Joke response:
Ps2 limitations.
Serious response:
Ps2 limitations.
Considering the AH merge, that would be merging 4 markets of 7 items max each into one. They very well could make it 28 items up at one time. What's a better number? 10, because there's 10 slots, 3 of which are always empty because of the limit. I know it's been said :/ but it needs to be repeated, over and over until the devs get it.
Normally I hate posting in threads about GENIUS IDEAS FOR CHANGES TO XI
But fuck this does need to change. 7 is some bullshit.
I would love to read these forums without everyone and their grandmother just throwing "PS2 LIMITATIONZ" everywhere. Post something more substantial please.
I'll agree with raising the cap, but not lifting it altogether. I believe gil sellers would abuse the market if it were allieviated, allowing them to farm one area constantly on one character bot while posting constantly on another one. I know if that were the way SE did it, I'd definitely duo box to constantly make gil when I need gear that costs millions.
Because of the limitation, I hafta take the time to send items to multiple characters to get it all up on AH, and that time loss and effort keeps me from making a constant influx of gil. Doesn't mean the limitation can't be expanded to a number to allow more options.
i do remember reading this somewhere on the ffxi notes or something. but im not going to go diving through 6 or so years or notes, updates and communication to find it. but i believe they addressed it at a fanfest iirc. it was one of the questions for the devs, and shocker, ps2 was the issue.
If people repeat it enough, it becomes true right? It has to!
Anyway, as I asked earlier. Is there any proof? I'm not saying that everyone is a dirty liar, I just like references when I see accusations and I'm sure this will help educate the general public, too.
It is true though. I am not sure if it was soley on ps2 limtatiosn but it has to do with something with server load bowing to the ps2 that could only handle 7 items or something.
I know this wow lets you put up unlimited items on AH so the only reason SE has the cap has to do with some limtation and most liky related to ps2 since WoW is comp only
The high cost of AH slots is directly contributing to the shitty AH we have now. No one wants to list items that aren't going to drive a high profit, and so they just NPC them to save time.
