Japanese to English translation - Discussion Thread

I don't think the topic was deleted in response to it being posted on the JP side. Usually topics only get deleted if they get out of hand. Excessive flaming etc.

On the "no plans to implement buying part of a stack", I can only agree with the replies that followed on the JP side, that's it's simply impractical. Both for the seller and the buyer. As seller, you have to spend a lot of time splitting the stack up if you only want to sell, say, 2 at a time. As buyer, you are more or less forced to buy the stack, use the amount you needed and throw the stack back into the market.

I see why they have the system the way it is, but also know there are lots of sellers out there that don't want to go through the hassle of splitting and doing all that so what they should of done is add a check box which allows the seller to choose if they will allow the buyer to buy singles or any amount from the stack they are selling up on market. Then have a mark/icon on the market board for the buyers to see and know that for this item line they can specify the quantity for purchase.

That would of solved this one, but I guess that's hard to implement.

That's the system they had in 1.xx, though not many used the bulk sale option. I'd LOVE to see it make a return to being just an option, rather than compulsory.

Yep just like 1.0 without the need to go through every market ward to find the retainer lol

This is similar to something I posted in some other thread. SE could just add an option for the seller to set a minimum purchase quantity that defaults to the full amount. For example, say I list 100 shards and the default would be that the minimum buy is 100 shards. But I could list 100 and set a minimum buy of 10 or 12. Then someone could buy 15 or 98 if they wanted. Once there are fewer than the minimum left on the market board, the market board could either return the items to the seller or change the minimum to the remaining quantity.
