Why hasn't maple made a global auction house yet? Wouldn't it be beneficial for the game and the players??
Thoughts?

    The influx of botted crap that would flood the AH would be beyond godly and no this is not a joke... prices would be centered around bots cause they out number players 100/1

    True but this is how a lot of worlds are already, bots already control the prices of many things, this may at least help with availability for things like nx items.

    Does that mean everything would become super expensive?

    That depends on one hand it would flood the auction house with tons of items and if nobody bought the prices they were listed at the items would become super cheap, but on the other hand bots could buy up every item that was placed on auction house like Krimlock said controlling prices plus it would also allow them to bot on every single server for max profit since servers wouldn't matter anymore.

    a good idea but the bots would have much more advantage than the regular players this would cause bots to be able to flood ALL servers not just the two most populus ones.
    unfortunatly until hacking takes a serious hit us regular players are constantly getting gimped and its getting really annoying.

    like one auction house for all worlds?
    that would be bad idea not only would market be flooded it could potentially create a market collapse unsure state of every servers markets right now

    but i remember points were stuff like ilibes were 10m in one server and 100m in another server not to point out it would remove the players power in market and give it to the bots (who already have quite a big impact in most worlds now)

    The thing of which you are describing already existed in the form of the Maple Trade system. It worked good but apparently over time exploits were found. I was always a bit disappointed that the company was never able to get around to fixing the issues and bringing it back.
