The AH is not a placeholder?? Dear god! In that case imo it needs like a whole revamp...



My advice would be to Copypaste the GW2 auction house tbh.



Anyway my input:

Commodity broker:

-15 listing limit needs to GO. It's just insane, and should not exist. WHY.

-There should not be a fee on posting a buy order imho. Come on...

-Posting fees are bound only to the number of stuff you want to buy/sell... Why would I even bother posting 200 of X item for 3 copper for example if the posting fee of 200 of X item is 12 silver? Am I the only one not understanding something about this? If so explain.

-Please just put the Commodity broker next to the Auctioneer. (in Thayd atleast, not sure about Illium)

-I'm not sure why we can't see the actual listings of people (like in GW2). Is the reason for this to make it hard on people who play the trading game? To make it go hard or go home? (for CREDD it makes perfect sense, and I do hope very much that it stays this way (except for the average price, I hope that doesn't show for CREDD), but for everything else.. I don't get it)



Auctioneer: (VERY buggy at the moment)

-The search by name should be there by default.

(I can't really say any more about this as it's so bugged atm)

-I can't bid or buyout on anything, it just gives me a Debug message in the chat list

-The fee is INSANE, it took 66% of the buyout price I set as a posting fee. twice as much as the bid price!

-The item I posted to sell is not listed on the Sell tab (not the inventory part ofc, the actual big blank space on the right)

-Some category buttons are blank (like the weapon subcategory button)



General feedback:

-I'm not sure why the Commodity Broker and the Auctioneer are separated. I think they should be merged and both should work like the commodity broker, except showing the actual listings. Again, like in GW2. (I'm not a GW2 fanboy, but GW2 had the closest best trading system I've ever seen in an MMO, hands down.)

-and one last thing that imo would be a great quality of life increase: it'd be amazing if the AH would be accessible from anywhere. As in it being a UI element.

Why? Because it's an amazing thing to pass time with.

Waiting on people for a raid? Open up the AH, throw up some bids/listings.

Waiting for the dungeon/bg que to pop? Open up the AH, check out what's hot at the moment.

Your buddy who you're questing with is taking too long on a toilet break? Buy some crafting materials.

Obviously it can use some limitations like GW2 has, like you have to go to an Auctioneer to pick up your newly bought stuff/earnings, ect.



I simply don't see how it could hurt the game in any way. I can only see it being positive for everyone: AH enthusiasts don't need to be rooted in front of the Auctioneer constantly, and can actually go and play the game, and average Joes can actually partake in trading from time to time on the fly.
