    Then why restrict selling?

    Either get rid of the restrictions or close them off from one another.

    This "High pop servers gets to supply the whole fucking world without its sellers getting their cut" thing is annoying.

    What are you going to do with the ability to sell on other servers? And why is it important?

    If someone was inclined they could use the gil they already have to find something that sells for 100k or whatever less on another server, buy all of them and then go to their server and sell it for 200k.

    If the servers were all linked (where it was one single MB for all the data center) then the seller would be selling directly to the people of every server. If they wanted to do it in a very poor mans way they could just let you sell on other servers without making them one MB to rule them all. That way the person selling would be able to sell their goods on what ever server they wanted.

    As it is right now having "Traders" that just go from server to server buying a some goods and then reselling them on their server is dumb.

    Pool it all into one MB / let sellers sell on other MBs or restrict it again.

    There is a reason WoW or any other successful MMO hasn't done this.

    So you want to get rid of a feature that benefits a lot of players and that's because there are lazy ones that would buy expensive stuff on their server that were bought from other servers for a cheap price instead of directly buying it from the cheap server? Sounds more like you're upset that you're not getting a piece of the pie from these lazy players.

    Juat because there those that don't utilize the feature fully doesn't mean the feature is bad or should be removed.

    You do realize that this is how "we buy your goods and resell them" websites work right? Gamestop, Car Dealerships, and many other companies do the exact same thing. Buy low sell High. In this case, by allowing people from higher populated servers buy items from lower population servers, it lets more currency flow throughout the lower population servers boosting their economy. It also allows people, who may not be the wealthiest on a high population server, buy goods at a lower price than on their over-inflated servers. It is a win-win scenario really. If all the other MBs were linked and you could buy and sell goods it would not help the lower population servers at all because all of the wealthy people on the top control the economy of the entire data center. That is the EXACT opposite of what they are trying to do.

    They get their cut when someone buys what they're selling. What someone does with it is no longer their business.

    All that would do is force the same super high price as the lowest common denominator.

    So punish all players for the worst market of the smallest server?

    Nice, by chance are you AOC?

    No, what it does is placate greedy MB overlords who think they can charge bloated prices just because they didn't have competition before.

    Not sure why a you think a communist would occupy any thought that i have save for the butt of a joke.

    She really does need to talk more though. When this whole political thing falls through when she runs more jobs out of her area comedy can be her back up.

    All that being said only one post in here retorted my point at all. The dude that did (The multi degree having "businessman") got dunked on so hard he decided to not post to me again.

    I'm going to call this thread closed and will simply exploit the current system to raise prices further. Thanks for everyone's time.
