i strongly suggest with the new trade window system, that you add astral diamonds just under the gold currency.
so many players are trying to do trades threw the auction house and being ripped off.
either the item gets bought out from under them / posted for the wrong amount at first / or even not posted and the trader runs off with the item. not to mention the general listing and sell fees
so all in all it just makes more sense to add astral diamonds to the new trade window system. it will work so well with this second pop up confirmation page

In addition, in all MMOs, the following is universal, the AH transaction fees are there to,
1. Make sure players do not use the AH as an extra storage facility.
2. To drain player currency from the economy as part of doing any player transactions. This adds inflation, forces an improvement in the quality of items and prices listed and encourages other in-game activities to get more currency.
3. It adds significant costs to "black market" trading of very large amounts of game currency between players.
In other words, you have more chance to see, for example, the introduction of different PvP modes/maps or PvE raids in this game, than you will ever see a costless player-to-player AD Trading option (so, basically never).

However one thing that does seriously need looking into and changing is the Guild bank new tab system, the only way to buy new guild bank tabs is through AD, and there is no way for guild members to contribute or deposit AD into a guild fund.
A guild is all about teamwork and a group of freinds, guild members working together for there guild, but this system makes it so that only 1 player can buy bank tabs. Extra bank tabs are for the whole guild and for every members benifit but yet they can not 'join forces' to purchase them.
In my opinion extra guild bank tabs should be purchasable with GOLD, the guild bank inventory already has a gold deposit which is to be honest at present pointless, but if you could buy guild beifits like extra bank tabs it would be a huge benifit to all members in the guild.
I don't think "ripped off" means what you think it does.
If you've arranged to buy an item and someone buys it before you can, that's disappointing, but you still have your money.
If the seller lists the item for more than you agreed, you are under no obligation to buy. If they made a mistake and pull and relist for you, you have nothing to complain about.
Likewise, if the trader decides to back out and not post the item you wanted, you have not paid anything.

^^ nps, i have mentioned this a few times since open beta, but alas nothing as ever been said about it.
Like my post above my idea was to make guild banks tabs purchasable with gold, as there is already a guild gold deposit and also this would not have any efect at all on the main currency in the game, AD

Agree, that is one way of doing it, But IMO to change the cost of guild tab purchase to one of gold, instead of AD would be alot easier to implement, everything is already there in game, just needs a currency change for the Tab

I understand the need for money sinks and costs of player transactions that the Auction house provides... but why not just impose a tax on all player to player transactions as well- the same 10% or so charged by the AH.
Basically- if I'm questing and leveling up and I make a sale in a random zone... why shouldn't I be able to trade right then and there? I would have to go all the way back to the Enclave and go to the Ah... list the item... and then have my buyer find it and buy it... then I have to receive the astral from my mail- after a while it just makes the whole trade more trouble than it was worth.
I think putting in a tax similar to AH cuts on player to player transactions would serve to maintain money sinks in the game and make trading more fluid by streamlining it to our needs.
