Topic: Selling & buying section

I think a selling and buying section on this forum would be a good idea, where ppl can list up the things they are trying to sell and buy in a thread, think this could help about everyone. I have many times looked for an item to buy but there isn't anyone selling it at that time and when i log off someone has logged in and tried to sell the exact item i was buying, and there are ppl from various time zones playing and that sucks in some situations, specially when trying to buy rare items.

There's only noob items there most of the time, and when there are rare items on there they are overpriced with 200k+ most of the time and the sellers buy them off market themselves if they don't get to sell them for over their value, so market is for noob items imo.

The items i am thinking of to place at the forum is mrobes, cdaggers, dswords, bliss, mstars etc. Items u rarely or never see at the market.

The problem with market os it deletes ur item if the tab gets to overfloaded, also ive experienced addin most my stuff ón market and after a crash it deleted Them All, this was few years ago but prlly never been fixed.
Also ive seen others suggest this before but the market could use a "my items" tab.
Lastly u should be able to take off ur item of market without having to have the gp amount the item is for

Yes, there is lots to improve within this subject. As i see it this would be easier for you GM guys to just add a selling and buying section to the forums than change/improve the in-game market because something needs to be done.

So nothing eh? I'd say its worth a try to open a new section to the forums.

Well, its just that this type of thing really should be in-game. If there is problems with the market we should focus on that instead.

The easiest fix to the market system would be to
a) limit the amount to items posted per account at one time
b) at least double the materials required for crafting while increasing the skill gain proportionally
c) tag items in the item database so they are automatically put into the proper category tab on the market.

I've noticed that through the history of this client, there has been problems with certain players flooding the market with tons of useless junk and putting items into the wrong tab.  Another useful thing would be to put NPC vendors that sell and buy all crafted items at a set price in order to regulate the prices on the market. This would eliminate the need to flood the market with certain items at outrageous prices unless the player was simply griefing.

Re: Selling & buying section

is it possible to have market "mail" back ur item.
what if ur bank is full? what if you character is banned or ur prevented from loggin on for a period of time and u lose ur item in mail, if thats the case

Re: Selling & buying section

I think Zer set it so mails with items don't expire, not sure about mails without items though.

Re: Selling & buying section

One other problem is mail has an item limit now (to go along with the lack of expiration).

Re: Selling & buying section

Lots that can be improved about the in-game market indeed. But you got alot going on at the moment so i guess we'll just have to wait.  smile
