Translated - Suggestion to add options for Bazaar (answered by rep)

[AlexiaKidd]

Wow what is it with these servers, is there anything they can do? I wonder if SE is looking at moving onto a new server technology because if they can't do things like this and LS management options because of the servers then what can the servers do. Of course SE could just be fobbing us off and using it as an excuse.

It's not the technology, it's the interface. A lot of stuff people want (management, better searching etc etc) is tied to the interface which with a serverside interface, it has to be damn well perfectly optimized to actually work and be possible. Now, throw in the fact that something like a bazaar system would generally be in your client module, which then interacts with the server, which in some MMOs I've played, the items actively stack onto each other even in bazaar/shop. That's because the client tells it to then the server confirms it.

In XIV? The server has to tell it to, then the server has to confirm what it just said, thus why MMOs stray from making 100% reliance on the server. Which iirc the original reasoning was to fight RMT and botting.
