No auction house and mob scaling are the biggest problems I have with ESO. Levelling just seems pointless since One Tamriel. Oh and the housing system is rubbish but then instanced housing always is.
This is my number ONE desire. Give me gardening. Give me farming. Let me raise animals, slaughter them for meat, milk, feathers, hides. Let me grow my own reagents. Let me do it in the open in public areas, but also most importantly – put this in the houses. Let us buy/craft planting boxes and livestock pens. Let us take crafting and lifeskills to the 10th degree.<<<br />
This. That would be fun. One of the best things to do in ArcheAge, LoTRo, etc.
The necro sounds fun, but the overlap with a Sorc might be a bit much. Maybe if/when they add new lines to the classes add that to a Sorc.
No to an AH - Do we need another WoW AH mini-game game? I'd like a better search on guild traders, that would be great though.
This game is something I do casually. If they had an Auction House instead of the totally corrupted guild system I would play this game only.
I play the game and I 100% agree with this.
I also play and I wish we had auction houses. Just try getting into a crafter guild(s) with a well placed vendor as anything less than a maxed out master crafter. Just try getting finding and getting into a guild that doesn't become inactive to begin with.
This is just a thought, but why not have an EQ2-ish system which uses auction houses with a significant 'convenience fee' but using personal (an active use for housing!) and/or guild vendors with a lesser fee?
The shitty lack of a traditional AH is the main reason I cannot play this game, all the mods also put me off. All that shit turns into "must have" ....
As far as Auction Houses go what I have been thinking is: could they introduce a "shopping assistant".
1. First the AH system is what it is in part - I am sure - for technical reasons. A global AH were you have to scroll through 50,000 (or 500,000!) lumps of metal until you get to ... logs of wood or cloth is a non-starter. Its a mega-server = lots of people = lots of stuff on sale. And the big trade guilds advertise an awful lot of sales.
Which says that if even if there was such a thing as a global AH what we would then be clamouring for would be a decent filter!
2. OK the existing AHs do have a filter. It could be better but as it stands anyone who has used it will - I am sure - have experienced a slight "delay" before the results come back. So on a global AH scale I reckon that this delay would become much more marked. If the search was run in the background however that shouldn't be an issue.
3. Which gave birth to the idea of a "shopping assistant". You want to buy something but you don't want to scour the various AHs. So you give your assistant instructions to go and buy you - something. And this is were the filter could - perhaps - be improved. Or maybe - before you can narrow down your search - a list of possible options needs to be generated. A list from which you could select or maybe use to narrow down the seach down further.
4. Now - obviously - the assistant is going to have to be paid! Which also brings in the current AH structure. The most prized locations are the ones with the most footfall and as a result they tend to be the most well stocked and also the most expensive! Automate everything though .... would destroys the current structure.
5. So - perhaps - a search of the most popular AH sites is a) cheaper and b) takes less time. With searches that take the assistant to more remote places becoming increasingly more expensive and time consuming. Youl would decide how wide a search should be made. Remember sakes will be in real time so taking more time could have an impact.
And when the assistant is finally sent out to buy something then - maybe - the more popular AHs have the items at a "reasonable" price the assistant won't spend the next week trying to save 1 copper but will but it at the more popular AH.
And - maybe - the guilds that run the AHs get a % of the assistant's fee. A way of protecting the current structure. (Worst case: all AHs are treated equally, with assistants visiting them all and guilds will just be bidding to have a slot.)
Note: No change to current set up. You would still need to be in a guild - with an AH - to sell stuff to people not in your guild. (People don't need to be in a guild to buy and an AH skot is not needed to offer items for sale to members of your guild.)
In summary: whilst people talk about wanting a global AH - I understand! - there is already "lag" when you search on even a small AH when you are the only person searching! On a global AH with - presumably - auctioneers across the land with people clustered around them, running searches 24/7 .... I am pretty sure we would not be at all happy.
A "shopping assistant" would allow the searches to be done "in slow time" - in the background. Unless you knew that you wanted a Shield of Protection Against Overpriced Goods .... at a maximum price of 100 gold then your search is probably going to be iterative. It could become (would be) more of a house keeping function rather than a chore however to find stuff that you want.

They pretty much copied and pasted most things from Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, when they had to add items that were never in the RPGs someone got creative, unfortunately. It would probably be to much work to go with something more traditional now.

GW2 does fine with a global auction house (even though it's just buy and sell orders and not actual auctions). So... look at that interface and see that it's completely viable to have a global trading system on a megaserver. The value of everything is properly standardized and rises and falls based on supply and demand, much like stock trading in real life.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
I love the idea of having a melee staff, spear, more polearms etc...
I would like to see a stamina based class with a few magika morphs instead of it always being the other way around. Maybe some kind of weapon master class.
I would love it if all weapons restored both magika and stamina to make weapon selection more flexible.
Please put an end to animation cancelling, it really takes the fun out of combat
A better Auction House would be awesome. Without one it makes getting involved in the economy a pain in the ass.(however I have kind of gotten use to it, but porting around is kind of a pain in the ass especially when I don't have much time to play)
Love those who want and auction house. I do just fine with the website that TELLS ME where the item is, how much, when it was posted. As for the list I agree, I want a single sword and spell option
But isn't that just an auction house with a run attached?

Almost, but it's worse because the item might have already been sold when you get there.
A flawed solution but it's better than nothing I guess.

After giving this some further thought, my most wanted feature in ESO is the deletion of all of those crown crate apex reward fluorescent green and transparent mounts that assault my aesthetic sensibilities on a daily basis.
As a bonus, you'd probably see a significant FPS boost everywhere players congregate if they do that.
