The Auction House, for me, prevents me from standing in Edgeville typing "selling X" every 10 seconds over and over again... it allows me to drop an item off for selling, and I get to move on and keep playing.

The prices are set by the players, why not try and negotiate with the player via PM? Even without the AH, people would still demand the same payment regardless.

Just based on ::1, there seems to be plenty of interaction

Thank you for your suggestion, but I humbly disagree.

-1 it's like Amazon for RSC

Let's take away note system while we're at it........

horrible idea -1

80% of all items are greatly overpriced or spam. Also takes away from player interaction

I was saying this before they added it. GE killed RS experience of player to player trading. AH did the same to RSCR. I hardly play anymore. unids dont sell right, global chat isnt the same, and i havent traded another player in like a year.

Granted it takes away from player interaction, but personally I love posting 15 items and having them all sold overnight. Still, the best deals can usually be had by personal trading. The Auction House promotes an effective free-market system which drives down the prices to competitive levels if the supply is enough. Conversely, if the demand is higher, the prices will rise to reflect that.

I agree that there are caveats, but some of these can be addressed and others have already been. For example, I don't think it's unreasonable to restrict unid herbs from being sold on auction. The seller almost always loses out, and the unwary buyer will almost certainly lose out also. Obviously, it is best to just buy and sell herbs direct and save the bull.

-1 AH is one of the best features about RSCR

edit: Although I agree the GE ruined RS2, the AH is different because it facilitates trade between players in a server that barely sees more than 100 people online at once. It helps players buy/sell the supplies they need in a server where it would otherwise be a pain in the ass.

I wouldn't play rscrevolution without an AH.

This

yes 80% of the items are going to be on there for 2 days because the price is stupid but I still find things I need at fair prices as well
