[dev1251] Penalty for using market search feature

[NoctisUmbra]

lol @ people whining over an amount of gil they won't even notice spending.

"omg, I normally buy my ingots for 4000 gil but now they're gonna be 4200 gil! This is extortion SE! I don't have 500 million gil I can't afford this!"

If it will make them rage more, I hope the extra surcharge actually goes to the retainer for carrying the gear out to the lazy customers.

Oh, and this:

Gil Sink?

rofl....

After 1000 purchases at 4k, i wouldn't feel a dent.

Cry me a river. You don't need to buy from the search menu, so if it's too much don't pay the fee. You ask for an AH style interface, you got it. Now shut up.

Seriously, do you cry to your boss when your raise isn't as big you wanted?

This thread symbolizes why I love these forums so much.

I am fine with this, especially if it's only 5% and capped at 4k... like others have said players are paying for the 'retainer' to bring it to them. Anyway...

If people go to a restaurant don't they leave a tip for the waiter bring them the food while they sit there?

If people order a pizza, don't they add a delivery fee, and once again people tend give a little tip to the person who brought it to them?

If you order online (unless they have a free shipping special), don't people have to pay to have items shipped to them?

Or you can have free shipping and wait longer for the item to arrive, aka... run to the retainer and get it yourself.



I'm for this.

You people bitch about everything.

Amen +1

You know, this whole time, I've been trying not to laugh, cause it's not very nice. But after the last few comments, I couldn't help it. (For those of you for whom that comes across rude, I do appologize >< )

It's probably also worth mentioning that in FFXI, the gil sink was from the other side - from listing. But in FFXIV, you'll be able to put stuff up for sale as many times as you like, and gil will only leave the economy when an actual transaction takes place. I like that.

Making it less of a gilsink than a traditional AH. Also, every item is now guaranteed to be a "buy it now". You can't get more convenient than that. Add in the new item features when they get done and it's pretty nice.
