I am so happy the G.E. will not be implemented. Trading is a skill and should be treated as such. Getting rid of it gets rid of player interaction and makes the game extremely easy. Also for you people whining about scammers, use your head. Always treat the SECOND screen as the REAL transaction, the first screen means nothing. Don't be a fool and you won't get scammed simple as that.
Trading is a skill? I disagree. And merchanting isn't a skill either. It's a choice.
You can't level up trading or merchanting. I just spent about 3 hours trying to sell a handful of rune and addy junk, and what did i get for my trouble. A bunch of spammers, and more than a few scammers who all tried the money switch to get me to accept a trade where I 'give' them all my items for nothing. I didn't get 1 xp for this effort, and the time wasted standing around amidst a sea of spammers was sure social (sarcasm intended here). The preceding couple of hours was spent slaying with several people I met while working on an actual skill, and we chatted the entire time. So tell me again exactly how trading is a 'skill'. Perhaps you're referring to frequenting 3rd party websites to post trades? How much XP is awarded for that? My friends list is full of such posters, all of whom couldn't give a rats tail about socializing with anyone. I add them to initiate a buy or sale offer, only to find they aren't online. Yeah, a real social winner that system is. So much for your player interaction theory.
I've already started alch'ing many items just to avoid the whole undesirable mess of trying to unload stuff I don't need. Should make the merchants happy anyway.
It's not about being a fool, or being taken for a fool. Anyone who simply pauses at the second screen like you say won't be scammed. But who really wants to be standing around for hours (merchants aside) trying to buy or sell a few items? The answer is not many.

On the one hand, allowing bids to stay in the Trade-House while a player is offline would be pointless as they are not online to make the actual trade. On the other hand, players interested in buying from this player could more easily plan to buy the items they are after...
So perhaps Auctions should be seen while players are offline, but there could be a symbol next to the name of the player who put the offer up showing if they are online or not. Only for a period of time after being online- I liked the idea of 6 hours, mentioned in the poll.
Fruit for thought, I'm still thinking
Wicked work on OS so far you Mod's, Keep up the good work!
