Useless seals exchange

[Wenceslao]

What about Shami, he already takes "useless seals" (at least i don't see the reason for trading me valious orbs for just seals, lol) and gives us orbs, why not program him to store and trade these seals, for example every hand seal of your choice for every 5~10 seals of the same part (ex: 5~10 cirque hand seals = 1 hand seal of your choice) this way, they do not have to add a new character just reuse one that already receives seals, otherwise the option of remove the ex of seals could help us a lot.

I agree that a trade-in system for extra seals would be a good addition. And while I usually cringe at suggestions for more NPC-driven menu systems, the idea to use Shami makes sense as well; he does already serve a similar function.

[Hikura]

i agree with just removing the "ex" tag. even if they make it so you cant bazar the seals only trade them it would be nice. working on quest for hours or even days to get only half of the seals you need or less while you have full sets of others is very frustrating. or joining a party to seal farm nms when the rest of the party gets their sets finished while you end up with 1 seal (its actually happened to me) is even more frustrating. they just need to make them trade-able and remove the ex. =D

Because people would charge rediculous amounts of money for them, and that would mess up the economy.

There's no possible why this would happen with how readily available they are to begin with.

other option just in case i lvl that job i will Eventualy being able to trade them in early to the margian moggles along with the Limit break seels . as well as adding new BCNM's or etc to the Seals npc in port juno I'd like to have the ablity to store the crests etc... or after creats get Abysites needed to trigger certian mobs in exchange for seeals or if in party swap seal turn in credits for seals needed at the mooggles .

being a key item exhchange via moogle might work too..

I have margianl trial drops i hate to nuke... but .... i'm runing out of room to store.

the other thing to is adding consignment & Barrter .on AH for a fee one can list items but they have no cash value. or cant be sold for gil.

Consigment could be usefull at getting rid of useful but offten drops i normaly vendor trash but make them avalible to be bought minus a %age fee insted of a listing fee for less valuble items
and or a means of posting hi value items untill they sell.

the Barter option might be good for seals as I could list WAR etc seals bidding price RDM/WHM/BLM/BLU/SCH/SUM seals in kind as trade. thus no trade items could be brokered to the neady in exchance for your needs.

or if i was that rich a twilight sythe in exchange plus gill for a Kraken club... or the like .

we can bater over shouts and amounght the linkshells , but adding a means of doing it might be useful too. that is more automated etc.

I would prefer to see the EX droped from all seals, but i can see "Shami" be a workable option too.

For example, if you trade Shami, 1 unkai hand seal, 2 mavi hand seals & 3 tantra hand seals, he will reply with something along the lines of "you are currently holding 6 hand seals"...I would suggest the rate be about the same as the current rate to exchange seals (soon to be crests) for an orb, which is 30 (for minimum exchange). so you trade 30 seals of same body part, you get a choice of 1 seal, which relates to what you have currently traded. 30 hand seals for 1 hand seal (of your choice)

[Simian]

I suggested on a different thread a while ago a system where players could trade same seal types with each other. You can not trade more than the lowest number of seals by either person so the number traded will be equal. Hands for hands, head for head, etc etc. No bazaar, just straight up trade.

You have some Orison seals I want. I have some Mavi seals you want. I have 5 seals but you only have 3. So only 3 seals can be traded. Keeps currency out of the equation and you are getting due credit for your efforts. Keeps bots and mules out of the equation as well. There is no profit to be made.

There's no possible why this would happen with how readily available they are to begin with.

Anytime anyone can make money off of anything someone else is too lazy or desperate to do... they will make money off it. They have fell cleave parties people have to PAY for, and i have heard of people PAYING a lot of money to get into an abyssea party as a level 30 char. So someone, somewhere would PAY for seals. example : someone new to abyssea who has sat in a pt all day wants seals for say blm head but they don't wanna use their precious time for farming seals (which we all know can be time consuming, especially if you don't have anyone with discernment or all the procs) so they sit in port jueno or wherever and just shout Blm head seals do you have it? reward 10k each. Someone will sell them their spares and make money, OR get a bunch of spares from NMs they camp from people all day because they mass time farm so they can sell them to people who either don't have time or are too lazy. Even if they were only trade able that's easy to get around. Trade the seals, then trade the gil in a 2nd trade. I was not belittling the idea of making them tradable earlier, i would LOVE to be able to get the 8 mavi body seals my husband got from a quest while going for a different job body for my blu because he doesn't need them and i do. But you can see by my example, someone, somewhere would abuse the system.

an unrelated topic to this one but goes into my people are too lazy to do it category, moblinweave takes 3 spools of moblin thread and is lvl 31 clothcraft, while i was farming in mavop i got a buttload of moblin thread and made them into weave, which was 50k, its NOT hard to make/get but people are too lazy/desperate/in a hurry so if they can just BUY it, which they DID (i made 400k in 2 days totally legitimately off of putting the weave on the AH because no one else was selling it) they will.

[Glacian]

I would be happy with a simple filter on Dom Ops that only rewarded you with seals of jobs you have level 80+. That way when you don't get seals from jobs you don't currently have leveled & can't even wear the gear for that job yet. No more useless seals for jobs I have sitting at level 1 and don't have any plans to level to 90 anytime soon. But if I do choose to level those jobs, I can start getting seals from Dom Ops when it reaches level 80+.

@Kavik
You said rediculous amounts. I was stating that that was impossible. As in your estimates were wrong, not that people wouldn't buy them.
