Not being able to buy single items from a stack on the marketward.

[Mishaela]

I dunno about the rest of you but I made some nice cash this weekend by selling small stacks and single items. I was also able to find most material I needed being sold in similar portions, which I would buy even if it meant paying a bit more per unit. Working as intended!

OP is absolutely right. I didn't know it was possible in 1.0, but it simply makes no sense to remove such a convenient feature, especially since we have limits on how many items we can put on sale simultanously (20 per retainer).

I find this would be a very nice feature and allow both buyers and sellers the freedom they need to play the way they want. I'm all for the selling being able to say, this sells as a stack, but by default I think buyers should be able to say how much of the item they want to put up for sale.

Thanks,

To be honest, I did like the way it was in 1.2 more than currently. That being said, I believe the new system will work in the long run if it remains as it is. Its too early and everyone is in such a rush for things now, that the market is just crazy. I have bought extras that I didn't need, but as a crafter I know I will end up using those extras sooner or later.

Sellers will also learn the trends of the buyers as we progress and prices become more stable. They will learn nobody is going to buy that 60k stack and start putting 5k stacks up instead. Buyers will buy what they dont want to go get themselves, as they always have, and sellers will get tired of their stuff not selling, which will drop the price.

TLDR: while i liked the old way, the new way will evolve and will still work.

I got to page 8 and now i gave up I'll break this down into 3 counter arguments

1) The system from 1.0 allows players to sell complete full unbreakable stacks of what ever number you decide OR A stack of x number that can be purchased per unit.Please stop giving info about how stacks are cheaper per unit... paying 200 or even 1k gil extra for 1 item that is needed is 100%x99^99 preferable then having to pay for 98 items no one wants... buying bulk is only smart if you want 94 items...(buy a stack, get the discount) For example Sure 2lg of pop is $2... and the 12oz may cost more... but there's a 78% chance ill drink my 12oz and be satisfied, and a 98% chance ill open the 2lg, drink a cup then put the rest in the refrigerator then it goes flat, then it would have gone to waste.

2) This system was probably removed due to the fact that listing items with sub tags of per unit and stack would return errors and as such make alot of lag

3) Stop saying this is how economy works, Economy with goods (al la goods within this game) is supply vs demand. meaning people demand singles and as sellers you want to supply singles. Not, people should buy my stacks because thats all i feel like selling... deal with it. Current system makes selling singles a hassle thus it's wrong Dont use other games as examples its equivalent to saying america's economy should be more like Greece

Greetings,

The current features of the market wards were created based on discussions held between the market planning team and Yoshida. The market wards were set up in this way so that it would be possible to create differences between players who check the market and those that do not, by allowing the person placing items onto the market to research the current demand and sell an amount of items that are easy to buy.

I can see how the system in place would be beneficial to help create discounts for buying "more" of something, but with item sale limitations, it's rough trying to find a single item to buy without being forced to buy a stack. Plus everything is way overpriced to begin with...

To be the easiest amount of an item to buy, is "one".

If you don't like the way it's being sold, go get it yourself.

This is working as intended.

It is specifically designed so that one player cannot monopolize the market by listing all of their items individually and preventing others from seeing the higher priced items.

I don't see anything working well when you have to use up 5 of your 20 spots splitting an item into sets of 5 because people won't buy them 25 at a time.
