Through playing runescape, I find it quite boring to constantly sit in a bank and type selling X for 30 mins. Additionally, I am tired of posting on the official forums for selling items, and then constantly deleting posts when the items are sold.

 

 

 

Runescape should put and end to all the trade scammers and boredom and they can do so with one easy update.

 

 

 

An auction house.

 

 

 

Players would be able to set a price on items that they want to sell, stick them in the auction house. Then go play the game for a specified time and then comback to get the money for the item.

 

 

 

This would make selling A LOT easier. Also, it would lower the spamming and I think would greatly reduce lag polution.

 

 

 

Now... let the teenie boppers begin the flamming....

Just like WOW?

I think a chat effect would be much easier to program.

 

 

 

billboard:red: Selling Rune plate 65k! /cow/

 

 

 

 

 

And it just stays up there until you say something else. There's no point in saying something over and over again when it can just stay up there.

This is a good start for a RuneScape suggestion. Do you think you can further elaborate on some of the Auction house's features and functions?

 

 

 

Since each RS World can have a maximum of 2000 players, it would be reasonable to restrict a player to posting only 1 item to sell. An Auction house also implies that players can make bids on an item that's being sold. Will this be the case or will the player only set up a fixed price for people to see?

 

 

 

I think the Auction house should also combine the trade screen and bank pin functions. When a player wants to buy your item, you're sent a screen to tell you someone wants to buy your item. Then both players are asked to enter their bank pins to open up the trade screen. You then both confirm the trade, just like a regular player-to-player trade. If you entered a fixed price or a minimum price, then you'll see on the trade screen that the buyer has met the requirements and you can go ahead an Accept.

 

 

 

Just some ideas to help prevent auto-buyers from abusing the Auction house.

 

 

 

EDIT: Ok, not one item but only make one Auction post. So, "Selling 1K pure essence for 90K gp" is considered one Auction post.

I think a chat effect would be much easier to program.

Yeah,that is what i was thinking,like in some games,you just open stand,shop etc. and message appears over your head,then you wait till it gets bought.It's easy,really,

It would be cool to have an auction house, we could get a gavel when we tried to sell something :lol:

The problem with the billboard command I can see people using that to spam and lag the servers out....

Yes then we need realms then we need servers for pvp and rpg and then we need quests that have miniquest in them....why steal from World of Warcraft? :?

Wrong forum.

 

 

 

But this is a superb idea, I've played WoW my self and I know how much of a good system the auction house is.

 

 

 

I really really wish Jagex would release something like this, it would probably be one of their best ever updates.

Weird, I was actually thinking about an auction house in runescape this morning. I totally support this idea, I hate having to keep my forum topic bumped all the time on RSOF when trying to sell something that only a few people would want :$

Wow has an auction house because getting aorund there takes a lot longer. And there are A LOT more items. Rs doesn't need an auction house.

I would love to have action house because it would not waste my time trying to buy or sell things. Runescape official forums are simply terrible design and i hate their speed. You post something and in two minutes item is gone. Auction house would be perfect solution for that.

 

 

 

I agree with pin request to deal with auto buyers and other macros. Also it should allow to buy more than 10 items at the time, because i really don't wanna be bugged 9000 times is someone wants to take 90k air runes off me.

 

 

 

Another suggestion would be have tax on sales. This would be taken from seller for convenience not to stand in bank and waste time. Reasonable amount would be about 5-10% of trade amount. This would also take some money out of economy and stabilize inflation.

 

 

 

Great idea, now all we need is official forum post in Runescape forums.

this topic belongs in the game suggestions fourm

It would have to have some kind of search function, otherwise you would almost never find what your looking for (buying). :anxious:

Yes then we need realms then we need servers for pvp and rpg and then we need quests that have miniquest in them....why steal from World of Warcraft? :?

 

 

 

Why does WoW have auction houses? Those bastards are stealing from irl! :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

I'd love auction houses, or a marketing place like on Conquer. Just friggin' love it. =P~

If we're going to have an auction house;

 

 

 

1. Post this in the Suggestions forum on the RS forums (even though it's already posted)

 

 

 

2. Make sure it's like the Auction House in FFXI (seller lists a minimum price for the item, if it's met or succeded by the bid, it is sold).

I said that because they created first in MMOs as far as I know. This discussion is about rs not about how you can compare wow with real life.

Why doesn't Jagex also add in:

 

 

 

Races-

 

Human

 

Dwarf

 

Gnome

 

Night Elf

 

Draenei

 

 

 

 

 

Undead

 

Blood Elf

 

Orcs

 

Trolls

 

Tauren

 

 

 

Classes-

 

Warrior

 

Paladin

 

Priest

 

Mage

 

Warlock

 

Hunter

 

Rogue

 

Druid

 

Shaman

 

 

 

and call it

 

 

 

World of Runecraft

 

 

 

throw in a few mounts and flying mounts

 

 

 

It'll be like WoW's brother!

LIKE I SAID BEFORE " LET THE TEENIE BOOPERS BEGIN THE FLAMMING"

 

 

 

If you want to talk about WOW, go to thier forums.

 

 

 

This is just my idea. If you don't like it, don't post.

Why don't u just go on forums, post a thread, have people bid on it, and make an Autowin, and if some1 offers the autowin, u go trade with them.

Right now, we control the prices, not Jagex. If items were very easy to sell, like you are suggesting, everyone will start selling and the markets will become flooded. When this happens, everyone will start asking for a lower price just so that they can sell their stuff. And the limiting factor on the prices will be the High Alch value. So Jagex will be setting the prices. And everyone will be complaining for Jagex to change the High Alch value on every commonly sold item.

 

 

 

So in theory it sounds like a good idea, but I just don't see it working.

I agree with you somewhat.

 

 

 

 

 

Initially, there would be a slight dip in prices, but everything would eventually stabilize.

 

 

 

Right now, the runscape community is in the state of inflation.

 

 

 

They NEED this before it is too late.

good idea

I don't think an actual "Auction House" would be needed.. But I do really like the idea of your message just staying up there until you moved/spoke/traded.

There have been MUCH MUCH better suggestions for an auction house than this one.
