ESOHut Writes:
"The Economy in any Online Virtual World plays a big part in many aspects of every players day to day activities, whether it be Crafting, General Looted Items, Finding Rares, Buying Weapons and Armor and equipping yourself with Potions and Food ready for the adventures that await you that day.
Now, the obvious choice, and for all WoW players, the most known way of buying and selling anything in an MMORPG is via an In Game Auction House. It’s simple, quick and makes selling fun and easy.
But unfortunately… There is no Auction House in Elder Scrolls Online."

I never understood why selling items in MMOs to NPC give you so little in return. Is it to make you use an "action House" system or is it there just to make it so you have to play longer. I guess what I'm saying is I don't see why it doesn't work like single play games.
In FF14, I just gather and craft everything I need myself because I don't like the whole economy system in MMOs and I will try and do the same in ESO.
This is an interesting idea as in order to have your guild's shop be available to the rest of your faction, you must own a keep in Cyrodiil (this will make AvAvA huge). You can be into up to five guilds at once and each can have a shop always available to that specific guild. Some may find this "archaic" but I think it will foster a FORCED community between guilds/players. One thing MMOs have been losing is the need to interact with others in the game. I am all for this!
Now, this next link is the most comprehensive preview from a 6+month beta tester I can find. He doesn't dig into his experience with trade but WOW does he talk about everything else!! Must read! (yes, i post this in every ESO article because it NEEDS to be seen)

This is a good thing. It makes people communicate and makes it more fun. Not going in to a auctionhouse and shop away.
From Beta I can say its SP game with Co Op elements nothing more.
idk this seems like a very bad idea. Ive played so many mmo games where you get crappy items or weapons in return from doing some long missions. i shouldn't have to join some stupid guild in order to buy stuff from another player. and no im not gonna go around constantly asking other gamers what there selling that would get boring in a heart beat.
