Do you want ESO's guild trader system to be reworked to a global auction house?

    No, but something has to change. The outrageous prices of traders has a ripple effect that does real harm, particularly to the newest and poorest players.

    Players don't have to play the outrageous prices. Unlike a centralized where everything is listed auction house people can check the individual trader kiosks to find lower prices. Those that have no patience and aren't going to farm the stuff themselves will pay the outrageous prices, thus proving that the prices might be high, but were still acceptable to someone.

    The newest/poorest players can, if they really want something, find out how to go about getting the item, or getting the gold to buy the item. It might not be as hard as they assume; I pointed out to someone complaining another player left trash worms behind when looting a node that, at that time, worms were selling for 45 gold each. People fishing for Perfect Roe *always* need bait....

    Of course not !

    A global AH would be completely dumb.
    The current system is incredibely fun and well made.

    you don't know if for sure, only some comments here.

    In this case poll must be separated from PC and consoles.

    YES...
    it is such a pain to have to go around tamriel looking for that set piece you didnt want to farm or that specific potion you couldnt craft...
    it would make traders in less populars worth more money (which is a good thing imo)
    Obviously rich people in the game would abuse this and buy out every trader they can to control pricing and who gets to trade but i honestly feel consumers matter enough to give it a try and that maybe it will take awhile but other guilds will break into the market with a little bit of strategy (selling without access to a trader).....
    eso is kind of old so economy stuff is kind of irrelevant but if it were always this way it would be a much more used feature in eso....
    would be cool if they added extremely rare drops to the game like say they only drop like 3 times a year randomly and you could auction them off or keep them forever like a lightning staff that makes its heavy attacks channel to other enemies around the target that would be so cool.

    And talking to friends in the same guilds as me, chat on console, guild fb group, discord... (I play on console). Obviously I havent polled everyone who plays on console, but forums are not particularly representative either of the full population
