This game insists on no auction houses. Fine, it's an interesting idea, and I respect it.
But given the current state of the game, and the drop in general activity, trade guilds need a boost.
a) increase the guild size to at least 1000, but ideally to as much as 5000. That would create a much more vibrant market.
b) Please please please fix the dreadful guild store search functionality. It really is awful. We need people to be able to search for items they want.
With these two fixes, I think the economy game would become much more interesting.
