"Blackout Countermeasure" and Bazaars

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Blackout countermeasure--Limit the number of characters that are shown in certain areas to 35.

This... isn't really acceptable. Half the reason why there are 36+ characters standing around is because of all the salable items you won't permit on the Auction House, requiring players to set up AFK Bazaars instead. Limiting the number of characters visible also limits the number of Bazaars browseable, adding to the burden of completing an already frustrating chore.

The obvious solution is to add all items bazaar'd to the AH.

Some of the expensive items will still be bazaar'd because of losses from tax if you need to put it up multiple times.

Also partial stacks of common items abc|shells|bynes|bucks|alex|HMP etc will be bazaar'd often.

It should at least get rid of 20% of the semi-permanent bazaars.

[also increase items able to sell on AH to at least 10]

I swear SE must be employing people designing the game who have never ever ever played it

put the bazaar tax back. the zone was never this laggy when the AFKs were standing out in the batallia entrance.

Agreed, get all the AFK's out of the city.

I never really browse bazaars, but the few weird occasions I do, I so wish people would form a nice, long line so that it would be easy to check them all.
If only there was a smart way to restrict how close each bazaar was to one another, without it crippling normal movement around or any sort of griefing...

As for them being in towns, I don't really mind that. The maximum amount of visible characters never was an issue to me me I maybe guess. I do wish bazaars weren't so much needed in the first place, but when creating something like the relics, mythics, and empyreans, it's kind of a must for one to go through the trouble.

I don't think it would be quite so bad if it were just currency/alexandrite, but mannequin parts? Really?
