Auction in-game?
Extreminator
Dose some1 know maybe is Arena Net planning to create IN-GAME auction in Guild wars ?
Knightsaber Sith
People ask about the auction house pretty much every Gaile chat. The standing answer seems to be "no new news/no comment".
Extreminator
Can we send some kind of mass e-mail or somethink ? ? ? 
Because that is the only think that miss in this game.

1 it would only help the ebay/etc sellers not the average player who could not afford what was being put up.
2 people would use auction slots with outrareous minimums on them as storage space.
3 they promised improved trading and so far we have
rune (now inscription as well) traders
crafting common traders
crafting rare traders
dye traders
i expect sometime we will get MOD traders as well.
Anet/NCSoft will not do something that will benefit gold/item sellers , hurt the economy, and not help the average player.
auction house is dead but trade improvemente will heep coming.

I know that they will not implement Auction Houses. The one thing I wish they would implement is the ability to Buy Back items sold in error to Merchants.

The existance of traders that have been around for two chapters doesn't prove they are currently doing anything to improve trade.

there since the start no.
from the GW update page

Added rune traders. Be aware that these traders specifically deal with already-identified runes, so runes you buy from them are for the purpose of wearing, not unlocking. Added traders for rare crafting materials. |

But if they create auction then u will not stand in city for 3h and sell your items for 20k-50k pfff 
DeanBB
Use the auction here then and just meet up with the buyer/seller in game.

I think they should implement not an auction house, but a simple listing of things for sale where you could post your item. Or any sort of thing that would let you post your sale and go afk. To solve the using it as storage issue, simple. Just have it be a listing, not a container.

Just got back into playing after taking a bit of break from the game, I think Auction Houses are a terrrible idea for all the reasons allready stated. They would be there only to help the people who have A LOT of gold, which in case you havent noticed isnt the majority of the players. Most people run around on pretty well an empty wallet, so instituting a system that will only increase the massive divide betweeen the GW wealthy and the GW poor is going to be poo-pooed, and rightly so. I dont agree with all the decisions that Anet makes regarding the game but I agreee with this one.
Plus some of you are asking for what you allready have, there are two sites at the moment that run online auction houses, you can sit there and take all the time in the world, list your items, and sit back and wait for someone to buy, or vice versa.
I have used both of the services and they both work just fine, saves you having to sit in LA or similar trying to read the WTS,WTB as they go wailing by, trust me that game is for chumps, or people with more time than anything else ?? Find your item , buy/sell it, arrange an in game meet, could not be simpler, try it you'll like it.

I'm not sure how anyone can claim with certainty that there will not be an auction house implemented into the game unless I missed a gaile chat somewhere when it was said.
Just out of curiousity I'm a little unsure how a auction house in game would help gold sellers more than the average player, could someone explain please?
Finally yes there would be auctions created for massive amounts of gold, just like on guru sell forums or auctions, however surely there would be smaller auctions placed....just like guru sell forums and auctions. Imagine cutting out about 50% of the wts/wtb spam from the outposts, removing a high percentage of the ability to scam through trade etc. I'm still hopeful that one day a auction house or something similar will be implemented ingame.

Do you know when will they create that auction ?
JediKnight
To avoid people putting items on at ridiculous prices a listing fee should be applied, say 10% of list price. This fee will only be returned after a sucessfull sale.
This would deter people from using it as a storage facility, as it will cost way too much to try & list something at ridiculous prices.

There a couple rediculous thing about this thread:
1) there's yet another auction house thread.
2) the only naysayer is afraid it will be used as storage, despite the fact that increased storage is arguably more desired than an auction house.
3) this thread hasn't been closed.

IT IS A RUMOR.
here is an official response to the rumor mill
@ milan
every minute not having to sell something is that more farmbot time.
Anet is making it harder for goldbots/extreme farmers and this would only give them more farm time with an autosee feature

I know it's incredibly boring, but I can only repeat what Gaile has said when asked about rumours in the past: Until we confirm something, don't set your heart on it being true. If it's a rumour, chances are it's going to be wrong. That's the way these things go, a lot of the time. Someone will talk about something they'd *like* to have, and overtime as more people talk about it it gets twisted into "I heard they are going to do this..." __________________ Alex 'GhostRaptor' Weekes Guild Wars Community Relations NCsoft Europe |

Let's all stand around and beat this DEAD HORSE a little more.
NO auction house. There is an auction on Guru. It works!
P.S. Would the dead horse mod please remove this carcass.

Bump
Just got a bollocking for starting another thread asking for an in-game auction so instead I'll bump this one to get the attention of Anet. Yes, it's been flogged and yes there are countless threads on it, but no WE STILL DO NOT HAVE IT. So bringing it back to the fore, lets Anet know that people still want one (well most do anyway).
BTW - I was also told to use other threads instead of creating a new one but this was the only one I found still open to post in.
Thanks.

The auction house would be great. I love it in WoW. Just put some items into the auction house and go level and not have to worry about spamming WTS blah blah blah.
Knightsaber Sith
lol; believe me Gaile gets harassed enough at every chat that they could never forget people want the auction house. No need to try and remind them; and I don't think they look through the Q&A section anyway..

At first I was thinking how it would benefit ebayers, we are talking about in-game gold, not actual money, so ebayer would not benefit...But then I'm thinking, they can ebay the 100,000 gold and someone would buy that. So, I can see this from both angles. But I think for the average player, you would get them more to sell in-game then buying gold off of ebay.
And every minute not having to sell something is that more playing time for the average player.

I just thought of a reason not to have an auction in game.
Not to bash ANet (I think they're great,) but we all know that any program has its glitches and certainly GW has a history of reintroduced glitches. They're pretty good about not messing with our own inventories or storages, though.
Say you put your snazzy <insert super rare thingy> into the game's auction system. You're thinking, "Woot! I'm gonna make +XXe on this! I'm rich!" Now the system glitches, and your precious treasure vanishes into the ether, gone forever. Ever accidentally sold something valuable to the merchant? Ever been scammed by someone buying your 50k item for 50g? How much worse would it be if ANet lost your item???
I vote /no auction house
My PC couldn't handle the screams.

I voted yes for an auction house a year ago and I voted for one numerous times afterwards so yeah, I vote again for an auction house. It doesn't have to be some big conglom. All we need is a place that you put an item or two nto with a price and somebody pays for it... or not. You walk away and come back later and don't have to flog it in the trade channel.

Gaile Grey always responds"no new information on this subject" ANET knows we want it and it's feasible it will be included in a future expansion but until then we'll have to wait and see what we get.

might be a dead horse to some of you, but I havent been around for a while, and this is the first thread I have read on the issue.
After using the WOW auction system I and then coming back to guild wars, I really wish there was one in Guildwars for several reasons :
1 - having a single repository for items up for sale would increase competitive pricing, instead of people selling high when the opportunity arrives in LA dist 1.
2 - would mean on that rare chance that I actually get something cool that I cant use, I dont have to spend 5+ hours in LA spamming the trade channel to sell it (if I actually sell it at all)
3 - would get rid of a large amount of spam from the chat lines!!!!
4 - should I finally have enough money to buy something i want, I dont have to constantly jump around popular sale zones in an attempt to try and firstly find the item I am interesting in, and secondly can see all currently available sales of the item I want, and bid on the cheapest.
the "used as storage" issue could easily be prevented by only listing items, items listed for trade cannot be dropped, sold, salvaged, upgraded or traded.
optionally players could start with only 3 "slots" at the auctioner to place items for sale, additional slots can be purchased at rediculous prices (gold sinc)

The new functions in P party search is about as close as we get atm... Part of the reason we are not seeing the working Auction House service is an settlement with Blizzard on copyright infringement, to be sure GW and WoW are not TOO alike... IMHO that's a bunch of BS, but its what they agreed too. so the new Party search function is prob going to be as close as its going to get.
In the next few weeks expect some refinement of the new system.
Party sort, Trade toggles ect... I'm sure as people start using it it will all come...

Has anyone played 'Knight Online'?
A sell system like that would be brilliant, IMO.
For those that don't know, basically you setup your own little stall. You add your items, a price, and you can add a small message advertising your products (which is auto repeated every minute or so), Aslong as that was locked to a seperate chat channel, which can be turned off, it would be ok. People can walk around and see the items your selling (little icons above your head) As Seen Here
The icons above your head are limited to 4, but from memory you could list 10 items.
