On Access to Wentworth.

Here's an idea I have in regards to the Auction House.

What if characters were able to access the bottom part where you put things up for sale anywhere in the game, (say with a power ala AE) so characters can sell anywhere they are, but can't search (except to see the last 5 or whatever bids for the items they were putting up) and can't buy, unless they are at the actual auction house.

I can't think of any negatives to increasing the ease of putting stuff fast on the AH, except for perhaps this being too much of a database information overload thing with so many people suddenly accessing it, but then again I am always Naive when it comes to such things.

the slots are limited, and whats to prevent you from using them as free storage anyway?

if its like the AE comlink, then you couldnt access it during mishs, and poeple already use the markets for extra storage space anyway

Yeah that seems a reasonable compromise not accessing it in missions. But for example for long TFS, be nice to be able to quickly throw white salvage on the AH for a pittance instead of deleting it.

Well, you can, but generally they're out of the way. It's a separate function and all that. What you're saying is to introduce a system that would just encourage that further.

I wouldn't be opposed to this if it was an earnable accolade temp power like the field crafter portable invention with the same limitations.

i doubt they would give the power to anyone directly, but i fully support the idea of a accolade, for like getting all the selling badges or something

Personally, I like the idea of a use-anywhere market interface with the caveat that it only lets you place bids and collect inf from sales, and uses your existing market slots. In order to actually obtain the goods you win bids on, you'd have to go to the market building proper. Makes sense from a logic standpoint, as you are wiring funds to and from your account for bids and winnings, but need to go physically pick up items you've purchased.
