Copy Diablo IIIs Auction House Method

So I just recently got back into playing because I've been dieing to try out the new AB Class but still notice a lot of complaints and threads starring people getting scammed and such or what not.

Frankly, I'm still surprised Nexon hasn't made an auction house system or raise the mesos cap considering a lot of people have broken the cap more than once.
But mainly I wanna talk about items that go for more than 2.1b mesos. When it comes to that, the buyer usually either trades items worth a certain amount or NX. However, nowadays people are demanding more Cash than in-game items which is what the idea of copying diablo III's auction house comes in.

If you aren't already informed, diablo III has a separate auction house where players can pay real money to buy in-game items. The seller would then earn that amount of money but would have to pay blizzard a certain % of the profit (small amount). This leads to a safe and trusted transaction between the players without having to rely on paypal or vouchers to secure trust between the buyer and seller.

I know nexon had a similar system in the past but you were unable to put pot'd items in it. And like I said, I just recently came back so I have no idea why they took it out.

If this idea has been presented before then I apologize. Just a thought that occurred to me and I wanted to share it.

@Pumpk1nPie: Just cause the Diablo franchise didn't tingle you doesn't mean its trash. Tough luck, next time try the game before spending money in it.

Just cause it didn't meet their expectation doesn't mean it sucked. Diablo franchise was never directed at every single person out there. Yes, they over hyped about the game, but that doesn't mean the game sucks.

I had Annual Pass for D3, and even bought CE on top of it to have at release.

D3 was trash.

You can't trade above max mesos unless Nexon upgrades to 64 bit.

No one should ever copy any aspect of Diablo3.

@FeelingPinkie: I'll rephrase. You want to make it more convenient to pay to win?

Ah... figures the hackers would be behind that... thanks for the info.

[quote=ameshell2]you have a nice idea but i think you should consider posting it on the maplestory forum instead just because us basilmarker players can only judge you and not in any way use our power to make that happen, so i think you should post it on maplestory forum to get some moderators or game moderators to check it out[/quote]

good idea. I forget the amount of trolls on basil market. Though not sure how well it'll fare on Nexon forums as well.
