I do, however, understand the fact that people often feel the need to place the blame on something/someone for peace of mind so I do not blame them.

Also, by your logic, if enough people claim to say it's not due to ps2 limitations everyone should believe that instead. Which of course is not a good thing.

That JPButton link was pretty cool, it's a shame it didn't say why the AH limit was dropped to 7. This debate would have ended promptly. Thanks Kaida :)

Hmm, let me put this another way: the "ps2 limitations" thing clearly came from somewhere. This was one such moment that lead to the overuse of "ps2 limitations". I won't deny the possibility of what you said but, some of us remember when the "ps2 limitations" "meme" started. This very topic is one of it's origins.

The earliest memory I have for PS2 limitations excuse was for inventory spaces. People wanted more and more and SE kept saying we can't, PS2 limits us. Then they kept giving us gobbie bags to increase our inventory, wtf? ... After all the PS2 limitation crap they tossed at us from NA release, they said 80 was the actual limit back in Nov2008 (link) and thus came the satchel and (now) sack...

Of course, just because it's MY earliest memory from since I started playing back in Nov2003 doesn't make it the earliest instance of PS2 limitations.

Yeah there's a few instances of it. Inventory space was one of the bigger/more noticed instances of it (brought up more than once), though I don't think the 7 items limit one was said more than once. There really shouldn't be an excuse once they merge the auction houses to increase the limit to at least 10. There is no argument on that (not that I actually have/had an argument).

I've said this before in some form or another but it is worth repeating:

Even if in a given instance of a thing we want the ps2 limit excuse was irrefutably proven false, that still doesn't mean it can be done. We should really stop bringing it up in every suggestion and just let the developers decide what they have the resources and means to accomplish. They will anyway no matter what we post at each other.




That isn't to say not to suggest work around for whatever reasons they may give for things (mog satchel and sack both bypass original goblin bag size limit problem), just that the whole argument over what they might have said is kind of pointless, ya know? And also worth considering that maybe just saying something about the ps2 was easier than explaining things.

NEED MOAR DEVELOPER ANSWER. >:O

Yes, please!!! Please, please (PLEASE!) remove the 7-item limitation and increase the time items can stay on the ah to a real-life week.. I have literally 13 mules I have occasionally utilized to list crafted items on the ah. Removing the cap would make my life a HECK of a lot easier! lol

(13x7=91 items)..... lol, yes I know.. its a lot... but I'd like no cap on item listing if that's possible..

I would think the 7 item limit is simply another way to curb RMT activities. Picture this: with unlimited or very high item limitation it would be easier for someone to simply buy everything of some item, and re-list them all at a higher price. Even if it wasn't an RMT doing it, you know it would kill the economy.

PS2 limitations.

I think having a limit is okay, but it would be nice to be increased at least to 8 to match everything else, trading, mailing etc. I also think the 3 day auto return kind of sucks, but if they were to get rid of it, they would not get so much gil in taxes as they do now, not sure this would be an issue.

I would be fine to pay higher taxes (that equivalent of 1 week's worth) for the removal of the auto-return (or at least bumped up to 1 week)..
