Why do MMORPG's have Auction Houses? It ruins immersion.

because then people would vendor their items instead of bothering with pawning them to people

It provides a way for players to interact without actually interacting, also muh economy.

I don't think it ruins immersion as long as it's reserved to a single location and the items are limited to those posted at that AH

Having to park your character in a trading hub and keeping your PC running isn't any more immersive.

menus must really break your immersion then you fucking sperg

players being able to open their own shops will always be superior then auction houses, sure its less convenient since you have to go through every single shop instead of typing item name,
but i loved those 2 hours long buying sessions in ragnarok or cabal before it introduced auction house.

Playing an Enchanter on a private server is like having your own shop. You got your own recipes and people add you in order to get your enchants. Feels pretty damn good.

you can't be that retarded

they should also remove chat channels like lfg, trade, etc.
you should only be able to use white chat, and shout.

Honestly, that would be fucking amazing. But people would just use outside sources like Discord.
