Auction House?

I heard somewhere (i think Gaile Gray said it) that factions would have an auction house, anyone know anything about this or when it will come out?

It better come out soon or I won't buy part 3.

Its not specifically an auction house..but more under the term of trade improvement.

And the release is slated for 'soon'..Gaile gave a definition of soon as being "well before the next season" or something similar.

I will be so giddy with joy if this really happens. No more sitting in a city spamming to sell your items. You could actually enjoy the the whole wide game world out there!!!

I will sacrifice a goat for 15 days everyday if this happens, I will donate a million gold to all the needy, I will... OK I will stop now, getting to carried away with this roleplaying. But yeah an auction house would be awesome

No, she didn't say Factions would have an auction house, she said things like that were not a part of Factions, they affect all chapters and could be released at any time.

it would be amazing! instead of beeing in the city shouting to sell your items you can easily get them there

do it now....

stop working on whatever it is your working on...and add the AH and reconnects NOW!!!!

*STOMPS FOOT*

Yes, stomping your foot doesn't make you sound at all like an impatient small child...

eudas

Even if they put all the devs in Guild wars on this one feature, it probably wouldnt make it come out all that sooner. Cant really have 2 people editing the same file at the same time. Give it its time, it will come out.

There will not be an auction house, but a better method trading system. Who knows what that means.

They should have added an Auction House right off the bat in Chapter 1, as the horrible trading system remains and always has been the biggest single thing wrong with Guild Wars.

The devs should seriously stop development on everything else until an Auction House finally gets done.

wow glad to c im not the only one that wanted this

Not true at all. You obviously know nothing about programming in a corporate environment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control_system


I really wish they would hurry up with this.

Most of the time, I'm very positive, but I'm not going to post something like "It'd rock if we'd get an Auction House!", since it's not. It's just incredibly lame that we don't have an Auction House (or something familair) yet.

Kudos to Blizzard formaking a trading system superior in every single way for WoW compared to ANet did for Guild Wars (well, they never really made a trading system..).

i can almost gaurentee there won't be an auction house, all thats been said is there will be future "trade improvements" and whenever "auction house" is mentioned around anything officially anet they're very carefull to point sideways to just basic "trade improvements."

however, theres whole list of things they've said are coming that we don't have yet like improved storage, guild storage, new emotes, reconnect/rejoin, saveable skillsets, etc, etc. so meh, not holding my breath here

when they say "trade improvements" they meen stuff like telling you when an item is customized, go figure

They need an auction house.....it would help alot

An Organized trading system like a barter house (auction house implys only auctions, when in fact most games make it a "set the price and people can buy it" type thing as well) would be great, but dont hold your breath for it.

Trade "Improvements" will probably just make the process slower.

Usually when a game "improves" the trade screen, it means they add stuff like having to accept twice (with "Are You Sure?" type screens). Which really doesn't help much - but saves Anet alot of time when people complain about being scammed because they can just auto-response them with "We improved the trading system against scammers".

An auction house would be great, or they could make a merchant class somewhat like Ragnarok Online. Trading needs improvement, regardless of what action is taken, the developers know this i'm sure, look at WoW, Auction House, and clickable links for items/armors/weapons in chat? That's brilliant. If guild wars had that, we wouldn't need to spam so much information. We could just link a item/armor/weapon and people could click on it, bring up the stats, and it would save time having to party up with someone, then trade with them, etc, etc, etc...

Just my 2 cents on the issue.

EDIT: Wow, you changed your story quick after rereading what you said >_<
