Not being able to buy single items from a stack on the marketward.

[Wulfies]

Bizzy - sorry I entered in an "L" into your name (was staring at the computer screen for far to long) Ok, we will keep the TP outta here, I don't want any bad puns.

I am advocating that people have the OPTION to sell as stack OR individually.

Bizzy is right in the fact that it isnt RMTs that are saturating the economy, those RMTs would rather they just sell to the NPC because its simpler and quicker and since they are selling just to convert the gil to $$$.

Bizzy - My point 2, in post #395, you pretty much answered with your post #401. Market saturation drives prices down.

Its become apparent in this thread that some people refuse to allow the common sense of it in their thick skulls. Adding this mechanic in would destroy an already troubled market board system.

Are you saying that my option is a bad idea?

On a seperate note (which i think would be best suited for a new thread, but we can cross that bridge when we get there). If we wanted to setup "Buy-Orders" how would we go about this? The way I would tackle this would be to allow you to put in an order, example "I want 20 Iron Ores and I will pay 1 gil for each. so the order will look at 20 @ 1gil. Now once this is posted people can look in the "Buy-Order" section and see if there is anything they want to sell at the current prices.

Let me pre-empt some of your counters with this:

1) Yes, there will be idiots wanting to buy a pair of Vanya Pants for 1 gil. Atleast you can point and laugh and move on down the column.

2) Yes, I do want people to be able to fill partial orders, so John can fil 10 of my 20 Iron Ore and Jane can fill the remaining 10, ece, ect, ect.

3) There should be a tax, make it payable at the end, as each partial/full order is completed and paid buy the person who put the order in.

4) When the "buy-order" is placed, pull the money from the buyers gil at the time the order is placed

5) I have not made up my mind if there should be a time limit on the buy-orders as they have as auction sales


I went ahead and made a new post so that we do not all spew off on tangents and keep to the topic. the link is here:
