adding 'sell' and 'buy' to party search would do leaps and bounds in favor of trade ( 'trade' would still be there for those miscellaneous things liek wtt =p). And it would be such a simple thing to do...

Oooooold thread, but still a great idea.

If Codemasters can do it with Archlord, then I am sure Anet can do it with GW.

99% of the time I don't even bother to sell my stuff because of the system.
I really hope things would change some day..

Yeah we so need an auction house or some Xunlai merchant....

I've so much stuff just sitting on mules and no time to try and sell it... I may end up just merching the lot, but to log onto an in game "proxy" seller so so needed...

I haven't played ff11 in awhile but the way they had it was kinda nice. They also had a "player shop" where the player could put the item's in their inventory up for sale for a price and when it was sold they could get their gold(well gil) and a % was supposedly put back into the world ro w/e they did with it.

Or at least thats what i remember, havent played since 2001 and i cant rly explain the way they had the auction house(thats what it was called) set up, its been too long.

Yeah, FFXI had a great action house system, you would just put an item up for whatever price, wait until someone buys it and get your gold. And if it didnt sell for a while it would just return to your house or whatever, so I guess this could be your storage box for Guild Wars.

even just a simple expansion on the current party search system would be a huge difference. there's mission/quest/hunting/guild/trade all under one tab, with unnecessary tabs for heroes and henchmen. has anyone even used those?
instead of having chat all under one tab, split up the tabs into the categories mentioned. that way, there is more room to play with the trade tab specifically. or even have multiple trade tabs (buying/selling/trading). each trade tab can then be further split into weapons/materials or "trader items" so it can include materials, dye, keys, runes, etc/collectible items/so on and so forth.
the party search window was a huge step in the right direction, let's make it even better!

As long as the item can be viewed from any auction house in the game, then I'm all for it.

Not buying GW2 because devs never put an auction house in. gg lazy devs.

However, I believe there should be an Auction House at only Lion's Arch, Kaening Center (Even if it's dead), and Kamadan. Also, all 3 of these Auction Houses would SHARE the same stuff so if someone puts an item for sale at Kamadan, you can see the item in Kaening Center.

Auction House = more time to play the game , no more WTB WTS hour after hour.

With the amount of login messages, telling us of the "trade chat changes" telling us we will get temporarily banned if we spam outside of trade chat, you would have thought they would consider this an option.

Heck, we might actually be able to access the storage in kamadan without being yeti spiked lol

ANet has stated countless times an Auction House can't be implemented because the current architecture of Guild Wars doesn't support it. Why people keep signing this is beyond me. It's not like this feature is magically going to be possible just because the playerbase wants it enough.

But remember that A-net considered a 'book storage' but didn't put it into the game because of Server space.

Think about that.

Considering that, the chance of an auction house is close to none.

I still don't get it.

City of Heroes/Villains have it and it's awesome.

You have XX slots. You put an item in the slot, you set the price, pay 10% of the price you wanted for the item and press "sell". People see your item in a search engine, enter the price you wanted for the item. Although in CoX there is a "silent auction", so you don't know how much the other person wants for that item. You can predict that by looking at past history for this kind of item, compare to other items that vary slightly and then take your best shot.
