[Suggestion] Revamp Marketboard To Function Like WoW/EVE

Alternatively, people could just stop selling in stacks greater than what most people want. If you sell a stack of 99 materia you are just selling to pentamelders.

The issue with that is each 'stack' takes up a Retainer "Sell Slot".

And for me, personally, I'm trying to clear out Retainer inventory from 5+ years of playing (read: pack-ratting). So I have many materials with over 300 quantity, but since they're old they don't move. Though, when they do it's for significantly more than the Vendor Sell price.

Maybe you should consider the market and vendor a reasonable stack at a time - you don't have to just flat out sell everything in 99 Stacks, you can sell it in various amounts based on customer need. Have you learned nothing from the Crafter Job Quests in Stormblood?

A 'reasonable' stack would still leave several Retainers 'preoccupied' with selling items; 'reasonable stacks' tend to be 1 or increments of 5.

And yes, I could put up 5 listings of 1 or 5 at a time. But that's tedious. Games shouldn't be tedious.


Also. I haven't done Job Quests since Heavensward. So, no, I guess I haven't learned anything from the Crafter Job Quests in Stormblood. :P

Agreed, if they let me post 20 stacks of 5 with 1 button click then I'm all for it.

But I'm not about to manually split a stack of 99, 20 times just to have to click them in and type my price in (even using ctrl+V) and double check that I'm not selling the whole stack. Just to have to do that 20 times each with 5 different mats.

If I had a 1 button push where I could set the stack to 5, set my price per stack and then the amount of stacks I want to sell, then I wouldn't have a problem selling split stacks.

But until that happens you can buy 99 off of me. Do whatever you want with the other 94.

It's also tedious to put items for sale on small amounts.

this wouldn't happen as often if people had more than 20 slots to sell on the MB but that would mean square wouldn't be able to charge you for a third retainer.
