50 active auctions on AH limit are you kidding me?

Yeah, and that worked well for WoW's economy.

It did work well, as I have already explained. At any point you could go to the AH and get anything you wanted for a relatively cheap price. I would know, I played that game from Classic to Cata and at no point did I think that there was a problem with that AH system. If I wanted to list 500 auctions at a time I could do that. If I wanted to buy up a lot of things for crafting or leveling a profession, I could do that too. This was good game design, allowing the players more freedom to do as they pleased benefited everyone. Not everything in WoW was great, but they did many things well. Bioware should at least aspire to that level.

Wooohooo, just got to list 8 more things.

You don't make money in your storerooms! Let me put my stuff out for sale.

So, how many load screens do you need to sit through in order to get to an AH in WoW? Even from the most remote location, there is a single load screen (going through a portal). This isn't WoW. This isn't a huge, continuous world split into 4 pieces. This is double-digit separate planets that can't even be directly traveled to; you have to load your ship then load the planet. It's nowhere near comparable.

You are not trying to make a server economy.

You are simply trying to get wealthy faster.

I do not begrudge you playing the GTN because a lot of people enjoy that portion of the game.

I do have an issue with pages of single items for sale.

Either stack your items or just realize you will go a little slower 1 item at a time.

A 50 item limit is just fine.

the problem goes both ways, its way too common (this thread is an example) of 'WoW did this so SWTOR should'

DAoC had a good economy, and for ages there was no 'AH' style selling. then you had venders at your house and there was a 20 or 30 item limit (cant remember the amount) so that limited even multiple toons selling as each needed a house.

games are different, work different ways, if you want it to just do what wow did and anything else is a fail, then just go play wow. if you want a change (as i do, i HATE WoW, honestly it bored me to tears) then try and find a new way to make your credits, adept what you want with the new limitations, think of this as 'Hard Mode'

define cheap... because im getting the sinking feeling you aint looking to sell items cheap.

... and in WoW too often people filled the pages with hundreds of singles just to make it a pain for people to buy bulk. Thus .....

I sell items at whatever price people are willing to pay for them. If a competitor wants to undercut me that only benefits you.

guess your gonna have to sell things a little more responsibly in this game rather than what you did in the "other" one. i can see the devs giving 75 slots MAX to sell but no more than that... so good luck on your crusade.
