    I hope they ban RMT on their forums and discord. Heh... but you're right, i wonder how IS will view forum advertising and trading, will that take certain advantages away from economic nodes?

    Here's how an auction would go on discord

    Beautiful chainmail chestpiece is for sale. Opening bid is 2500g

    I don't think it's beautiful.

    It's not the beauty that matters, it's the price. It's too expensive.

    It's not as expensive as plate armor. Think of the same stat bonuses in plate.

    You've gotta be high.

    Plate looks way better that's why.

    It's because paladins are so vain they push up the price.

    You can talk, bard. How much did you spend on all that makeup?

    STFU dude! Rangers have more transmogs than any other class right now. They are the vain ones.

    It's only because you guys are too lazy to farm them.

    And the next item is a set of fine lace curtains. Opening bid is 150g

    Auctions are fine. Just have a set max price for items like bdo price ranges

    In each node there will me market place stall <predetermined buildings> that increase in quantity as the node develops so can become a very large market. You can rent these stalls out (and can rent for longer if logging off) - which is customised with the theme of item your selling e.g selling pots, alchemy potions will appear on your stall as decor. 
    In the market place zone (where all these stalls are) there is a billboard (one for all) that displays a list of items that are being sold within the market stalls. If you click on the billboard item you desire it will show you a location of a stall for you to visit. 
    Due to the trade system and map design - each node will probably have a variety of localised produce so if you need something specific - you may need to travel to another node to find the product you need.
    There is the possibility of a metropolis economic node to have a city auction house but will be only for the items within that node (and again products on here will be localised produce so metropolis location will be important)
    As for bot said I think it's  mostly been covered. Intrepid have stated that as they are developing Ashes of Creation security is always on their mind so rather than applying defence at last minute it's part of their core development so security should be strong against bots and gold sellers.

    Im actually writing some stuff this week for the forums and this will be touched on so I'm hoping more Ashes systems will be more clear by end of this week xD

    I love this idea. Let's do it this way then. 

    "OH MY GOD, WOULD YOU STOP UNDERCUTTING ME, YOU **********? YOU ARE SINGLEHANDEDLY RUINING THE ECONOMY!"

    "WANT TO BUY XXXXX?"

    "MAKE IT YOURSELF NOOB! THIS ISN'T AMATEUR HOUR."
