The Trading Post

Hi. This is a suggestion for the trading post. I really think you should separate the trading post for each server. It might have looked like a great idea on paper to have cross server TP but it serves no use what so ever and the prices are so unreliable. This suggestion will probably be ignored like all the others but I really think it would help the prices be more normal and stable.

The global trading post provides a large number of huge benefits at virtually no cost, outside of the complicated technology required to support it.

Making the TP individual to each server opens up market failures across the board, including easy arbitrage and extremely easy market manipulation.

The global TP is easier to find items, harder to manipulate, and reaches equilibrium prices significantly faster and more efficiently than any other in game marketplace ever created.
