If you do do stands, it isn't fair to just allow level 40s to do that. Not at all.
I have a different idea, that doesn't involve any physical area...
Basically, you would go to the Lookout in your seachest, and there would be an option saying "Auctions". This would take you to three buttons: "Auction Out Item", "Offer For Item" and "Check Current Auctions". If you go to the "Auction Out Item" button, it would take you to a little page similar to when you are selling an item. You would click and drag the item you want to auction into the box. Once you place that in, some other options open up below it. One of them, the first one, says "Starting price". Here you set the starting price for your item you are selling. It cannot be above the selling price for it (the one that you get from selling it in stores). Then below that is the buyout price. You can choose to not add one if you like, but you can set it as high as you want. There is also an option to make the buyout price a certain item. You can type in the name of the weapon/clothing item or whatever else you want, and then click a little side button saying "Make this item buyout." If you misspell it, there will be something saying "Did you mean...?" with a short list of what you probably meant. Next you set for how long your auction will go. You cannot have it go on for more than one week. You can choose to manually end it, or you can just wait for it to time out, in which case you exchange with the highest bidder. They could probably add a few more options.
The "Offer For Item" button is different. In this one, you actually put out money/items for a person, if they give you something else. For example, if I am desperate for a Legendary sword (which I am guilty of...) then I could enter in 50,000 gold. People would see this, and then if they wanted the gold, and they had what I wanted, they could enter this, and we would exchange. These will not time out, and will last until you get what you want or you take down the offer.
The check current auctions simply allows you to see any current auctions and bid on any one of them.
Also, there should be an option to trade privately with a friend. Some people have already discussed this. This should be a separate button on a person's profile card. When you click it, you can either give a gift, in which case you enter what you are giving, or you can trade with them, where each person would make an offer and the person can accept or decline.
Anyone like my ideas? Or did I just sit here and waste five or ten minutes of my life writing them?! o_o
