Npc markets should close at night

[BruceyBruceyBangBang]

Not a very good idea overall. Especially since tomorrow is Black Friday. Why would the NPC markets not open at Midnight for their door buster sale?

I actually liked this idea in FFXI, most people are just impatient.

Ohhh the /rageface...especially when the following game day was the shop's "holiday".

*twitches*
never forgive.... bonecraft... shopkeeper.... DESTROY!!!!

Or at the very least maybe the NPC should change, like the changing of shifts. Definitely don't close it entirely though.

i didn't like it in ffxi. you get in mood to craft or you get some time between events for like an hour to craft and bam it's firesday and your locked out of items. though in ffxiv we don't have a huge need for npc's but in the likeliness and possibility of that changing i say just keep them open.

they push this casual crap down our throats all year long so i doubt they would want this added. everything they are creating this mmo around right now is everyone doing everything "when they want" so it doesn't fit that. ..i don't agree with this idea totally but for shops i would say yeah sucks if you can't cram even 20-30mins in cause a shop is closed.

I think this kind of stuff could work well overall beyond just shops - I'd really like to see the whole town have a sense of time. Right now no one cares if its raining of if its on fire. Add more complex behaviors latter once released if you they dont have time but it would be great to see NPC's rushing from dry spot to dry spot when raining (or night / day responses).

Can add movement without being frustrating (lock outs and such).

So yeah I think so as well :P

Sure close the shops at night because that's never been a hassle to have to wait 30 minutes for them to open back up, but why stop there why not allow the NPCs to all migrate to the residential wards and disappear for the night, why would they stand there in place all day and night but only decide to sell during the day? I mean if you have to stay at your place of work why not just help a customer out.

Great idea, so those people who cant play at certain times are screwed out of NPC usage, brilliant...
