I understand that the auction has not been completed yet. But when you get to it, I would like to suggest adding something like a purchase order to it. Where it would be possible to display the desired product and the price of it.
I think they're planning on an AH being a unique building once a Node reaches a certain stage, something special for that biome/area, but the markets are painful to interact with. I hate having to click on each individual person's stall, hate how limited the searching and filtering is.
I will vendor items instead of putting them on the market or spamming general chat, knowing I'm losing 95% of the value, but it avoids 100% of the tedium. I think the economy, processing, and crafting avenues of this game would feel much better with a better implemented market. I think more people would be in adept gear than initiate gear when they hit 20 with a better means to sell resources and gear, and there'd be less groaning about mobs dropping items because you've got better options (player made) to upgrade gear. Something closer to what Albion has would be an improvement.
