Easier Trading

[clausura123]

Greetings to all!

As I've experienced, sometimes it is kinda hard to sell items such as seeds,berry,l.weps,etc. It is very troublesome to keep on broadcasting the items I am selling and it takes time. Since everyone doesn't play 24/7 because of office,work,school, and other activities, I would like to suggest to have a custom area where people can vend their items in zeny and most especially in tokens since this is the currency of the server. This is a win-win relationship to both sellers and buyers. Example, you are selling a certain item and there's this other player who wants to buy that, but both players wouldn't meet each other because of time differences or maybe they don't have the same playing time. it would take them some time buy or sell this certain item. Through this suggestion, it would benefit so many players in the server. Players wouldn't have to keep on broadcasting,less effort to be exerted,easier to buy items and sell items, but the disadvantage would be some players would sell the items over-priced and the buyer wouldn't be able to negotiate if the seller is off or afk. Also, i forgot to mention, this would make the fcity neat and wouldn't be crowded because of many chat rooms which consists of buying and selling.

Other option is, to make a "vending npc" where people will just place their items there, put the price in zeny or tokens. It will be very easy for the buyers to buy items because all they have to do is to go into that npc and search for the items. There would be categories like in the inventory: item,equip,etc. When the items are sold, the seller would just get the zeny or token from that npc. Players will be given a 5-10 limited items to put into that npc and to sell, but if they want to increase the number of items they want to put into that npc and sell(10-30), they should donate and get a ticket for like a month or more. Advantages: it is very easy to sell and buy items,no more spending a lot of time in broadcaster,fix prices to be sold,people wouldn't need to warp from town to town just for a trade,no more crowded areas esp. in fcity,much better for the economy. Disadvatages: buyers cant negotiate,over-priced items.

If you guys think that i am suggesting to remove the broadcaster, I am not. If players are in a rush to sell or buy items, they can still use broadcaster or they can even broadcast what they are selling at the vending npc.

If these suggestions are possible it would be really great for the server^_^

To put it simple, an Auction House?

I think he's talking about leaving his items to the npc, buyers can just buy from the npc at the price seller offered. Looks like it's not going to be easy. Hahaha.

Ya basically a auction house.

Other solution would be like u said earlier

To add marketplace in item data base.

Where we can enter item name/ I'd and it will

Pull out a list of all sellers and their locations/ prices

Its basically @whosell command in game and via game data base on site.

I've seen this in action and it works really well.

Also main city areas should just be made into non chatbox, non vendor zone

Just have a mall on the. Main city or dedicated area where vendoring is allowed.

that will make them less cluttered with afk chat boxes.

Also just create a trade channel in chat that's global.

Used for trade where u can only post once every min or so.

Yes this may be abused for other stuff, to counter this what was done is

Players can take screen shots of the chat and submit.

If there are 3or more wrong usage channel then that player gets a days ban or so ..

This really worked where I played before
