The RolanMart

[Divinius]

Sorry Alhanelem, I'm going to have to adamantly disagree with you on this one. Having bazaar mules outside of the city was far superior to having them clogging up a town zone. I can't stand trying to browse bazaars in Upper Jeuno, when it was infinitely easier to tab around the group in Rolanberrry.

Also, since Port Jeuno is the new congregation point, having bazaars one zone away in Rolanberry would actually be closer than where they currently are, 2 zones away in Upper.

I would be all for reinstatement of the Jeuno tax to remove them from the cities once again.

Why should I have to walk out of town to shop bazaars when they can be in town and I don't have to walk as far or zone out? I was SO HAPPY when the tax removal made bazaars move back inside.

But I thought you liked running long distances for no real reason? Or does that only apply when you want to troll a thread about teleporting directly to BCNMs?

I agree that having all the bazaars in 1 place made looking for something vastly easier, but there are inconveniences with going outside. The most obvious of having to run there. The 2nd being that while going through 200 bazaars will probably take a decent chunk of time, you can't see any shouts/yells you might be looking for (Voidwatch, etc) while you're outside of the city.

I feel at the very least, bazaars should be moved out of Ru'Lude Gardens and Port Jeuno. Port Jeuno's lag comes from a large number of issues, Abyssea npcs, AH, bazaars, BS/KS/KC/HKC npcs. However I feel tax in only Port Jeuno, similar to the ideas suggested by the devs (AH tax, bazaar tax in Port only) would cause a shift of everything to Ru'Lude Gardens, since it also has all of the npcs (except the seal npcs), and the Magian Moogles. So in an attempt to divide everything, they should make it so the popular place to bazaar does not have Abyssea warp npcs in it, and that might split up some of the traffic.

I totally agree with outside town bazaars, Port Jeuno is a nightmare with all the afk bazaar characters trying to load. That is one of the main reasons I don't have my character on Jeuno, cus the awful lag. Also because many players choose to make their home point at Port Jeuno too.

Rather being on my main city and see the shouts/yells from an internet page.

I love to see the return of the Rolan~mart's. Use to be some what of a treat to head out there and see all the shinny toy's every ones was selling. With out the hassle of lag. Tho I doubt they'd institute a city tax just to force players out there.

How does the bazaars being in town make the toys any less shiny? There is always going to be a little "lag" (STOP CALLING IT LAG, ITS NOT LAG IT'S POOR PERFORMANCE / LOW FPS!) wherever the bazaars go- it's not any less unpleasant outside than in.

I prefer Rolan mart as well, but the original tax was to get people out of Jeuno, I don't see why they couldn't do it again.

Wrong, the original point of the tax was simply a gil sink and to avoid undermining the auction houess, which also charged a fee. It was the players who decided to take measures to avoid it.

If they should do anything at all, it's lift the tax on the chocobo circuit and turn those rooms full of AH windows into actual AH windows. It may as well end up being a centralized hub of activity, maybe then people might even actually do chocobo racing...

Most of this wouldn't actually be a problem if people spread out to each area of jeuno instead of everyone setting HP in port. Some people have moved to ru'lude, but usually there's nothing in Upper except the bazaars (on shiva) and the people looking at them, and lower jeuno doesn't fare much better.

Bazaars in Jeuno wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't fill a large amount of them with utter crap, like heart chocolates with maxed out prices one million gil cookies and etc. Basically if you do that, you can GFY.

Some of the (old school i'm guessing) JP Shiva population bazaar in Upper Jeuno, much less of a clusterf**k.

[Alhanelem]

Everyone was there for a while, then after a while they began to disperse, with some moving to port and others to ru'lude.

From day 1 of the game's launch this has driven me crazy. I don't care if you have some sellable uber peice of armor you're not wearing that you just want to show off- don't put up a bazaar if you don't want to sell stuff. Some people say they do it to prevent accidental dropping of items. It's such a hassle to do it that way that it makes a lot more sense to just store that stuff in your storage or mog safe or sack or satchel or locker where you can't directly throw stuff away either...

Rage much over nothing?

Here a suggestion that my be far fetch but maybe could have some merit. How about just adding a new zone to jeuno specific to bazaar in. You could just make it devoid of anything else so the congestion would stay down when It comes to traffic. You could still catch shout's, and they could even add a option to leave from you MH right into the zone. Which could cut down on the lazy man's walking time. You could put the entrance down at the bottom of port jeuno, across for the Qufim zone. Have the area display as a port. With ships coming and going.

I'd honestly rather them remove the tax on the chocobo circuit- After all, the auction houses have been unified and you can use them from every city, why not the same thing for bazaars?

I have a Star Sapphire I bazaar for max gil, but only when I'm actually selling something else. It's dorky and inv -1, but given my name it just makes me smile.
