[dev1017] Letting Crafters add Comments or Signatures to Their Finished Goods

[Bayohne]

Putting aside my hilarious comment from yesterday, we did make an inquiry about this! The dev. team liked the idea, and know it's a popular one for many reasons (such as those listed in this thread), and they do want to implement it. However, items currently place a huge load on the server, especially the Market server, so this isn't something that can be implemented immediately. Once server-related issues are resolved, which plans are in motion to do, we can start working on implementing signatures, etc.

Sorry that it's not a technical breakdown of what the exact programming-related issue is, but hopefully we'll continue to get good ideas for future additions, regardless of any current technical hurdles (that are being addressed).

Thanks again Bay! You rock.

I don't know if or how they would do it here but on 11 if you put it on the Auction House the signature was lost.

I believe this would be the proper way to do it. If an item is sold through a bazaar, as opposed to traded, it should have the signature removed. Perhaps that would lessen the strain.

Also I wonder if that strain is why the item search does not tally +1, +2, +3 items...

I must hear this in an official statement from our reps. This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in so long I almost cried a tear of blood.

Welp, there ya go. Right from the [strike]horse's[/strike] marlboro's mouth.

I am telling you this much, I will never spend a guild mark on a crystal. Whether it tags my item or not.

so what happens when you have 50,000 marks + and have already bought all the abilities? just let the points stack up? I would say they should keep the gil prices, but also charge you maybe 50 marks as well, that seems fair.

There's no harm in at least having the option, yes. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I'd want signatures to cost guildmarks. What would be the point? To prevent spamming?

Could this be related to having 10 colors of every armor piece in the game? If so, I'd vote to do away with the system except on Rare/Ex items that are gained from Dungeon Raids or HNM's. That would be an immediate measure to help against server clog, and after all most of the armor looks almost exactly the same regardless of the color.

Nowai, the color diversity is awesome. if anything more things need color options, and current things need more color options. The major problem isnt that there are so many different types of items, it is how the servers is handling them.
