NPC Should Not Sell

[yoshikwalla]

I don't think you should be making any input into this conversation.

This is a conversation for those who have experience the market through their gathering and crafting class.

Wouldn't it be helpful to hear from a consumer for some perspective? Don't expect to make a thread on the General Discussion forum and not receive replies from the general public. If you want crafters only to reply, then post on the Disciples of the Hand forum. Just sayin'.

1) NPC's don't sell HQ's.
2) NPC's that sell stuff past 20 are usually only in one specific spot and most players can not be bothered to travel and waste time just to save 1k on a NQ.
3) NPC gets expensive, fast. No one on their right mind would buy a level 30 weapon for 20k when the AH has it at 5k.
4) NPC's items don't sell the vintage/recrafted gears that are almost always superior.

I could go on and on. Really, I haven't considered NPC's as any kind of competition, ever.

I agree. As a consumer, I'm more inclined to roam the market boards/ do dungeons/ have friends craft my gear instead of roam the shops. I have plenty of friends who are like-minded, but I can understand the necessity of NPC shops. NPC shops are useful for people who know how to play Final Fantasy games, but not Online games.
