After we get 6, people will want 7, then 8, etc.

So? What if folks wish to be in even more guilds with more new friends? What is the harm?

The obvious answer is that it would add to the server load. To us, a 6th guild is just another line in our guild list. I have to think that the server would see it very differently.

If we accept the official explanation that the individual character achievement system was stripped out in order to free space on the database for new content, then we can reasonably assume that the provision of extra inventory, bank and furnishing slots as well as additional guilds and guild traders will not be provided.

The best solution all round would be for the guild trader system to be dropped so that the existing guild allowance could be devoted to the other purposes like social, PvP, and adventuring, and the provision of a central trading hub with a proper listing and search function would remove the need for addons and third party apps on PC. These changes would also very likely have a beneficial effect on performance.

I agree. The mass exodus from the game would free up all kinds of resources for the few that remain.

We could get rid of trials and all associated gear. That would have the same impact.

switching to an AH would not create a " mass exodus ". That's just something people who actually like the trader system falsely claim. Some people might leave but there would be no noticeable loss of players when you log in every day. The game offers much more than just trading.

The pessimist in me would expect that a global store front of any type simply would not work and people would end up just selling stuff in Zone chat. To that end, I expect the game would seem more populated and active, just due to more people in zone chat hawking stuff.

See, I don't think they have a very scalable and robust database capable of handling high traffic in the volume they demand. Maybe a fault, or maybe just asking for more than what technology can reasonably offer. Either way, a limitation to a global store. The same reason why I don't think they will add more guild slots.

Shouldn't even have more than 1, so adding them is a No for me.

This kinda stuff annoys the heck outta me. You wanna be in one only? Be in one then. Im in at least 10 on discord. Its annoying that i cant at least ave one more so i dont need to make the choice between my trader that supports my end game or my actual end game guilds.

i dont think that switching to a central auction house would cause a mass exodus, but it will cause prices for some things to quadruple when flippers can actually more easily corner the market on a single sellable item

ive played games with a central auction house, and ive seen that kind of thing happen from time to time

good luck waking up one day and a simple item like potato provisioning ingredient goes from costing like 40g each to 10,000 gold each because theres nothing else listed
