It looks like raid items can't be traded.

No. It would allow you to sell BtCoE items. It would NOT allow you to sell BtCoA (most raid loot) things.

I like it.  You can already sell BtCoE items that have not been equipped yet, but not items that have been.  I accidentally equipped some Grave wrappings on my Stalwart FIghter and now I can't sell them.  With this change I would be able to. 

With all the EN-EH-EE progression it makes sense. I have EH Black Helm.  I get an EE one.  I don't need the EH anymore.  This allows it to resold or you can transfer it to another one of your toons. 

Other than this, its not a change from the current AH.  I don't understand why they need 2 AH's though.  Just make the current one be able to trade in Ass Shards and carry BtCoE items.

You can't list raid loot or anything that you would not be able to list on the regular AH (had you not equipped it on a toon).

I guess Turbine Points weren't enough of an abstraction away from dollars? Now we have to buy TP to buy Astral Shards to buy...

DDO has been "real money" since the advent of tradable TP codes. This is just another step down the slope.

It can't be that horrible.  What was the result of "real money" AH via Diablo 3?  Did that flop?  Or, did that end up being a success?  I imagine that they are probably using D3 as their case study to make sure they don't eff up.

Its worse than D3 because with turbines system only they get the money.. never thought I would see the day when I said something was worse than the D3 real money trading (within the context of gaming)

Oh.  Right.

Yeah, with D3's system, you could actually cash your chips in for a paycheck.  I forgot about that.  Hey - _WAS_ that system successful?  Do people dig it?

It's still interesting.  Cause, if people would pay real money for an artifact Ice Cloak, you could then turn those shards around to buy whatever you can buy with those.  TR hearts, or whatever. 

You know, repair your crap in a dungeon that you appearently are doing very poorly in.   Grin

Agree, from my understanding the only change is that you will be able to sell BtCoE items that were bound to one of your character. That's not possible in the actual AH, while it possible to sell the unbound items ( never equipped )

I also suspect that they are doing this in an attempt to grandfather plat... or at least make it even more irrelevant than it is right now. ( I remember the time when Gold was the reference unit and 100K plat made you filthy rich. )

As for the reason for two AH, I suspect it has to do with the fucked up code they have to deal with... remember AH is an old thing that was added quickly after release.

Lame that introducing this (as well as the daily roll nonsense) is what now passes for a "patch".  I agree with whoever said this on the main forum post that these types of updates should correspond only with Updates.

Patches should be reserved to fixing broken shit - not shoehorning in some more likely to be broken shit.
  

Please don't refer to poop as shit, it stinks when that happens.

Thanks in advance,
Mr Poop

No Plat!  No Problem!  Just buy all your equipment.  Join DDO now and you can buy your XP and your gear with real cash.  Coming soon, the "I win" button.  Finish quests with just one click.

You essentially could anyway since you could buy them directly from the store.

Quests are for the peasants, silly. Just buy the results outright.
