Then let's lecture all recruiters to actually use the Guild section in party search .. since trades and people is more likely to end up in one outpost, this would be a good place to post a small "Guild Ad" and let the people looking for a guild come to them instead.

Mmm...Trade Channel is easier since WTB/WTS are automatically filtered there. Recruiting in the right place is still voluntary.

Xunlai Marketplace was supposed to allow player stalls for selling items. It never finished though, and Embark Beach is what we get instead.

GW 1 will probably never have a Marketplace now. It's for Guild Wars 2.

Hmm, my post didnt post.....

Anyway, I feel like there will need to be a separate chat for each Continent or something....With that many missions there will be HUNDREDS of LFG's for all the different missions and it will be so hard to find...But meh

we are pushing it. Been pushing sense 2005. I've been pushing for the flipping title sceen to change for last 2 years! See my sig , plus the reason I got a sig to tell everyone to voice a change in the title screen.

Oh well Guru/Wiki nerds said Pre would never get an update after nick and it looks like it's going to get an update. So who knows.

And the wall of text in spamdam? It like Matrix code. Watching it fly by is amazing to know the game has some reason to update trade someday. And that it works, somehow

Bristlebane · Mar 03, 2011, 07:18 PM // 19:18

Who knows, maybe just maybe that's what we get in the anniversary update .. an auction house! (I've only been pushing for one for the last 3 years myself)

I would cry...with joy of course...But Im pretty sure they said it wouldnt happen...but dont quote me on that

Urcscumug · Mar 03, 2011, 07:21 PM // 19:21

It's been stated before that the GW1 engine does not support what it takes for an auction house, period. They tried, they reached this conclusion, end of story. No AH for GW1, ever.

Now, if the Live Team can still manage it after all... kudos to them. But IMHO there's other more important stuff they could/should be focusing on.

shoyon456 · Mar 03, 2011, 07:24 PM // 19:24

An auction house and the last few class balances (Para, Ele, Ranger) will finally make this game what it should have been years ago.

But now that the Dervish is updated and we can have 7 heroes, I may just come back for the WoC stuff.

Taking statements like those at face value is naive at best. That's also what they said about character renames and skill splits and makeovers.

Bristlebane · Mar 03, 2011, 07:30 PM // 19:30

Have to agree,
they have done some updates that previously was considered impossible or out of the question.. that's why I still feel there's a small glimmer of hope left. Maybe 1 chance in a million.. but hey, if a million players wish it.. maybe it will happen

And i'm agreeing with you lemming just adding to your comment to Urcscumug about the AH.

Then how come they've said they can do things like integrate phone apps so you can chat between phone, GW1, and GW2??!!?? (there is a video from a developer on youtube) And you can't do an AH?! Funny guys!!

Yea, don't believe the hype...ever! Lies! All lies!

Dzjudz · Mar 03, 2011, 07:43 PM // 19:43

Well they also said 7 heroes would not happen in the past.

Very true, well, lets hope for the best, although tbh...a AH now wouldnt really be worth it, unless GW2 wont be out until q3 q4 2012...But Id be happy anyway.

Eragon Zarroc · Mar 03, 2011, 08:41 PM // 20:41

Hopefully it doesn't become a trade hub. mixing all trade in the game with all party searching in the game would be a nightmare. hoping that anet disable trade chat and the trade section of party search. although this won't prevent people from trying to trade through other chats i suppose. hoping that there will be good separation between party searching and trading *sigh* we will see soon enough.

I don't see why trade would be prohibited there, to be honest. ANet will want to see this get as many people there as possible so this outpost catches on in popularity almost instantaneously (and stays that way). Forbidding trade is a big chink in that armor from the get-go, IMO.

I do think ANet won't have a lot of patience with chat spammers early on to make sure the outpost doesn't become a mad house. If trade is allowed, I'd be sure and use the trade channel for it.

I'm betting people will call it ebay beach

and as you said embargo if trading was disabled there, which I too don't see happening at all.

Mireles · Mar 03, 2011, 09:11 PM // 21:11

I would say yes, it should be the new trade hub because all versions pass threw that location in game.... but the same can be said about GTOB... thats just a hub for z-keys

StormDragonZ · Mar 03, 2011, 10:09 PM // 22:09

It'll turn into a place where people spam recruitment speeches for guilds of 3 or less, a place where people try to sell every little possible item they have hoarded in their storage, and a place where people can sell stuff for real money, switching back and forth between Temple of Balthazar and this place.

That's your negative response for today.
