How about Guild Stores for the Fighters and Mages Guilds?

People talk about Global Auction Houses and people rarely agree, but here's what I'm thinking...Guild Stores...for the already existing Guilds within the game. Fighters Guild, Mages Guild...and possibly even the Undaunted.

To sell in the Guild Store, you'd have to reach Rank 10 of their respective skill line AND complete their main stories with any of your characters.

They would function exactly the same as existing Guild Stores, but the Store itself will be accessible at any of their Guild Halls (Enclave in the Undaunted's case). The stores would always be in the same place, no need to worry about switching traders every other week.

As for limitations, players could only have 10 listings in each store. This would allow players who weren't part of a trading guild to still sell some stuff on the side, while at the same time players who are actually part of a trading guild can sell more stuff due to the higher number of listings they can have at once.

The developers could even add special items to these guild stores themselves when they feel like mixing things up.

    Yeah i like the idea
    Its a good compromise between auction house and guild store

    And as guild get added they could give them a store (before someone cry p2w it would be no differant than guild kiosk getting added in newer city)

    You mean for Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and Psijic Order? I'd definitely be down for that.

    They are not player guilds. Merely NPC guilds.

    I do not know if a levy is charged on items sold through a player established guild. Having a levy or tax of say 5% or 10% on in game, not player established, guild sales would somewhat mitigate any offence to those in trading guilds that are player established. If player established guilds already have an in built (by game developers) levy then setting a higher levy in non player established guilds could be the way to go.

    As things stand it is impossible to sell items in a 'store' unless you are in a player guild and, although the developers want it this way for reasons they see as good, there are many posts in the forums and other online media that suggest players think this inability to sell to other players via a store is unfair to those who do not want to join a guild.

    Having guild stores with limitations and a levy will still, no doubt, have trade guilds angered but it will make for a better experience for non player guild players.
