Commision System - Player-created leves

And what if within those 30 min a swindler just sells your crafted materials? In what way could SE prevent this from happening? Even if you said; well the person who posted the request would get his materials back, what happens to the swindlers money he made from selling the items? Does it subtract the costs he made from the materials? What if he traded the money to someone else, or bought something and has 0 gil remaining? Does he/she incur a negative gil balance?

I like the system, I like the idea, but I feel the only way to make it work is if the crafters don't actually get the supplies in hand, they would have to speak to an NPC and the NPC would say would you like to craft this for abc reward? Yes > crafted item is made and is automatically sent to the mog house/whatever method of pickup--without the crafter ever holding the materials or the finished product. So if that is the case then why just give that ability to our wonderful Market Ward buddies?

I don't know, like I said I like the idea, but I think some refinements are in order. :/

The same way they keep you from doing the same with with Local Leves - the items aren't actually in your inventory, they can only be used through the 'Requested Items' buttons on the craft menu, just like Local Leves.

I'd really like to see something like this implemented. Crafters have been somewhat neglected since Yoshi took over.

Yup it would work like this most likely, but it does make me wonder what kind of stress this would impose on the server with thousands of requests and crafts taking place per hour.

I really don't think SE are capable of this anyway, so it's most likely never going to happen.

I actually think the better soultion would be, that players request an item and put the gil up instead of the items, this way its a simple trade and nothing has to be stored on the server, except the request and money.

Of course we can already request an item on a retainer but its extremely flawed, but this could be easily solved if they reworked the system, you could access the user interface for requested items from any retainer.
