Dear GWG community.
...
Stuff and things..
Etc.
So forth and such.
The other day in LA I got told something rather funny.
"That's way overpriced! You don't know what value things are. I'm a power trader, I know what that's worth"
This .. firstly.. Made me lol really hard. I'm not a powertrader really, but I do know what some stuff is worth. (been around for a few months)
SO!!! ONto the subject. Trader's Outpost.
Does anyone else remember the days when LA was the place to go? I do. I remember finding out what a crystalline was back in 05.
This is just an idea, that might be sort of fun. Anyone who runs two or three accounts could help with this a lot.
I Really want to bring back LA trading. I think, but am not certain, that if we all (GWG) started spamming WTS/WTB in LA instead of Kama that due to our numbers and what we are selling or buying.. We might be able to change the location of trading dominance back to Lions Arch.
I'm not sure if anyone else thinks this would be a cool test, a great idea, fun nostalgia, a waste of time, really stupid, not realistic.
But anyways... I just figured that since GWG is such a large community and has such a big affect on trading in the game, that it might be interesting to try it out and see if we can make it happen.
Any thoughts? I imagine flame, and "terrible idea" posts will ensue.. But I still think this would be hilarious if we all just vacated Kama for a few days and moved to LA (or anywhere) to see if people would follow.
Traders Outpost.

I miss Droks and Ascalon Int more than LA, but I'd show up.
Even better, I'd love to see a bunch old timers fill up the Grotto...drunk (irl and ingame).

Nice idea chris... but actually I'd prefer Ascalon ID1 
Anyways - I'd help you, with my single one account.

Not everyone has Ascalon inter1. And it used to be Droks, Ascalon, LA. All at the same time. Everyone has LA, most have Droks, some still have Ascalon.
Maybe we could do it over time ? :P We could get everyone in LA.. then all start selling runs to Ascalon. Then runs to Droks! Mmm I see business ventures in the future for all of us :P

Ofcourse I too shall join the oldschool epicboat.
Why?
Grotto was always interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing that come back.
But trading is a disaster in this game no matter where you try it.

Cool idea i guess, but i think the main reason the trading city is kamadan due u can get "storage char" orso there with ease without doing single thing, When for LA u would need to play abit.
Well that wouldnt be problem for me, Guess i could check LA sometimes with my one only account

I'm in! To LA We shall all venture! :P Let GWG history commence xD

I mean just all the time. Instead of sitting there in Kamadan... Start sitting in LA. I've been doing it all week. Occasionally popping in to Kamadan, but mostly staying in LA. Just start the transition :P Others will follow
_Todeshand_
Okay... started it now. Thing is: I put my "wtb req8 bows" into the party search. First whisp was like "req9 is best for max bows, but I have green bows with even lower req!".... hmmm, mkay 
Anyways, why not try it

Grotto was #1 but La was also cool count me in

Interesting thread, I think it's good that people are seeking new ways to reinvigorate the trading community.
However, Kamadan is the major trade outpost for obvious reasons (quick access to storage with new character, port city, starting city, etc) and therefore the trading will naturally shift to that city.
BUT I also think that things may change when the Embark Beach update is implemented. Some have theorized that Embark Beach itself will become a major trade hub.
I wouldn't mind hanging out and trading in LA, it makes no difference to me really. I do some trading there already.

We should also group at the southern storage, not the northern because that was added afterwards

there have always been a fair amount of traders in LA, though the high-end action has been in Kamadan.
I have a feeling Embark Beach may be the new trading spot, as it's open to all accounts

Ofc dis 1 will be full with [CaSH] as usual xD
killerbot3009
i'm not sure about this, i know that i find a lot of great deals in LA just because of the fact LA isn't used as a main trading outpost anymore. but it would be awesome to see it restored to its former glory xD and also the long walk from zoning in to the storage agent, not that rubbish one they added when NF was out.
But yeah i suppose i am up for this count me and 5 accounts in it would be funny to do this on April the first, or do something like make Kama dis 4 the full one rather than 1 xD.
hopefully look forward to seeing you all there.

Sorry, Kamadan AD1 is the best. Small + easy storage access.
Hobbs
Easy storage access? LA has more storage access points, and anyway does the 15 seconds to walk across LA have such a huge impact on your trading efficiency?

I always get lost in LA, screw that place.
