Would A Auction House Work In This Game??

[CharmCitysKing]

I was just thinking how successful AH was and is still in WoW/Diablo. Im not comparing this game to those games but just would like to hear from the community if yall think that a AH would work in this game and why

if your talking fake game money then sure, otherwise no

YEA! LMAO! I would never use real money to buy weapons and enchants like in Diablo that ****s way outta hand and is for the extreme nerd.

scrips and bits.com you mean that

[DigitalPhail]

i think its obvious since its a MMO, easier way to get your item out there for sale and just use script/bits to buy. only time will tell

He's talking about built into the game.

I'm not sure about an Auction House because I feel like it would change the game.

It would turn into farm for thousands of scrip, go to Auction house and buy everything you need - which would just suck.

I would much prefer if we had to actually search for guns, be it killing bosses hoping for good loot, or asking other players what items they have for trade. If a trading system was put in place, I would prefer if it was much more limited.

However, I had an idea that could help improve this, imagine you could purchase or find portable vendors, you could place one down and then other players could purchase items from your vendor, then you could check your vendor to see whats sold, etc.

It would work like throwing out your vehicle, except it's a vendor. You could find rare vendors that look more flashy the rarer they are to stand out from other peoples vendors and your vendor would level up as you sell more items unlocking additional sale slots!

I think an idea like this would be much more appropriate for Defiance than an Auction House, as it would mean you still have to search around to find that perfect weapon, items would have more value as they wouldn't be so easy to find and I think it would add a level of unique item trading to the game.

I like where your going with this. I would add maybe a tax for setting up a vendor shop to discourage people from trying to sell trash all the time and cluttering up player hubs. Maybe you get taxed less the higher your vendor level is too!
Great idea man +1 for you

A central trading area (IE:AH) would be a great addition, it'd make it feel more like an mmo and less like a fps with big map, player created vendors is a good idea, but im not sure how it could work properly w/o the whole bay ending up cluttered by players vendors. However, this kinda stuff could really evolve defiance into something awesome and unique if the devs decide to properly support it no matter what happens with the show.

I agree deadbody. My only concern with player vendors is the clutter. We have it being a console on our side though..its not like a computer sitting in the corner and you can just leave the screen on 24/7. I guess it also depends on the frequency of rarer drops too...
