Bazaars are for transactions, not -bleep- storage!

[Rokien]

I don't care what they do to the bazaar system, short of making it some ridiculously gimmicky thing for nothing, the Market Wards will still outright beat it. So quit grieving over nothing.

Now, you can continue to push your idea of an exploit and w/e morals you find are being tarnished via this use of it all you want, but short of being an eyesore to someone like you it has no tangible negative effect on anybody.

I sell things in my bazzar all the time, if everyone was like "use bazaar is storage" People wouldn't look in em anymore, there for I wouldn't sell things.

So yes, it does effect everyone.

Dense Rokien is dense again.

The Market Wards is better in every way. It gets more traffic as a plus for the seller, and has more competitive prices as a plus for the buyer. It's also in a single spot accessible by everyone. There's no reason to actually use a bazaar to sell anything. If everyone decided to put shit up for sale on their bazaars only - and most people don't even fill their entire bazaar with storage - the market wards would still be preferred. This is why people stopped using their personal bazaars.

So other than to play devil's advocate here on the forums, or to just try and sell shit that way for w.e personal reasons you may have, there's no reason for you to reduce your ability to sell efficiently by using a personal bazaar over the market wards.

I think also that personal bazaar needs a fix, it isnt working for its purpose, i do not check any player bazaar since the first month the game came out cos you know that you will prolly find items at 999.999.999 gil.

Im not saying to remove the 10 inventory space extra you have but make any other improvements, like you can make a static chat bubble with some words of what are you selling or something like that, something that tells what are you selling or what type of items are you selling without having to be checked first...

Wait... people actually still expect to buy something from a player's bazaar? Like legitimately expect an item being sold for a reasonable price so much that they are disappointed enough to post a wall of QQ?

Interesting.

This basically.

Im suspecting that ppl who complain about this didn't learn to use ward search yet

[darkstarpoet1]

well here's a thing. originally i did use my bazaar for selling items and i still do when i am in a situation that warrants it. when i am crafting i use it to hold additional materials i am using because i grind when crafting. when i'm farming i'll hold collected materials to save space. when i am at a dungeon you can usually find me with foods and potions for multiple classes.

the point is originally when people did use the bazaars for actually selling items they hardly ever sold at all. the only time you would sell an item off your personal bazaar is if you went afk in a place that there was a group of people or an area large groups of people would pass by it daily. why would you go afk for the night to try and sell a few items if you were lucky when you can sell them off your retainers and get a bonus for logging out at one of the inns?

now go to the way it is now. with as many people in uldah right now there is no way you can tell me that you run through and check each and every person's bazaar there(you can't even get them to all load at once to see them). if you aren't checking everyone's bazaar's what would be the point in trying to sell anything out of it in the first place? if you are the question is why in the world would you spend 3 hours looking at each and every individual bazaar when it would take you 2 min to check the wards and buy from there even cheaper?

Um... if its in the game, and its not a cheat, does not hurt me, you or SE. then i will do what i want.

thank you

A sensible post, for once. I understand what you're saying- though the main appeal of bazaar selling is to sell related items to a particular location- for example, selling ammo and consumables near the entrance of a popular camping spot or raid. This is what I liked most about the system. Think back to XI, especially the early days. There were almost always bazaars in Selbina or by the zone in the dunes to sell people food and stuff. This was where the brilliance of the feature really shined. They carry the same system over to XIV, but once the market wards became functional, people forgot about this (even though the auction house didn't have the same effect in FFXI)

I'm really tired of checking people and finding a pile of items being listed for 999,999,999 gil.

I have stopped checking people's bazaar since Jan. of 1987
