I'm Feeling Lucky

I agree that the idea is currently being done and I know how it is done currently.

The thing is, why is auction house NOT that affected by it now? Because many of them don't dare to sell it for pd/nuggets in GTS for fear of being scammed.
If the improved GTS offers a foolproof way of selling it there for pd/nuggets and I won't get scammed, then I won't use auction house anymore and put everything at GTS. Following that, fewer and fewer people uses auction house -> killing it off, and GTS will be flooded with trades.

Agree with what Aragon said about preventing scamming from paying and getting the pokemon/item at the same time. Which I mentioned it helps both new and experienced players, hence I was disagreeing with the part where people are mentioning it will help "new players" is not relevant.

The logical part of how auction house will be killed off is here:
Mega Blastoise. Average of price = 450k for example.
If I can "buy" a mega blastoise easily from GTS for 450k, why would people put their blastoise in Auction house? Because the pd they get from auctioning off won't go up further than 450k because I will simply just buy one off GTS.
And people will start to realize Auction house is useless and will just put up their Mega Blastoise at GTS for 450k or whatever price. Yes auction house prices can go up or down, but it won't go higher than the price u can simply buy one off GTS. From then on, who will put their mega blastoise on auction house given that they will definitely get lesser than 450k?
Now apply this theory to all the shinies, mega-able and mega pokemons.

Then next, we talk about very rare pokemons/items. One might argue, what about those that do not have a fixed price like Shiny events that you might not find in GTS and hence do not have a standard price? If pd/nuggets were allowed on GTS, people would rather put them in GTS and see the pd/nuggets offers that they can get, instead of auctioning them off. This would be the smarter way but I know I can't generalize. But most people will start to just put them into GTS.

Of course there are exceptions to what I mentioned such all the normal types of pokemon, people may just auction them off at 0/10/100 pd to clear storage or some people just like to throw a Mega pokemon to auction house to see how high it can get etc.
What I'm trying to show is just an idea on how the improved GTS can mess with Auction house, to some extent, not entirely.

Feel free to disagree but just my thought. (Y)

scammed or ripped off. Call it what u want. Scammed meaning u get nothing in return and ripped off = u get a little in return but no need to nitpick.

I'm not saying the support/disapproval function is useless for suggestions because it is important like you said. Im saying its useless in this post and suggestion because Riako most likely has a fundamental reason why he did not implement this. Even with 10,000 approvals, its still comes down to Riako reasoning.

Pretty sure Riako thought about it countless time since the beginning of setting up GTS and Auction House.
I may not be right but one of the reasons might be because it will kill off a large part of Auction House. Another reason might be to simulate how pokemons are being traded inside the real pokemon games.
And lastly, I don't think the fundamental point of GTS being set up is to be traded with pd or nuggets and might be even discouraged, if not it'll become a Booth/Shop to buy and sell pokemon for a fixed price.

Pertaining to new users getting scammed, having this function will not help AT ALL. They still can get scammed into paying high amount of pd/nuggets to buy something completely rubbish or selling something valuable at a low price. What this suggestion helps is to prevent scamming in the way where someone sends pd/nuggets first and not get the pokemon/item or vice versa, regardless of New or Experienced players.

Having said all these, i'm neutral about this because I got nothing to lose if this idea is implemented. But I will say this that all this support/disapproval are probably useless and Riako should come out and explain his reasons for putting stuff this way. :)

Have a good day everyone :D

No support as like Riako says, it scares away new users. Which other game do you see this stuff happening?
In reality, schools don't ask students to read the school rules, they are enforced (aka given warning) when they don't behave. For those who are working,you won't like to read the company rules and policies?

Issues can be solved over time, bit by bit. Spamming issue, there could be a simple block button on palpad or some restriction of typing too fast and such stuff? For begging, no rules ain't gonna stop them anyway.. etc etc.
