    Would anyone like to see a buying/selling system like the auction house in Madden UT

    For those of you who are familiar with Madden Ultimate Team's auction house would you be in favor of seeing a buy/selling/trading system similar to what Madden has for gear/weapons/mods.

    For those of you who don't partake in Madden Ultimate Team the action house is a semi-anonymous player to player buying and selling hub where you can set the prices in auction format for players and cards you want to sell for in game credits where you can't see who you've bought from or sold to until the item fully sells.

    I for one would be for it simply because when you have gear you've out used there is really nothing to do with it other than sell it to in game vendors who low ball you to death with the prices they give. Not to mention something I've out grown/ out leveled might not be useful to me anymore but someone else might want to buy it and use it for themselves.

    I feel like the only objections would be What about the players who craft items just to sell. I personally don't think that's a bad thing considering how much you have to give up to vendors to get certain levels of gear a player to player market might making getting better gear more affordable/easier. Not to mention that in game credits are basically useless at weapon/gear vendors are basically useless at end-game considering they are mainly populated with standard and special gear and maybe one or 2 superior pieces at each vendor. This would be something beneficial to people going through the game where they will have more options in the beginning stages get gear to help them on the initial play through.

    I play FIFA UT, and yeah the thought did come across my mind as well. I wonder how it would play out. Very curious idea.

    I mean if someone wants to waste their time to get crafting materials to craft items just to sell or snipes items at a lower price to just resell them at a higher price then so be it. Its not like there are pay to play aspects in Division like using real life money to buy packs in a EA sports ultimate team mode or spending real life money on a CoD:AW advanced supply drop. Having a lot of in game credits is basically useless in division.

    NOTHING LIKE MADDEN UT. UT the last 3 years has been nothing but a money pit.

    I'd love a public economy or market where I could sell some of my extra loot, but if its anything like Madden UT, they'd just rape us via taxes.

    If I could buy and sell my goods with no fee besides a posting fee (if it sold) I'd be down, otherwise, it'd turn into another way to suck me dry of the minimal resources I can scrounge up now.

    I personally love auction houses in games. It offers a way to make drops that you would otherwise just dismantle sell instead. It would also be super sweet to be able to sell crafting mats and buy them as well. Games with auction houses are always fun. Wow had an auction house and sometimes i feel like i logged in just to "play auction house" lol. I'm all for it.

    I would love a real trading system in the game. I'm a big fan of in-game economies and I find that spend tons of time in that sort of meta-game in other persistent world type games...

    I was a very active trader on Defiance from Day 1.

    There was a reason why Blizzard shut down their Auction House and deemed it the worst decision of the game...and theres a reason why all the Diablo fans are thankful it's gone.

    No, the lack of an auction system is a good thing.
