I'm not forcing anything on anyone. Nobody forced you to read the suggestion or agree with it.

Congrats guys, you just figured out the whole problem with the bazaar system. Nobody uses it for what it's designed for because people found some other uses for it (including some that are arguably cheating). The whole point of this thread is to find a way to restore the bazaar's original function. It's beyond me how so many trolls can come in here and find it to be such a horrible idea to make something work the way it was originally desgined to work.

This is very obviously an exploit and they probably will prevent it in the future. Though instead of being jerks about it, they could just increase the points awarded fort hose items.
You can blame the launch and general structure of bazaars for the sorry state that the system is in and why it has (to my knowledge) stayed that way, and probably will stay until 2.0. Here's a little story for you!

Back in the first few weeks before it became the norm to stuff extra items in your bazaar, I found a pretty damn cheap mid-R20 range polearm that I could use in the near future. Naturally, I wanted to buy it before somebody else did.

Great! It was used properly back then. Guess what happened next? I got to chase the person down for about 2 minutes before I finally sent the player a tell politely asking them to stop so that I could actually purchase the weapon. Not sure if it's still the same way now since there is very little reason to check, but your character is frozen in place while the bazaar window is up.

Combine that with the lack of notification for your bazaar being examined by X player as well as the fact that you need to be within trading range to actually buy something, you have a clunky, highly user-unfriendly system which is a hassle to even think about utilizing.

Sorry to say, but we're playing in 1.X's limitations and I really don't see the bazaar system as a high priority fix before the relaunch. Maybe in 2.0 when they revamp everything we'll see something of an improvement.
