If you like to get more people to play diabo 3 here is how you get more people to play diablo 3.
Only for non season.
Start your own auction house with 10 friends to join have it like on neverwinter game. Guest can not see what your selling or buying, they need to join that person's group to see the items for sell or buy. Limit on how many items you can sell at a time like 10 items. Limit of how many auction house groups to join like up to 5 auction houses to join.
I would have reserve price on each items so people can not jack up the fake prices. The price will be like selling to vendors selling the items.
What's the point? How would this make more people play the game? People have to join your group to see what you're selling? General chat would turn into absolute garbage with people announcing their crap.
If I'm grouped up with people (friends or randoms) and something good drops that I don't need, I'll drop it for the other group members. It's not like gold is useful in the game.
Picture this: you and your friends are in this small little AH community. For simplicity it's just and one other friend. You go on and play and gain 1000 paragon and all the gear you ever wished for. Your friend quits just after he hit 70. Your friend comes back. Now he instantly gets flooded with your "gg gear" that you obviously don't need. He has 10 minutes playtime on level 70 and his gear is absolutely finished. All he needs is rift keys and maybe a few hundred paragon (which you as a good friend give him by dragging him through a few GR80 runs).
Result? Your friend has 2 hours played after coming back but nothing to farm for. The entire purpose of the game (gearing up), all the fun parts, are entirely lost. He is wearing (and will be wearing) zero pieces of gear he has found himself. Attachment to the character, to the game? None.
Your friend will be offline tomorrow again, and not come back to Diablo. Ever. But hey, at least you got his money!
Auction house has always been terrible, will always be terrible, and I hope it never comes back. If you're into trading sell your soul and become a broker at the New York Stock Exchange. Well, or play Path of Exile. But in Diablo 3, you won't find your new business opportunity.
Thanks, but I hope this explains why no one wants the AH back (except for the "nice individuals" that made thousands of dollars in D3V - please go away). And from hearing some of the D3 developers' responses to ideas like yours, I think they have similar thoughts. Again: D3 = no trading. PoE = trading. Play a different game, but we have danced with the devil and killed him for good.

Whilst I can agree with this example, the current situation also makes the converse situation true.
Take for example my brother... he's not one to stick to just one game so he'll go off and play something else for a month or more and then check out what's happening in D3.
Back in vanilla, we had the option where I could pass a bunch of gear to him when he came back to the game after a few months off, or give him 30mil gold and he could gear up a current, budget meta build and he's in a decent state to try out that build and, if he likes it, then participate in group runs for the next month whilst he works on improving his gear.
In ROS though, I can't pass any gear to him unless he's in game when I dropped it, nor can he test out the build he's interested in within a short amount of play time (especially with the bulk of players having moved to Seasons so his NS gear/builds gives him no advantage). Sure, you could say that he could get a plvl, be carried through to getting Haedrig's Gift and he's in a state to farm up the items he needs for the build he wants to try out. But that's a lot of work for what could be little payoff if he doesn't like the build he's aiming for.
I'm not saying the vanilla system with the AH was better than what we have now, but ROS isn't quite perfect either and I believe it's because the devs have taken the restrictions too far. In vanilla, at least with trading, my bro could come back every so often and if he didn't like the new builds, he'd go but if he liked it, he'd stay for longer (could be a month, could be more). In ROS though, he's just not coming back because the effort required may not result in the payoff he's after and there's too many restrictions from him being able to get a feel of the build he wants to try.
I played for 5years since launch, if they bring back any kind of AH ill go play POE seriously fk that diablo3 was pay2win wen ah was around I no cuse I was 1 of them who payed $ for items,ah and diablo franchise just don't mix it would have killed this game if it was still here. #makediablogreatagin
How about an in-game currency AH? So, if you have extra gear, instead of selling it to the guys in town, put them up for auction? Sell and Buy but with in-game currency.

Sigh.
lol it was a joke. I mean, I know no one wants it. Having that suggestion would be just as absurd. Kinda pointless to have anyway.

Hi everyone,
If you like to get more people to play diabo 3 here is how you get more people to play diablo 3.

thanks
why would i ever sell items to friends ?

No.
Why not?
Here's why.

Dude you should just close out any topics involving AH revival. DFans gets like 1 every season.
RMAH was a stream lined version of d2jsp. That had a soft cap of $250 or 2 bil gold.
It didn't belong. I would rather have a micro transaction market to buy wings / stash.
Currently, I paid $15 for +2 tabs and wings. I don't even gen touch the necromancer
Bad idea... why I would sell items to my friends? I will give them for free...
Because you gold is so....hard to get in this game.
Sarcasm
salvage them, sell them to vendors , upgrade them to legendaries
