A fact i love from retainers i dont want toget changed once 2.0

[BadOmen]

With the upcoming 2.0 and the promise of an Auction House.... i think this deserve to be mentioned and at least i havent seen anyone to mention.

What is it? well it is the way sales/purchases are anonimous.

In FFXI you had to deal with stuff like this...

1.- You set an item for 100 gil but then someone make a mistake and buy it for 100000 gil... then as seller you have a guy trackin you down to make you pay for a mistake that wasnt yours, Now this will be debatable from diferent points of view it be fair or not blah blah blah, this not the point of the matter, the trouble is you as hseller end with someone chasing you. On our current sistem this doesnt applies as you watch the actual price of an object, but with the upcoming introduction of an Auction House this might be again a concern.

2.- On FFXI you sell something of big interest and your name appears on the list as seller... ok this might be good, as people might try to contact you to buy things directly from you.... but it also has its bad side... there will be also people contact you who do alot of questions about it and dont even make a purchase from you, also what if for x-reason you want to sell something without no one to know about it?

Anyways the main point is, i love the way people know wich retainer is sellin what, but no one see your main character's name on it, and honestly i love it and i dont want it to change once they add auction house style, it would be neat if it happens to be like in XI... but with the diference the name(s) that appears on the sold/bought list be those of your retainers and not your main characters name.

The only thing I love about retainers is the +300 inventory lol

[Klefth]

I only wish they'd implement bidding again à la XI instead of showing the actual prices on stuff as this only seems to encourage some ridiculous, absolutely absurd undercutting. Because of that, trying to sell something is a freaking pain in the ass 90% of the time.

Retainers should display who they belong to, so I can send angry /tells to the butthole who puts up the thing I need for 999,999,999 gil.

[Klefth]

Yeah, or to the assholes who drop the prices over 50% overnight.

[LlenCoram]

Am I the only one that has my name on my retainer? Llen's Fish Market (Llensfishmarket) just made sense to me at launch, since we didn't have a search or anything. Best way to advertise.

I also appreciate the anonymity of retainers.

Also, the people who put things in the wards for 999,999,999 gil are doing so (I think) because that particular item (and its purchase history) won't be searchable unless someone's had it up for sale in the wards. I think the FFXI AH worked similarly to this, which is why sometimes you'd see someone selling an item to themselves in its history.

No, they do it for a free inventory slot.

People just did it in XI to show off that they had the item, which was a waste of gil...but whatever, their loss.

Also to price fix.

*New Item Released*

AssholeA: "I'll put this item up and sell it to myself for 8,900,000 even though it's worth no where near as much."

People tried the same in XIV with the new materia, like the Store TP and Acc materia, it dropped pretty quickly when people realized not everyone is a dumbass and will buy 4 STP and 4 ACC materia for 9 million.

the thing i absolutely HATE about this system is the limits the wards have. if you make a system and design a server to have x amount of people design the wards to fix X times 2 amount of retainers. i know theres grid and limsa wards but good luck selling anything there.
