Personal feelings about personal shops?

Why would you need to keep on checking every single bazaar when you could just /sea all? Those who are selling their items will advertise it with their search comments. Also you could use the guildwork plugin and /gw search <item name> to find what you want.

A lovely idea in theory, and I've often set such search comments myself. Unfortunately, in practice less than 10% of bazaars bother with a message, so you still have to wind up checking everyone out for fear of missing out on a good deal. It doesn't help at all that your seacom gets erased every time you log out for whatever reason, so if you disconnect and have to relog to set up your bazaar again, it's all too easy to forget to reestablish the message.

Yeah you are right. The inconvenience of setting up the seacom again after a dc or even checking on other bazaar for hope of getting a cheap bargain.
This is also the reason why i've changed to using the guildwork command. I'm able to search for all bazaar in the world while hiding in the comfort of my moghouse and still be able to see the cheapest deal around vanadiel.

Although I like the Marketplace, I like the thought of being in the middle of nowhere and a player has a shop there and then and when you go back to the area the player isn't there and you never see them again.

wasnt trade command meant to be for that purpose?

no trading is for trading items. Comparing trading to a personal shop is quite like comparing dueling to pvp. They are similar but in the end they are two separate beasts.

I would love to have my own food store that would be amazing and If we paid rent to own that space that would be amazing to it would feel just like Log Horizon but FFXIV style it would make this game so much more interesting than always grinding. or fighting.

I thought the system they had in 1.0 (after the improvements) was good.
Tie that in with housing, now we'll have personal shops, with a search function that writes your home address on it.

That's a really good idea they could put the Personal Shops in the Ward is it areas where the FC houses are or where are own personal houses will be. And with a search option all you would have to do is type in what you are looking for and it would give you the ward name and the location for you to go there. You could also have the store opened or closed and when you wanted to do a mission or quest you could leave you retainer there opened for business.

I would like to have a personal bazaar back like we had on XI.

FFXI idea in this game would need to be worked on in such a big way but i think this thread will come up with a formula that would work and be more compatible with this game layout.

I think we are getting somewhere.
