I think the idea of having a place to post offers in the main game is great. I don't like the idea of offline trading or putting the actual items up for sale while logged out, but at the same time, I don't think logging out should remove the offer.
Maybe if there were a way to advertise the marketing forums more...? Or a way to bring them in game, almost...? Like, a place where you can go and search specific items and it'll match you with good offers? And you can respond to these offers right there and the person will be notified upon speaking to a banker? Or whoever the officials for the auction house are?
Maybe there could be other in game notifications, as well? Like how when items sell in the Grand Exchange in the main game you get a message; a player will receive a message when someone responds to their offers in the auction house.
Just... The main issue is lack of communication all around. It's harder to get your items out there to the specific people that would be interested in buying them. Offline trading makes it... a bit tooooo easy, and also difficult to manage, but... if there were an official way to set up offers in an organized fashion, where you could receive alerts in game and search for the exact items you want etc, that'd be a huge step forward.
I've just returned to the game, btw. I can't believe I left. So much fun.
I wish I could return to the main game as well... maybe someday.
