AH crowd is all over the place with their arguments against it. Most of which are incorrect, as anyone that's ever played an MMO with a traditional AH can attest to.0
