Never over, Libila sent!

I have been having deeds on PvE for 11 years now, and never had any griefing done to me around them. The PvE community is and remains amazing. This thread however is a litany of toxic PvP player abuse. Any PvE player that sees it will remind themselves never to go to PvP.

Trading Post!

Seconded, worth considering. Indie games that I've played like Mortal, DarkFall or Gloria Victis never had auctions in their auction houses. EVE doesn't have auctions in the Market, they have(had) it in another interface that sucks. Even a major studio MMO like New World does not have auctions in their trading post.

There is also the overall ingame economy to think about. Wurm has generally been in deflation, as tools etc have become of less and less value. Making many more items available in the market will increase deflation. And then what happens with the proposed fee: You would like a thriving auction house with e.g. 30,000 items for sale. Well that is 100,000 copper per day = 1,000 silver per day = 300,000+ silver per year that players are losing to the fees. That in itself will make deflation even worse. We know that because EVE have regulated trade fees when they wanted to influence inflation or deflation.

There is that. That's great then. As I said elsewhere, in fixed-price items there is not the same worries of auction manipulation. ' Great idea! I've never seen it implemented in another game, but they should definitely do this.

Good question, but in the opening post they only talk about actual auctions, for example: "The rules of auctions change from post to post, sometimes bid disputes etc happen." "it must provide the features that auctions use such as starting bid, minimum bid increment, buyout options, sniper protection, etc."

Right well here it is important to remember that 99 % of trade in game is not auctions. I agree that if we look at the total sale of (fixed-price) items that can potentially be sold in an auction house, people will surely need more than 5 ongoing sales. And I probably have the exact correct answer, maybe it's 20 ongoing or more. Right now they have said they will start with auctions only though, will see how it goes.

Yes it is true that it is not a problem for me to find a hammer if there are 300 axes for sale, if I can just filter. But if there are 300 of the item I want, it depends on how apt is the filter mechanism. The real problem for the devs seem to be they fear a bogged down, lagged interface if there are tens of thousands of items. They are right, if newbies are allowed to put up hundreds of wood scrap with no limitation. Launches of many games have shown this, last I was in Gloria Victis and the market was simply unavailable for much of the time in the beginning due to overload. Even EVE has had that. The problem that I see personally is that spam from capable players inevitably leads to market crash. If I am a crafter, and want to sell some highish QL item in the AH and I see there is one for sale at 1s and one for 50c, I would price mine close to the 1s. However, if there are 20 for sale at 50c, people will price theirs below 50c. The spammer will then put up 20 more for 40c, and down the rabbithole we go. It's important to remember that the traveling barrier and "forum barrier" that have been in place has helped curb the deflation. Once we have absolutely free trade through the mail box, markets are guaranteed to crash, it's just a matter of how hard we want them to crash. Some people have already posted how much they are looking forward to emptying their entire unsellable inventory and/or merchant stocks into the AH.
