I'm sorry but your argument doesn't hold, thay have monthly server costs as well, yet we still don't pay out, soes that mean servers will stop to be maintained?

No, the businessmodell is just different, and people continue to work on improvements. The game is a continual display of such improvements, attribute point allocation without point cost, template codes, mouse over display, continual adjustment to AI, implementation of hardmode, sorrows furnace, the list goes on and on. A simple improvement on the trade would help the community a lot, it does not perse need be a an auction house.

There are lots of features on WoW that we want for gw, and every time we assiciate the 2 games a flamme war starts ><

But as for the idea, its great, altho it would make chat look abit messy with all the colors.

And as for WoW~Gw, better is simply based on opinion, every1 is different, so then the case of being better becomes majority based, and since WoW has twice the amount of players as Gw, more people prefer WoW. The technically WoW is "better"

o_o

Do you realize World of Warcraft wasn't the first game to include a lot of the things you say Guild Wars "stole" from it? There's a long list of games that World of Warcraft "stole" things from. >.>


Anyway...I think this would be a great idea. As long as you can only use it in Trade Chat, Party Chat, and Private Messages (maybe Guild Chat as well), it seems harmless. ^^

Ahh the civility has gone yet again. Why does this forum fail so bad at 'adult' discussion?

Good idea by the OP, this was never in doubt but this being GW it will be abused if implemented so why bother?

This is also in LOTRO and is a very nice feature. If they can't give us an auction house, this would be good enough for me.

Making the template check and require you to have the item in your inventory would fix any abuse of that.
