[Suggestion]: Player Delivery Requests

[Lokier]

On my server we use party finder for rare crafting requests (set to server-only) which works pretty well. Requesting small stacks would probably be a huge amount of clutter, but I wouldn't especially object to a way to indicate that an item is in demand. You can wishlist it but people selling probably won't notice it that way.

In that instance it would be nice if they made a P/F section specifically for buying and selling.

While I'm not totally against this, I'd like to point out a few things that could prove to make this uselss or even a frustrating experience:

1) Time - We need to take into account that palcing orders doesnt mean they'll be adressed within the next 5 minutes. So it becomes rather useless if you want to craft something right now - could take 5 minutes to 5 weeks until someone comes along and wants to fullfill your request.
2) Demand - Lets say we have this system, I check the "request board", see that someone wants oak and go out and gather some... and when I come back with my oak 15 minutes late someone else has already fullfilled their need for oak. So now I'm sitting there with stuff I neither want nor need - and sure, I can in theory just sell it, but its still frustrating. (And for something like oak it wouldnt matter to much - but think about crafting something that requires more expensive mats AND sells really slow - it would be really frustrating to craft an orchestrion and then be left with it, for example)
Or would I take up a request and that request is "bound" to me then? Like a quest that no one else can have? If so: For how long? Can I just pick up requests, locking them away from other people?

Seeing how we can essintially do everything by ourself in this game, I dont really see an extreme need for this - but that might be becasue I am doing everything by myself and only using the marketboard for convenince when I dont want to go out and gather some stuff myself. But for that the request board would be totally useless - its most likely always gonna be faster for me to go out and grab those ores myself than wait for someone to find and then fulfill the request.

This is why it would be good for us to have are own personal shops where we can seal things on the go like in FF11 that way you could find someone that is sealing a small stack for cheaper.

Or they could just add a area on the market that only allows you to seal half a stack of items.

Heh all they really need to do is let us buy the amount we want out of a stack. That would fix the problem. This will be especially true if the rumored increase of stack size to 999 happens.

This is never going to happen. People post things in large stack sizes at lower prices because they want you to buy all of them.
