This is NOT a bash post. This is a simple plea towards you Muldar.
Please do not delete this post so others can also say what they think.
After all these years, the auction house is still just a proposed piece of future content and not a confirmed one? Unbelievable
Not to get in to the Auction House debate but I find it understandable really.

It in itself is not content, more functionality.

That and there is a massive amount of data that would have to implemented and tested to perfection to ensure no errors.

That being said it is still written down in house as a future addition and we are aware of player feedback on the addition of it to the game.
Please Muldar. Ffs. Please just stop it.
This is getting real insulting towards players intelect.
Auction house has been requested since 2011. Thats 5(five) years now. Just either ignore questions about AH or just plain say its not happening.
You had 5 years to do that huge ammount of work that the AH needs so it can go live.
So i ask you one more time - please stop telling us how much work it requires. We know that already. Point is u had the time needed to do it.
Now... the fact that you guys decided to focus on temporary content like the events that come and go but not on something your paying customers have been requesting for 5 years.... thats a whole diff story.

Half the auction house is already done. It's the mail system. Several other mmos use the mail system and it works well. So it should only be half as hard as muldar said.

Sorry guys, but auction house is never going to come.
It will be a piece of future content that will never see the live game. That is what I have figured out from the forums. The same applies to drop rates of godly items, snorri crown issue, and really everything else that us players request so much.

Tbh all we players want on the AH subject is that OTM just stand tall and tell us straight in the eye - the AH is a thing we have not yet started to work on and it might happen but it will be in the distant future. Maybe.
Or give us some sort of a deadline when its gonna be implemented IF they even started to work on it.
But enough is enough with the vague answers about how much work and time it requires.
If 95% of mmo's can do it so can otm.

Put smiley faces, less likely of a lock :) :D

Seriously though auction house would be cool, personally I would log in more to check up on my items etc as the game is slowly drying up for me now. Only so much you can take bossing for (30mins gathering people, 10/20mins bossing per boss, 20 mins sorting drops, 3 days listening to arguing who got drops).

The auction house will become a diety in dal riata, one which will unite the good and evil forces throughout the land to bring peace. Until the same diety glitches and chaos is brought down on everyone!

While I realize the target market isn't really casual players, other similar games are big on having a few little things where you can just log in for a few minutes and get rewarded. It's practically a mantra in all mobile gaming these days. I think that's why we got bounties as daily quests. However bounties often take quite awhile (5 min +) and we have no real daily log in bonus type deal.

I think the auction house could fufil that role. It would provide more incentive to just log on for a second at which point a large percentage of us will just forget we popped on for a second to see if there were any good deals or if stuff sold yet and keep playing. I think OTM is missing out as it would likely increase the overall player experience and player base.

That is true, but i think most will agree with me when i say that at this point, if it was released, it would feel like additional content

I think it's hard to avoid the auction house topic when it's such a demanded feature.

Yes, we get that it's, in theory, a lot of work. What is hard to grasp is why other content is taking priority, when it is by far overshadowed by the need for an auction house. At least *start* working on it.

The reason why your point of how much work it is isn't getting across is that we have never been able to appreciate it. It's like trying to describe the colour red to a blind person. How would they know, if they haven't seen it? You can try using words all you like, but it will never have any impact.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad about this community update, but I do think OTM need to listen to the community on this one. I don't recall seeing such a demanded feature on here, and so I don't think OTM should take this lightly. :)

Look at the auction house experience for Diablo and wow. Not pretty.
