Free Company/Linkshell Shops

It's time for another bad idea, bad idea. So we'll have Free Company storage IIRC. So why not Free Company shops? Officers would manage it of course. Just an easier way to sell high ticket items.

The intent of this originally was to allow a Free Company to sell items on the market.

So like a retainer multiple people can access. lawl.

I actually quite like the idea. It adds another adhesive to keep Free Companies together. It would be interesting if Free Company stores could sell unused R/EX gear (yes I am aware this is basically Bind on Equip). It would give them unique wares that you could only get from the best Free Companies, thereby raising their status in the community.

It would be handy for say if you want to do a free company Ifrit run kind of thing and want to save people some trouble by having them buy tapers instead... though tapers are untradable unfortunately.

Other than that... can't really see much other use. (Crafting is pretty much done as 'requests', selling farmed items is more profitable and faster through market wards).

(whoops someone beat me to it, 3 mins ago... learn2typefaster)

If Free Companies will have their own chest then this is a pretty good idea, anything sold on the free company retainer will go to the free company chest.
