Npc markets should close at night

I suggest a compromise: Have tiny shops outside the main cities have operation hours. Say, one of the NPCs in Hyrstmill or Aleport close down for the night. Main cities though, their shops have to cater to adventurers. Would make more sense to keep the shops open 24/7 in a city.

Don't really need the entire world shutting down at the strike of 9pm (in game), but having NPCs exhibit a little bit of life would only add to the world. Then again, I can easily see how this would become an annoyance.

Funny, I seen more legit players doing this than RMT...just like in XIV legit players were ripping people off more than RMT were because in every MMO, RMT always sell low on auction house type systems lol.

Yeah, of course there was legit playrs doing this too. Brings back "fond" memories...

5am at the Cooking Guild....like 20 lvl 1 mules lined up at the npcs...5:01am game time..all the rice is sold out. Mules log off.

Substitute rice for yarn/cotton/threads/ingots/etc lol

Having this system makes it harder for rmt because they have a clock to deal with

I'm assuming you mean RMT. We shouldn't be putting systems like this in place that punish legit players because of RMT. This is just a major annoyance. That's not a good reason to make players who may have limited play time also deal with a clock, especially for something as simple as buying items from an NPC.

I wasn't suggesting it to battle rmt. Was just making a point because someone said rmt would camp the npcs. So if they are camping an npc then they are not farming

Lazy attempt at a thread OP.

It doesn't, they will just buy loads of items from NPCs, manipulate the markets and sell them overnight for what they want, people will buy them because they are impatient, and not to mention if you are 1 min late you have around 30 mins to wait to buy something.

Night for who? And then what about night-shift players? etc etc.

So it's not really a rip off. It just looks that way because of RMTs.
