If you guys could go ahead and restrict the use MBs while being on another world

[JohnSpawnVFX]

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?

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

Nice, by chance are you AOC?

I sure am, Mr. DP

I love that I can go to another server to buy things. Cause sometimes when I want something my server either doesn't have it or it's way to costly. So please keep the ability to buy things from other servers.

Then let sellers sell on those other servers or link all MBs up (per data center of course).

Otherwise get rid of being able to buy on other servers.

Why is it either or?

They will eventually introduce a cross-world marketboard, until then, buyers have choice, there is no downside unless you're a price gouger.

[JohnSpawnVFX]

They've already said linking MBs is not (yet) technically feasible for them.

[Losara]

The grand plan is likely to link all market boards together on a data center so that we don't actually need to cross world travel in order to buy/sell on it.

When SE work out how to do that all will be well, at least we'll have more customers and buyers.

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

What in the world are you talking about? Of course the sellers on high pop worlds are "getting their cut". Your complaint is a non-issue, and frankly, there's only benefits to be had (from a macro-economic perspective).

Yeah I don't get what they were saying either. I make a few hundred thousand gil a day and don't mind peeps from other servers coming over to buy what I put up. That person can sit back down, he doesn't speak for all sellers.

[Camiie]

Because if you can't sell on other servers you shouldn't be able to buy on them. All it does is make the more populated servers be burdened with supplying the lower populated ones. If traders could buy and sell on what ever server they wanted then it would be a.. much more fair market.

There is a reason no other game (MMORPG) has done something so incredibly stupid to their market.

If people can come from other servers and buy from your server's MB then you are selling to other servers.

It would be like having china not be able to sell goods outside of their country.


You know nothing about economics.
