Personal feelings about personal shops?

Even with the addition of cosmetic changes to make stalls similar the ones in Market Wards, or at a rating system. It'll still require the playerable character to be immobilized.

Im saying it should immobilize the player. PS should only be used when you are afk or feel like 'working' for the money. Competitive or quick selling should always be for the MB imho. The rating system and skins were just ideas of adding something no other game has before.

Okay, then what would you say is the fundamental difference between this and the FFXIV's 1.0 bazaar?
Cause that's what I'm not quite understanding, why differentiate Personal Shops as a new term when it functions ideally the way Bazaars were.

Basically from what I understand from the bazaar you chose your retainer to stand in for you? My issue with this is ps imho are something of a charming aspect of the game, rather than a major way of making money. Part of that charm is interaction with other people, which is why many of us play an mmo to begin with. The mb is awesome for making money, and has been in many games. But ps are a great way to make money on the side, if you feel like doing the extra work. If you don't, mb's are right for you. Personally I would use both, and looking from a great deal of positive feedback on these forums I think the community would too. That is why I keep pressing the matter on ps being SEPARATE from the MB, youd be taking the point out of ps, which is more of a social aspect than anything.

No, that was a suggestion I've made to expand the retainer system. The FFXIV 1.0 bazaar system is more or less what you're suggesting.

I've managed to find the old Q&A on Bazaars from FFXIV 1.0 Lodestone

Edit:
The confusion could be made since FFXIV 1.0 bazaar refers to any sort of shop where you had to examine the individual characters, whether if it was a retainer or character.

Though there is a big distinction between an retainer bazaar to a playable character's bazaar.
That being the retainer bazaar can only be sold in the Market Wards,
And the playable character's bazaar was not restricted on location.

Of course now FFXIV 2.0 does not have bazaars anymore.
Retainers' bazaar turned into Market Boards, which you no longer have to examine each bazaar individually anymore.
And playable characters' bazaar was removed entirely.
