One thing that I miss about a popular MMO that I USED to play (never will again) is the mobile (Android/Apple) app for mobile trading/banking. I think this would be a really cool addition, and also boost the economy, allowing people to “play” the trading post while not near a computer to sit and play the game.

I agree with the OP, I hate to use another MMO in my example, but one way of making a decent coin in other MMO’s with an auction house or trading center was by selling gear that wasn’t needed (or available at a merchant/vendor). I find that there really isn’t a huge demand for gear, and the prices that are listed on the Trading Post are actually the same (if not a cut with the trading post’s cut) as what it would be to sell to a merchant, and it may take days to sell if at all. I’m not talking about typical “merchant trash”, but some blue/green gear or weapons, etc. A positive example in GW2 is the crafting materials. IMO they’re selling for a higher (yet fair) price, due to demand. But the items that these materials are used to craft sell for a loss, not a profit…making it not as worth-while to craft.
