*~* Galactic Auction House *~*

In an effort to add another dynamic to the game, I propose the concept of a Galactic Auction House.

This content would allow many to engage in the game as often as they'd like, without giving those players "grind" advantage over those who can't put as much time into the game. Many will stop playing a game once they feel like they can't put as much time in as others, causing them to fall to far behind. The Auction house concept allows for hours on hours of engaged activity, without any true "progress" complete. This means it's a win-win for those who want to put more time into the game, and for those who can't afford to put as much time in.

The AH (Auction House) would be a place where players could post items such as mods, materials, or gear - with an asking price or bid price on a day long auction. Others could browse the AH, and buy or bid on items they need/want.

Simply put: the concept I'm visioning would be similar to World of Warcraft AH.

Now, I'm not a programmer, and don't pretend to be one. I have no idea what sort of server stress this has, or the level of programming involved to make a functioning platform. Is this possible for a mobile game?

I support the idea, thinking it will add another "game within the game" - increasing activity, and add an engaging element to the game, that won't punish those who can't put as much grind into the game as others.

Please post your thoughts on this concept.

Thanks for reading,
