Nobody mentioned the new Auction system yet?
Antheus
Granted, it's sneaky in Party window, but with all the requests for something like it, this got really little attention.
BoredJoe
Is it possible to filter out the trade items?
Emik
Nope afaik... They might alter it a bit if we're lucky coz that would be a must tbh
-.-
Ohhh, interesting hidden function.
Deleet
I didn't think about that, but yeah, cool.
Lets Get to Healing
yep, Here's our auction house. I think we crossed everything off our list.

It's not an auction house per say, but it should hopefully cut down on the spam and help people sell and buy things easier.
It could be used as a type of auction system, users will have to keep updating thier ad with the latest bids.
When it comes to an actual auction system most users want something like available in other mmos like SWG where you goto the auction system, put it in and then leave it and you do not have to stay there to keep it going. You can go offline or continue playing and come back to it at a later time.
Such a feature would be a welcome addition but i think what they have added today will help immensely and i hope it gets used to it's full potential.

It would be a lot easier to use if you could type more into the description, but it beats the hell out of what we had before. /highfive Anet!

This won't keep the spam away for long, because you have to stay at the computer to watch whispers and can't go away and have the transaction done automatically. Basically all this does is save typing work. Hopefully it will be changed a bit soon

Wait....the party search is only for the town/outpost you're in isn't it?
I wish it's global though....

Yay, less spam.
Happy that the reconnects is live, especially because my PC runs like a rusty clock.
Crashed a few times in gate of pain when i had made some progress and not wiped, which is... "inconvenient".
Nice little update Anet but i'm still waiting for the hunt the evil santa quest. Spotted somewhere in the world...go find him!

Hit 'P' and you will see people WTS things. I realize there is a thread on the new party feature, but this can be used to discuss using it in a manner to facilitate trading goods.
How about some opinions of those crying out for auction house ? Will this suffice ?

I noticed that! I considered it a Trade Improvement, it's definately nice. Have to wait a while to see if it really helps with continuous WTS spam. For buyers, it will be easier to find the things you want to buy, though, I think.
chessyang
Love it!! have local and trade off now!! a filter would be the next step.. sold a few things already with it
lilnate22
yea some what...lets just see.. wel one omprovement we need is diff tabs... so trade wont be in the same screen as party.. idk if this is how it is now... to lazy to look
Swinging Fists
I was pretty hasty in my original post, but with additional review I've found the following.
It seems to list all entries for a given city, however not including international if you are in a local district and vice versa.
There seems to be no filter for each of the four types: mission, quest, hunting, trade. No tab as mentioned above - serving the same purpose. We'll see how much this is needed in time.
People are using the hunting channel for such things as guild recruitment, WTS, and other non-sensical comments (that will hopefully go away after the newness wears off).
People don't appear smart enough to use the trade option for WTS and WTB. I guess this shouldn't surprise me, but it does.
You only see the leader of the party and number of heroes - you don't see other human party members, although you can whisper that person easily enough, I suppose.
These points are not criticisms, but merely observations. I'm sure in time we'll have our thoughts for ANet, but for now, kudos - it seems like a nice feature.

This is in desperate need of a filtering system of some sort.
twicky_kid
Without any way of sorting the list this might as well be more spam.
I do not play wow but one thing they did get right was the auction house.

i love it too, but it woudl be better if they let us type a little bit more text into it
dr love
NICE! a too short making longer.
bebe
I absolutely love the party search function as a auction house.
Now if anet just had maybe a tab for selling and buying, along with filtering and allowing more than 31 characters to be entered.
Also allowing a feature if you want the entire continent and not just the town your in.
Overall. 10/10 for the party search!

I suspect the experiened traders will post their WTS on all tabs there is, then having done that, go on to spam on their local/trade channel anyways. The only restriction imposed on them is that they cant town hop to spam their goods hence this could lead to very focused and even worse spamming in "trade districts" than before.
We will have to see what will happen.

I don't think you can post more than one entry at a time.

Yes, this new feature is good. Still see immature children posting stupid stuff. Some things i've seen in the trade so far:
WTS Secks, pm
WTS Ur Mum LOLZ
WTS Acct, pm not a scam
WTB 18-30 y/o Female...

Not necessarily, but I did notice that whatever you are looking for is highlighted in green to make it easier to find among the huge list. Hope that helps.

People putting stupid crap in there will go away after a few days when they get bored. It's a very nice feature and expansion to Areo's original suggestion over at TGH that they used as a basis for this (well, more completely implemented, since it's nearly identical to his suggestion). However, a way to sort them in groups, sort of like how Windows Explorer lets you sort by type - sort by function (Quest, Mission, hunting, Trade).
Horseman Of War
funny how people complain about trading in this- its not spammed at all, its a very polite way to buy and sell in town. Granted if there was a filter to match our settings (trade, quest, mission) then itd be really hard to imagine what people will complain about.
Thank you ANet- I hate spamming my wts just as much as people hate seeing it. This is going to work out very well... and yes quest/mission party is helpful too...
edit- yeah ive noticed stupid crap too already-- some funny, some not fit for younger viewers o.O

At the second Gaile chat today, she said they were still working on trade improvments. I think this is a step in the right direction, but Anet might be working on something else. With 2 huge things crossed off the to-do list though, maybe we will hear more about it sometime early 2007.

I would still rather have an auction house that sells my item for me. I don't want to sit in town for hours trying to spam a sell or even put it on the party window hoping some one will see it on that endless unsortable list.
The point is I don't want to take away from my game time just to try and sell something. This is far from an auction house.

Great idea .. to bad you cannot type enough info to let people know what you are selling. WTS: Gold crystalline (req10) 13 .... is all that fits which invites moronic blind pms.
DrD
Anyone else gonna say it?
There are no AUCTIONS
Just a way new to trade
My thoughts exactlly

TheLordOfBlah
Either way, its MUCH BETTER than spamming every 20 seconds. type in your crap you wanna sell, close the window, do whatever. I keep my game minimised and leave sound on so i can hear PMs.
natuxatu
Yeah I agree.. this is very much a step in the right direction for a solid trade system. A few things they can (and probably will) change to make it better, but a good first step. I never sold anything before because I hated to have to sit there and spam.. now I don't have to ^^

I also wish it is global, not zone only. But it is good anyway
