IMO MWO could really use an auction house that let us sell our old unwanted or custom upgraded mechs to other players.

You could monetize the feature by allowing f2p accounts limited sale slots and higher broker fees in the auction house; allow players to use MC to unlock more sale slots, and give subscribers cheaper broker fees.

If you really wanted to, you could let players use MC as well as C-bills to buy and sell items on the AH.

This type of thing was supposed to happen eons ago in World of Tanks...but it never did. Not sure if they still plan on implementing a player store at some point or not...but I imagine it was lost in the breeze simply because it's really superfluous.

I mean...I guess it would be nice to hand off old mechs to friends, but it's easy enough for them to get their own mechs...and this type of thing might promote account theft.

I don't know, I don't see it as a feature we really need in a game like MWO or WoT, but it'll be interesting to see other peoples' opinions on it.

Sorry, but I vote no.

This can only lead to farmers.

i love this game, but if it ever becomes MW:OW, I'm out.

Just wouldnt work with this game model.

I don't know I kinda like the idea of being able to sell my old mechs for MC or the possibility of buying new mechs for a better price than the mechlab offers. Honestly since the current xp trees require you to buy variants of the same mech (most of the time I don't want to buy them since i've picked my favorite variant and couldn't care less for the other two) it would be nice to sell them at a decent price and maybe get them cheaper from an AH

It's enough that action house concept destroyed Diablo 3.I don't wish it'd happen to MWO too.
Besides,equipment prices are quite low,also it is accessible for everyone,so action house has no sense for this game.

i think it would break immersion too thoroughly to have mass numbers of mechs being traded on an open market.

it would just feal very incredibly wrong.

it would be an awsome idea.
especially if they brought back real salvage!
with the chance for rare salvage like clan lasers or w/e.
i have seen similar posts talking about this.

anyway i vote yes, but i dont think it will work unless you can sell things that you cant just buy from the in game shop

[Adrienne Vorton]

what for? there is no economic system,just a static list of items to buy... there is really no use for an auction house ...

[Eddrick]

With everything being readly available to anybody. No need for an Auction House. If anything, it would be bad for the game.

[Alois Hammer]

I've seen enough gold farmers/spammers in other games, no need to invite them here as well. We've got a good thing going without them.

Just send an invitation out to the Asian farmers (no offense to Asian players) to come and hack people's accounts and steal their stuff (Via this auction house) and then sell it again.
