Phone APP Good? Bad?

______________________________________________________________________

"An app is currently in development for the game. This app will allow players to enter the Linkshell outside of the game, letting them speak to their guild or friends from their mobile devices. This same app will also let players access their retainer and the marketboard."

Personally, I think another medium for interaction among players is good but I'm not so sure about the marketboard element. The undercutting is pretty bad as it is, now we're going to be able to fight each other on the MB through our phones? I see this as habit forming and truly don't want to be thinking about stuff on the MB while I'm logged off.

Your thoughts?

I love the chatting aspect, and the fact that you'll probably be able to send your retainers on venues because I'm usually trying to log in every morning just to send them out and it's pretty exhausting. I get the marketboard thing, but it will change the whole MB price fights for sure, especially right after release.

I actually really like this. Undercutting sucks but it happens regardless, if people really wanna spend all day on their phones to sell their items for less that's fine by me. I don't think that many people will use it for that reason anyway.

I can't wait for it, I've wanted this capability for almost two years.

I would sit on my phone while I'm in a dungeon, so that I can update my prices without ever having to visit my bell again, besides to collect.

Doubt I would be the only person that would.




*tank stops pulling mobs*

Healer: "Tank? You coming?"

Tank: "Sorry, need a moment to update my markets. I was just undercut. Also needed to resend my retainers on ventures."

*Party waits about 2-4mins from player with 8 Retainers to update.*


Now imagine that, just before and after every boss from rapid undercutters.

I do want chat system through phone. MB stuff is fine I think, it's their choice if they want patrol their stuff for undercutting war. We the consumer will be happy with cheap stuff.
