As was said before, this was a player-initiated method to avoid Jeuno tax, there's nothing SE can "bring back".

On Leviathan it's in Upper Jeuno atm, and I prefer it that way, both as a buyer as well as a seller. Takes less time travelling there and don't have to zone out and miss shouts/yells. The lag (yes, lag is actually the correct term, both for connection delay as well as hardware delay) is about the same, there's not many NPCs in Upper Jeuno in the area where most Bazaars are these days (and there's more NPCs outside now as well).

As for lagging the zone out for people passing through, what is there in Upper Jeuno that people need to do? The only problem I see with this is in Port Jeuno (and possibly Ru'Lude Gardens), but there's not nearly as many bazaars in either of these zones as people claim here. And even without any Bazaars Jeuno would be laggy as hell because people are lonely and love standing next to Horst and Joachim and pretend they're their friends.

You've been missing out man. My chocobo is a beast once it gets red shells to take out the leaders in the race, banana peels to trip up the competition and lightning bolts to shrink everyone.

This is what everyone really wanted deep inside. I mean, it sort of has items, but people wanted it to be like mario kart, not like the kentucky derby.

Not on Shiva. There are a few, mind you, but what bazaars we do have are all over jeuno (mainly lower/rulude), not just in port.

Yes on Shiva. With 309 ppl in Port Jeuno, over one hundred ppl are afk bazaaring between the house and the entrance to the street, with the majority around the guide stone. And it's probably more because of the aforementioned 50 character limit, so there will be a ton I don't see. However, it is fun to argue against Tsuki for the sake of it so...

There are less in Upper Jeuno (120 ppl in zone, only about 50 bazaars). I always figures there were bazaars here so the would be picked up by the FFXI Bazaar website. Seems the chap running that site cancelled his subs back in Dec '11 though (shame ).

Sure they can.

How?
Well, don't you mention that yourself right there? o_o

Doesn't have to be Taxes though. It could be anything just to shoo people somewhere else.
As for me personally, I don't care much of them as I rarely even check them Bazaars so I wouldn't mind them not being in area I use (though I tend to prefer hanging around at Bastok).

They used to be at Sauromugue Champaign on Fenrir.
Haven't seen any there I think after the Taxes were removed, I think.
Not that I have checked for a while.

It would surely be nice if they still were in a place where the shouts or at least yells will be seen at. That said, I'd still prefer they'd be out of city areas since the game is made just so badly on that regard that issues arise from high number of player characters about. =/

They need to:
A) make the /yell function work in every city
B) make the chocobo circuit function like a hub (walk in from one city, walk out to another)
c) Add NPCs in the Circuit that function like an auction house, but deal only in currency, plates, alex, dice, mirrors etc.

There are less in Upper Jeuno (120 ppl in zone, only about 50 bazaars).

as a percentage, the number of bazaars is higher, and the number of people in that area that are actively browsing bazaars is also higher, because there are fewer other things to do in that area.

As covered earlier I wouldn't mind a dedicated purpose area (much preferable to an area with monsters in it- you can concievably kill bazaar people by dragging NMs over there), but we really already have the ideal area in the chocobo circuit because it can be accessed from every major city including aht urghan, and its currently a very low traffic area.

lol Now thats funny'

[Godofgods]

I'd honestly rather them remove the tax on the chocobo circuit-

Just because YOU dont race choco's, doesnt mean that other ppl dont.

OK? I never said that nobody ever races chocobos. In fact, part of the idea of bazaaring in the chocobo circuit is that the chocobo circuit gets more exposure.

The central section and all the currently empty rooms would be great for trade.

[Godofgods]

They ever implement this? Or just something that slipped into the background again
