World Visiting system

[Penthea]

I'm also concerned about this. People can just purchase something in a destination world for cheaper, move back to their own, and resell at a higher price.

That would only work if the buyer doesn't know they can visit another server, doesn't know they can use another server's mb, or is feeling lazy and cba to go to another server. Personally if I find something is too expensive I'll do what most people do irl and that's compare prices from other places.

Selling NPC shop item on the MB was pretty popular before they add the price tag on them and it still work pretty well so yeah many many people won't bother jumping world to world for an item they can just buy now, they don't even bother looking for the NPC in their world.

Yeah I know the laziness of people will do that, but I'm more worried about the Rich guy who will jump around and start hording something to make it where you can only buy it from them.

Monopoly is sure a pain in the butt, serveur monoply-free won't be anymore.

Balmung sellers would be wise to jack their prices up immediately before the patch drop as it is going to get zerged by the other servers.

As a crafter, I see two sides to this. Yes, people will buy things off other servers that are cheaper and as much as I could drive the price of an item up on one server I would find it hard to do on all of them. You buy out an item an hour or two there will be several for some expensive prices, within 12 hours most items are flooded out again. So there may be attempted abuse by players or mule money. On the other hand, I feel like it would open up the market to buy items that are hard to get on my server. I have checked other servers and sometimes they have rare items that no one uses and I can't find any for weeks up to months on my server. People I need to craft its what I do let me get my resources. FYI crafters don't always make a profit. Try making a sword that cost 2 million and people undercut and no one buys till it sells under a million. It happens more than you would like to think.

Yes, please come to Gilgamesh and give me all your gil! I am waiting with baited breath!

[ThunderGodThor]

As a crafter/gatherer, I find the idea of having to visit other worlds to compare markets to be a burden if anything. May as well just make the entire datacentre share a market and be done with it. Though if profit margins shrink enough, I'll just stop crafting for gil and sell mats instead. I'm curious how many other folk would too.

I'm sure they mentioned that you cannot visit worlds listed as "Congested" and even populated worlds if they hit a certain number of online at once etc, though you will be able to go back to your world even if its "full".

[Aggomarr]

My concern with this is that the lower populated servers will struggle to sell anything without severely undercutting, because the prices on those servers are high due to the low population. People will just visit other servers to buy things, so those lower pop servers will struggle to sell anything, and thus struggle to make any money at all to buy anything period. And since you can only sell on your own server, well...

I can only say that I'm concerned for the economic chaos that will occur for all servers at this point.
