So we've got "Hard Mode" and we Farmers are supposed to have some "advantage" here due to the loot scaling fiasco.

So is everyone else, according to anet. (Weee! More rares to the public!! Hint: They're not rare anymore) Rares (?) drop more, we're encouraged to sell to other players...riiiigghhhtt.

Has anyone been able to cut through the spam in local or trade to actually sell any of these items that we're supposedly getting? Are we ever going to have ANY possibility of selling our items quickly and efficiently WITHOUT buying the next chapter, expansion, etc.?

Yes, this is an "auction house" type thread (in the long run). But Jesus, how do you people expect us to sell ANYTHING!?

I had an idea, Make a new Trade window (with the same layout as party search) But with boosted ammount of chars we can type in, like as much as a normal msg in trade chat, And it'd be specifically for buying and selling, trading in general. I know its not an auction house but its a cool alternative that people *might* take up, Just a thought.

Make an NPC that specializes in weapon upgrades and one that does miniatures. It doesn't seem like much but I bet this would literally halve the current mass hysteria in places like LA D1.

Oh yeah...and for the folks who abuse WTS/WTB by typing in W TS...you know who you are...you deserve everything thats coming to you.

i've had no problem selling.. go to a district wher the spam isn't too bad and post up " farm fresh golds/greens, all req 9 - 1k ea. " and i find buyers everywhere i go. made 29k in about 40 min last night.

holababe · May 19, 2007, 03:19 AM // 03:19

Yeah LA dist1 isn't the best place to sell stuff. Great place to buy stuff.

I find that LA dist2-4 or Droks dist1-2 or Ascalon dist1 are the best places.

thread will be closed quickly.....

didnt you get the memo...you can't bash ANet anymore or question them or discuss in-game situations...I mean for godsake Gaile has hardly been here at all...

So your thread with good discussion material...like 1 I had will be shortly CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yah...in order to sell something you have to be a BOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta stay in same place spamming same message for ever and hopefully get a reply...then you can sell that gold online to IDIOTS for real cash!

I have a great idea...

STOP WHINING ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT!

SHUT UP CRYING ABOUT WHAT ANET HASN'T ADDED!

YOU HAVE PROVED TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF UNGRATEFUL CRYBABIES WHO, NO MATTER HOW MUCH ANET DOES OR GIVES YOU, WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED!

I don't think that's the point at all. The point is there's now much more to sell but selling it sucks. Your inventory ends up clogged, it's not much fun. I guess I'll start selling un-id'ed or merching everything if that doesn't work. Only way to play the game with trading so bad.

I'm not going to whine about us not having one, but I'm just wondering why one wasn't included. AHs are such a standard feature these days in MMO gaming, and is in my opinion a very huge weak point. Couple that with the fact that the prices are hard to determine and that there's no base price for the items.

You guys pretty much fail at discussion. Capital letters and exclamation marks don't make your arguments any better.

Welcome to the Internets, where punctuation and proper grammer doesn't matter, sir.

Depending on what you have, you're not getting the full bang for your buck. But then again, I don't know what you're selling...Sounds like a plan, though.

Yes.

I had Elite Skill Hunter before the HM update, so I've been selling my elite tomes. I usually see them advertised at 20k in town, but I generally just say "wts elite ____ tome - 8k" and make a quick sale.

It's okay because I get a ton of them real fast.

The idea is that if it's taking you too long to sell something and you aren't able to get more stuff because you're stuck selling, your prices are too high. Now is the winter of your discount tent.

I would really like a player shop system, myself. The only game I played that had one was Space Cowboy Online, but I was able to save sooo much ingame money through my WTB shop and make a little cash with my WTS shop.

i'm not worried about letting stuff go cheaper then what everyone else can sell it at... i farm the golds so i can boost my wisdom title, and merch everything but the req 9's because i know alot of people spend huge ammounts of gold for stuff like that - this way they get something they can mod cheaply, or buy to take mods from and i can get back to farming for my title.

HM = better drops = more golds on the market.

With more golds on the market, there really needs to be a better way to sell things, but I doubt this will happen. In the meantime, this is really a buyer's market.

The next chapter (well, there are no more chapters) and expansion is not going to have an Auction House.

So in all likelihood, no you won't ever have any good way to sell your items in GW.

I advise you to simply stop trying. If you need money best thing to do is solo the UW for Ectos, that way you don't ever have to endure all the migraines that come with having to trade spam to try to sell stuff.

Even if you don't wanna solo, chances are you may find that it's better to be poor than put yourself through the agony of trying to sell via trade spamming. Abstinence from trading is the best policy for this reason.

Easy there, just take youre medicine and youl be fine. Do you want me to fetch youre wheelchair?

Seriously, chill out.

About the subject: Trade is aweful yes, but it has always been like that. That dousnt make a diffrence ofcourse and i think we just dont have enough ways to trade so people are forced to all use the channel, but the problem is people who spam the channel when its not needed, others then spam in response to divert attention from spammer 1's wares, and it gous on and on and on..

And thats when you cant get a single word in.

I think I have an amazing idea that has NEVER been suggested.

It's called a very special name...something no1 has ever heard of....

crap....whats it called....

ummm....

Auction House?

Yeah that's it!

It should've been there since the beginning...

+30 for staff or bow in the old days was sold very quick, now I dont even bother selling them because I can farm that 8k faster than I sell the grip
