Remove ah - social game

how am i supposed to get social interactions with my community if i can just use the AH without even interacting with any player?

Remove AH so i can spam trade chat and meet face to face with the vendor, creating more social interactions.

Its not that you interact with people though, the most important part about is that you and everyone else had to walk to the AH and you werent instantly teleported there.

Agreed, no conveniences allowed. If we want “community” we might as well go all the way

Remove Summoning stones - instant summons removes social interactions and possible world pvp
Remove warlock summons - same as above
Remove flying mounts - same as above (not instant)
Remove Auction houses - Allow people to use Trade chat that’s what the “Trade channel” is for.
Remove Battlegrounds - World pvp is how you organically have social pvp interactions.
Require every crafted item to have a component from every profession so people need to be social about crafting.

But the item is teleported to me, and i never interact with players.

We need to create more social interaction just like why RFD was removed, remember?

Youre absolutely right. They should make it so you must be in a group for minimum 10 mins, minimum of 10 messages exchanged and rp walking hand in hand to auction house in order for trade to be considered legit

I’m not sure if this post is sarcasm. But on face value, you could always message the person you bought off on AH and say “hey i just bought your X”. There you go, interaction.

AH is vital for certain items, like quest materials, and stuff you need for that raid you just joined. Nobody wants to stand around spamming “selling bronze tube so you can finish that Darkshire astronomer quest.”

Nah dude, you need to be forced to message the other guy. You can’t be given the option to list stuff on the AH otherwise everyone will just use the AH instead of actually interacting. Community is important bro didn’t you hear Brian?

Leave it to retail players to conflate group player agency with the AH. Buying things is streamlined- so content designed around multiple players being in a party together doing dungeons should be too?

This really is a go back to retail situation.

No but for someone that doesn’t understand/care about the difference between individually going out and buying an item vs doing a dungeon it might seem like the same thing.

Nope, remove AH so I can have my community interactions with people. If AH is in the game then others will just use that. Community is important and AH is one of many things that led to retail today.

Holy s… Imagine the social interactions we would have. This is a great idea.

Honestly, it’d be pretty sweet if WoW had the ‘player shop system’ that Lineage II has.

I think they should remove flight masters to get more people to use ships, trams, and zeppelins. Think of the increased social interaction this would bring; I’m getting giddy thinking about it!!!

Remove run, it reduces community interactions because you’re going too fast to engage with the people you pass by. RP walk only for maximum community interactions and world experience

I agree Ah needs to go. Just listing a bid and buyout price instead of using/2 hamstrings community interaction tremendously. I know the ah was in original wrath but guess what, we need #somechanges
