Why is there no buyback feature?

Is there one planned?

If not, we need a buyback feature.

Screw buyback feature, we need interface lag to be gone
... DESPERATELY

That system can be simply like in Diablo II.
You sell a item by mistake.
You still have a chance to buy that again but for a higher price than you got it. But you can only get that in same window of vendor you opened. Meaning you get out of "Sell" and go to "buy" and the item will be there.

Now if you get out totally of vendor menus (getting back to game and move around) and go there again the item wont be there because it was refreshed. So it was your fault for not buying when you could.

Other bad luck may occur is if when you sell that item and dc, well item lost...

What I would like rather than a buy back system is a method to "lock" items from being accidentally sold.

Please dont add this...

Game devlopment is already slow and we dont really need this feacher cus you dont know how to play the game. Besides your getting chump change if your selling to NPC.

This would be a huge task anyway. Just think about all the NPC stores and numbers and numbers of sold items you made on every NPC. Yeah alot of saved data.

Yes, it has. It was obviously an exaggeration, and we're all smart enough to know that. Let's not pretend, just for the sake of argument, that we're not smart enough to realize that, or understand the overall point of the original post. Really, let's not pretend we're politicians here - we're definitely more intelligent than that!

Anyway, apparently Yoshi-P agrees with us that it's something worth adding in the near future.

Dude, stop with that! Why do you even care?
"Desperately" was an exaggeration, deal with it. Could be intended as Hyperbole, but how he wrote that seemed like it wasn't. The OP has fixed it and now stay on your barrel so everyone can be happy here!

Supporting Shiki's idea =)

I agree 100% with a buyback feature, but It can wait till more important issues in the game are delt with based on how difficult and time consuming it will be to implement. Like server lag. But Buyback is a HUGE yes. Good idea.

SELL / BUY UI need to be remade, its horrible. Freaking horrible.

This actually seems like a good idea and a decent way to sink a little gil out of the economy. Maybe this will actually get players to pay attention to what they're doing.

Selling stacks takes 3 keystrokes, how did you manage this without spamming "Okay!"?

Not lag.

I once NPCed a Silver Tricorne, fun times.

Definitely agree this feature is needed.

Same reason you care, I guess. We all know it was an exaggeration, we're smart enough to know that, and we don't need to be anal when we essentially agree on the matter. I wasn't the one who flew in with a long post picking on a single word.

If you stay on your barrel, I'll stay on mine. Really, I promise.

Well, that's cool of ya! Not much time for XIV itself today (lol, but I have time for the forums, right?), but I'll go ahead and add ya next time I'm on and drop ya a line!

I like people who can argue hardcore, and then still be cool with when all is said and done. :D

I’d like to give you all an update on the buyback feature.

While the feature was already implemented in the Alpha version, we will be making it possible to use this feature in the Beta Test scheduled for February, so please make sure to try it out when testing.

You missed the perfect opportunity to reply with "Buyback feature [you can have this]" :(

You can put desperately back in now.

awesomeness, after all -- accidents happen!

Even the reps have jumped on the necro bandwagon :p but at least their posts actually make sense.

Because they also dont believe in creating new threads when one already exists on the topic!

It's because:
a) Their posts show up in the dev tracker
b) They didn't have an answer at the time, but they do now
c) What Reika said.
