Suggestion: Merchant NPC at every camp.

[Akira_Tenshi]

Just another small thing i think would be a nice improvement. If you spend a lot of time at a camp doing behests, gathering, whatever, you soon end up with a lot of items in your inventory. My retainer is full of items i have horded for later use so a lot of this stuff i just sell to NPCS but i can only do that at Camp Blackbrush or Uldah.

Just for the sake of convience and to avoid throwing things away or a long walk, it would be great to have merchant NPCS at every camp. Perhaps they could sell crafting items or other useful things. Of course a trip back to the city wouldn't take so long with Chocobos but we don't have that yet, but even so it would be useful.

Also why only have an NPC like this at Blackbrush and not other camps?

Maybe there will be merchants at the new camps, if so great!

This is a great idea, i cant count the amount of times I have lost items because of a full inventory, or had to drop random items for room for somthing I actually want.

Yes, this has been suggested many times before and it's a very good one. There's no reason why there shouldn't be an NPC merchant at each camp.

You should also be able to summon your retainers at each camp if you so please.

[Frisque]

Totally support this idea.

Yes, pls!

Vendors in camps? Sure.
Retainers? No. I totally want them to remain in cities. If anything, just let me summon them in the guilds

Summon retainers like you do at the bell desk.

Only for exchanging items, not for selling.

Thumbs up'd for both merchant NPC and retainer bells.

Most especially the merchant NPCs. I don't mind holding on to stuff I want until I get to the city, but I'd like to be able to vend drops I don't like to the NPCs and not have to start dropping them like crazy.

Well~ consider the possible story base behind that. Who's to say your retainer is suited to traveling out to meet you at a camp. They're simple servants who live in the city. That could be dangerous for them.

Anyways, I agree that they should be left to towns. It would be convent in a camp, but it encourages a certain lack of depth I find hard to describe. I feel like it would also nurture various other bad habits from all sorts of groups, including the RMT. I imagine a whole system of them making low value, easy item drop farming. Or possibly even base craft item farming.

Another issue I'd find with it is the speed of rare item hoarding. I like the competition of a long wait NM, as well as the simplicity of the new lower tier NM's they've added. But if there were retainers at every camp, I can imagine the ability for someone to horde an NM in which they have the ability to quickly attack, defeat, obtain, store and get back again.

I bet they're nerfing Behests and Leves when it comes to SP with more content coming in (or at least they should considering leves should be a side thing) so we wont be spending a lot of time at camps and hoarding items but the point of so many items dropping is so the economy is interdependent. Everyone depends on everyone else. No one can be fully 100% self efficient unless they have no real life and spend every waking moment in this game. I think given the economy might take off with an influx of players, we'll find better use to all the stuff we hoard (such as selling it in the wards or on the AH when that comes). Calling retainers at camps though I like.

I vote yes to both.
