If you guys could go ahead and restrict the use MBs while being on another world

[Azureskies]

If you insist on price gouging then I'll find another server that sells cheaper.

Then why restrict selling?

Either get rid of the restrictions or close them off from one another.

This "High pop servers gets to supply the whole fucking world without its sellers getting their cut" thing is annoying.

What are you going to do with the ability to sell on other servers? And why is it important?

They get their cut when someone buys what they're selling. What someone does with it is no longer their business.

If someone was inclined they could use the gil they already have to find something that sells for 100k or whatever less on another server, buy all of them and then go to their server and sell it for 200k.

If the servers were all linked (where it was one single MB for all the data center) then the seller would be selling directly to the people of every server. If they wanted to do it in a very poor mans way they could just let you sell on other servers without making them one MB to rule them all. That way the person selling would be able to sell their goods on what ever server they wanted.

As it is right now having "Traders" that just go from server to server buying a some goods and then reselling them on their server is dumb.

Pool it all into one MB / let sellers sell on other MBs or restrict it again.

There is a reason WoW or any other successful MMO hasn't done this.

All that would do is force the same super high price as the lowest common denominator.

So punish all players for the worst market of the smallest server?

Nice, by chance are you AOC?

So you want to get rid of a feature that benefits a lot of players and that's because there are lazy ones that would buy expensive stuff on their server that were bought from other servers for a cheap price instead of directly buying it from the cheap server? Sounds more like you're upset that you're not getting a piece of the pie from these lazy players.

Juat because there those that don't utilize the feature fully doesn't mean the feature is bad or should be removed.

How about consider an alternative?

Link all the MB's together so when you list on one retainer it is visible and available for purchase from all MB's on that datacenter? SE can even add in a little extra "tax" for buying stuff not from the current world you are on so you can avoid the tax by going to the native world and retainer location?

This will maybe make everyone happy yes?

[Violet_Galaxy]

that would be great.

Maybe if vendors would stop charging outrageous prices for things, this wouldn't be an issue.

[Seraphor]

They likely will eventually introduce a cross-world Marketboard, but this is a stepping stone on the way to balance the economies between servers.

There's no benefit to selling on other worlds under the current system. You'd have to transfer to another world, list your item, and then you'd have to go back to that server to check up/adjust/bank the gil.
The current system gives buyers choice, which is healthy for any economy. That's the most important thing.

[Krotoan]

If anything I've only seen prices go down. So far by practical measurements all it has done is even out the marketboard prices. If someone is yoinking from a cheap server and selling it expensive on theirs, everyone still has the opportunity to shop on other servers for the cheap price. I made a large portion of gil for about 2 expansions by buying glamour dispelling prisms from a vendor who was literally 30 meters away from a MB and selling them for nearly twice the price. Footwork for profit isn't a new thing.
