Auction House
Will there be a global auction house that factions are able to use to buy/sell goods withing the game, and maybe one neutral auction house so the all factions may be able to trade with one another?

✭✭✭People have been bitching for one since before launch. That and an inventory system just like every other MMO, a dungeon system just like every other MMO, end game just like every other MMO, PvP just like every other MMO, etc. etc.
After that they *** about how ESO is too much like every other MMO.

Khandi✭✭✭Yeah there are a lot. Your responses will range from we seriously need one to DEAL WITH IT! (which is the general response from the vacuous)One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.

✭✭✭✭✭Games can incorporate the basic core features of an established genre and still be different in plenty of ways to other games, just like clothes designers can come up with different styles of trousers without leaving out one leg or the waistband.
And yes, this game does need a public-facing trading mechanism, be it an AH or some other system that doesn't require you to join a gazillion guilds in order to place your wares before 3 other players. Or something like that.2 -

Let them *** then because we need an AH of some sort that does not require people to join guilds.
How about a pawn shop? Those would fit right in with the lore. Pawn shops have been around for about 5000 years.....One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.

Pristia✭✭DAoC and UO had housing that had personal merchants you could purchase to sell your items on them. I would like to see something like this instead of an auction house.You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

Sarenia✭✭✭✭✭Auction House thread #134,058 and counting!
In other news, there's a search function on the forum.
This topic has been discussed so fully that there is literally, _literally_, nothing more anybody could possibly say on the subject that hasn't already been said twice, checked for accuracy, nitpicked, compared to game 'n', and put through a meat grinder for good measure.Edited by Sarenia on April 24, 2014 8:42PM[beta_group_85b_9]1 -
Zakua✭✭✭Auction house or not..I find it crazy how they even close our trading threads down her in the forums!
I am shocked at how hard this MMO makes it for us to do things as a community.
It is just crazy how they hinder possible aspects of the game that could really promote a better over all player experience. I have no idea if an AH is a good or bad idea...but good lord give us some tools or a platform for us to do business with as a community.
Here is your new car (without the wheels)
Here is a pencil (without the graphite)
Here is a gallon of milk (without a container lol...)
They almost gave us all the pieces....
I mean don't get me wrong, I don't craft (to sell) or trade often, no AH has not had any effect on me (as far as I can tell) but I did see a player get his thread closed in the blacksmith sub forum for offering up armor for sale...I struck me as odd that they'ed close something like that.
Sooo in short I'm not bent or in a rage about no AH or no trading on forums...I just can't see why we wouldn't be able to exchange stuff on a more public/obvious to find platform...whatever it may be.Edited by Zakua on April 24, 2014 8:48PM0 -

I'm not against some kind of improvement to let us sell stuff outside guilds. In fact I had thought that that was supposed to be part of the purpose of claiming keeps and resources in Cyrodiil. What I am against is a copy/paste global AH."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you..."0 -

Thanks God that those Good Ol' Times of housing merchants are over! That was even worse than the Guild stores that the former DAoC developers invented now for us.Please remove @userid from Tamriel and replace it with our charnames1 -
Catches_the_Sun✭✭✭✭✭No Auction House!
I forgot how fun trading & bartering was in pre-Auction House MMOs. I haven't found an MMO that interested me much since WoW came out & flopped out it's sugar teat for everybody & seemingly every MMO since has followed suit.
When reading up on ESO, I saw that they had no Auction House, and that's when I signed up for beta. No Auction House means that towns are actually alive with people. It means that crafters socialize with each other, trading deconstruction items & research gear. It means that if I don't want to sell my Redguard motif for 400g because one sold for that price 2 minutes ago, I can hang on to it, go to a different zone, and sell it for 750g. It means that through the process of buying and selling recipes, I have actually met other Provisioners that I now regularly trade recipes with. I know the names & have actually spoken to every crafter that has made gear that I wear. Those are the interactions that can happen every day if you just socialize and use the tools available to you.Catches-the-Sun - Argonian Templar - Master Smith, Provisioner, Chemist & Tailor

Selling things isn't about socializing. It's about selling things.
If you want to socialize, that's fine. But let others use a convenient system to sell their stuff.
And it's not "good" that you can go to another zone and raise your prices. If a motif is worth 400g, it's worth 400g, and you shouldn't be able to inflate that.2 -

My point is that an auction house would prevent people like you from inflating things well beyond what they're actually worth.2 -

Oh, for the love of the Hist. I'm the problem now? This game was advertised from the very beginning as NOT having an Auction House. It was reinforced during Beta, and reinforced again during the AmA session a couple weeks prior to Early Access. Despite all of this, you guys bought the game...and now we get to listen to you complain about lack of an Auction House. There are plenty of MMOs out there that'll spoonfeed you.

Uh, no it won't. If anything, it would only serve to facilitate inflation. Why? You've monopolized the entire market system. It is far easier for a gold seller, for example, to buy out all iron bars and sell them at inflated prices if there is only one market people can go to."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you..."1 -
